About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-label, Single-period, Parallel-group Study in Healthy Subjects to Determine the Effects of Dissolution Profile on the Pharmacokinetics (Via Both Venous and Peripheral Micro-samples) of Single Oral 300 mg Doses of Tafenoquine (SB-252263) Tablets + 30 mg Tafenoquine Stable Isotope Labelled (SIL) Solution

This study will investigate the effect of Tafenoquine (TQ) 150 mg tablet ageing (dissolution profiles) on human exposure of TQ comparing the relative bioavailability of TQ from tablets exhibiting different dissolution profiles in healthy subjects. This is a single-centre, 2-arm, randomized open-label, parallel-group study in healthy subjects. All subjects will arrive in the unit approximately 24 hours prior to dosing and will be discharged after the 72-hour post-dose assessments are completed. Subjects will return for outpatient visits on Days 7, 14, 21, 28, and 56 after dosing. A total of 14 subjects (n=7 subjects in each arm) are planned to be enrolled. All subjects will receive a single dose of study medication (2x150 mg TQ tablets + 30 mg TQ SIL in solution) and participate through a 56-day post dose follow-up visit. To enable the application of peripheral microsampling in planned paediatric studies, a comparison of the measured pharmacokinetic (PK) exposure via peripheral blood collection (via microsampling) to venous collection will also be performed in this study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Ratio of the geometric means for the area under plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) for Tafenoquine X

    Blood samples for PK analysis of TQ will be collected for evaluation of ratio of the geometric means (90% Confidence Interval [CI]) for the area under plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to time t (AUC [0-t]) and area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUC[0-inf]) for the treatment group dissolution profile X compared to Control.

    Measured: Samples will be collected at Pre-dose and 1, 2, 6, 9, 12, 15, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours post dose on Day 1 and single sample on Day 7, 14, 21, 28, and 56

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Safety as assessed by clinical monitoring of blood pressure

    Systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be measured in semi-supine position after approximately 5 minutes rest. Blood pressure will be measured at pre-dose (at least 30 min. prior to dosing and at least 15 min. after waking) and at 12 hours post dose.

    Measured: Up to 12 hours

  2. Safety as assessed by clinical monitoring of pulse rate

    Pulse rate will be measured in semi-supine position after approximately 5 minutes rest. Pulse rate will be measured at pre-dose (at least 30 min. prior to dosing and at least 15 min. after waking) and at 12 hours post dose.

    Measured: Up to 12 hours

  3. Safety as assessed by clinical monitoring of electrocardiogram (ECGs)

    Single 12-lead ECGs will be obtained in the semi-supine position at screening using an ECG machine that automatically calculates the heart rate and measures PR, QRS, QT, and QT interval corrected for heart rate according to Fridericia's formula (QTcF) intervals

It will be assessed on Day -1, Pre-dose and post-dose at Day 7 and Day 14.

    Measured: Up to Day 14

  5. Safety as assessed by clinical monitoring of Clinical Chemistry parameters

    Clinical chemistry parameters includes blood urea nitrogen, potassium, aspartate aminotransferase (SGOT), total and direct bilirubin, creatinine, sodium, alanine aminotransferase (SGPT), total protein, glucose, calcium, alkaline phosphatase and albumin. It will be assessed on Day -1, Pre-dose and post-dose at Day 7 and Day 14.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tafenoquine dissolution profile X and Tafenoquine SIL in people with Malaria, Vivax, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ratio of the geometric means for the area under plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) for Tafenoquine X (time frame: Samples will be collected at Pre-dose and 1, 2, 6, 9, 12, 15, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours post dose on Day 1 and single sample on Day 7, 14, 21, 28, and 56). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02751294, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Jan 2017.
