About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Six Multiple Rising Dose Regimens of BIA 5-453 in Healthy Male Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to assess the tolerability of BIA 5-453 after six multiple rising dose regimens of BIA 5-453.

Read the detailed description

Two centres, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study of six dosage regimens of BIA 5-453 in six groups of healthy male subjects.

In each group, the study consisted of a 10-day multiple-dose period. Progression to the next dose level only occurred if the previous dose level was considered to be safe and well tolerated. An appropriate interval separated the investigation of doses to permit a timely review and evaluation of safety data (including plasma exploratory pharmacokinetics) prior to proceeding to a higher dose level.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BIA 5-453Drug

    Also called Etamicastat

    Presented as blue hard gelatine capsules (size 2) of 1 mg, 10 mg and 50 mg for oral administration

  • PlaceboDrug

    The composition of the placebo is qualitatively the same but without BIA 5-453 pharmaceutical active ingredient.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent of subjects with at least one adverse event

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 10 days

  2. Percent of subjects by dose group with at least one treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAEs)

    Treatment-emergent adverse events are adverse events that occurred either in the 72 hours after dosing or that was present prior to dosing but exacerbated within 72 hours after dosing.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BIA 5-453 in people with Hypertension and Chronic Heart Failure, run by Bial - Portela C S.A..

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 5 inclusion and 15 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 21 Jul 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?

Percent of subjects with at least one adverse event (time frame: through study completion, an average of 10 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Jul 2016.
