About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Single Arm, Self-controlled Safety and Pharmacokinetics Study to Evaluate the Effect of Propionyl L-carnitine Hydrochloride on Healthy Chinese Subjects by Diet and Multiple-doses

The main objective is to evaluate the effect of Propionyl-L-Carnitine Hydrochloride on clinical pharmacokinetic characteristics and its effect of clinical pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety on healthy Chinese subjects to provide a basis for market authorization registration

Read the detailed description

This is a single group subject, open-label, self-controlled, 3 periods, multi-doses administration trial. 12 Healthy Chinese volunteers satisfying inclusion criteria were enrolled with equal number of male and female. Each subject goes through a 7-day Run-in period to eliminate the remaining L-carnitine like substance in the food to ensure the baseline level of endougenous L-Carnitien is stable;In period III, during the first 4 days,all healthy subjects take oral Propionyl-L-Carnitine 1g twice daily; on day 5, all healthy subjects take oral Propionyl-L-Carnitine 1g during fasting.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under Curve (AUC)

    To observe area under curve characteristics of Propionyl-L-Carnitine in single or multiple dose groups

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Propionyl-L-Carnitine Hydrochloride in people with Peripheral Arterial Diseases, run by Lee's Pharmaceutical Limited.

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 6 inclusion and 40 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 30 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Area Under Curve (AUC) (time frame: Day 3 and 4, 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 24h after drug administration on day 5). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 30 May 2016.
