About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open Label, Crossover, Bioavailability Study to Compare Omexa Sumatriptan Transmucosal Sublingual Tablet Versus Commercial Imitrex® Sumatriptan Oral Tablet in Healthy Volunteers

the trial is a randomized, open label, crossover, single-administration bioavailability study to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of Omexa sumatriptan transmucosal sublingual tablet versus commercial Imitrex® sumatriptan oral tablet in 14 healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

Volunteers will randomly receive either the commercial oral tablet 100 mg Imitrex® or 75 mg Omexa sublingual tablet under fasted conditions. One week following the first administration, the volunteers will receive the alternative treatment.

Blood samples will be collected at each visit before drug administration and at 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 240, 360 and 480 min after drug administration, in order to characterize the drug's absorption and pharmacokinetics, as well as to evaluate Omexa formulation safety.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Omexa Sublingual Sumatriptan tablet and Imitrex Oral Product in people with Migraine, run by Targia Pharmaceuticals Ltd..

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 9 inclusion and 22 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Nov 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax) (time frame: Predose, 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 240, 360 and 480 min post-dose). The study lists 3 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 3 Nov 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 4 Nov 2026.
