Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 to 50 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Healthy males and females according to the following criteria:
  • Based upon a complete medical history, including physical examination, vital signs (Blood Pressure (BP), Pulse Rate (PR)), 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG), clinical laboratory tests
  • Age ≥21 to ≤50 years
  • Minimum weight 50kg - both males and females
  • Body Mass Index ≥18.5 to ≤29.9 kg/m2
  • Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and local legislation prior to admission to the trial
  • Male or female patients. Women of childbearing potential1 must be ready and able to use highly effective methods of birth control per International Committee on Harmonisation (ICH) M3 (R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly e.g. implants, injectables, combined hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine device, or surgical sterilisation (including hysterectomy). In addition to this, also a barrier method (e.g. male condom) will be required, if the female is not surgically sterilised. A list of contraception methods meeting these criteria is provided in the patient information. Abstaining from sexual activity (if this is the usual lifestyle of the subject) is considered an acceptable method of birth control.

Who cannot join

  • Any finding of the medical examination (including Blood Pressure, Pulse Rate and Electrocardiogram) deviating from normal and of clinical relevance at the discretion of the investigator
  • Any evidence of a clinically relevant concomitant disease
  • Any relevant Gastrointestinal (e.g. ulcera, hernia, bleedings and spasm), hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, immunological or hormonal disorders

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ibuprofen and Pseudoephedrine-HCl in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 1 site in South Africa.

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 7 inclusion and 38 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 27 Sep 2018. 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 South Africa. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Sep 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From 0 to Time of Last Quantifiable Time Point (tz) of Ibuprofen. (AUC0-tz) (time frame: Samples were collected Pre-dose and at 0:10, 0:20, 0:30, 0:45, 1:00, 1:15, 1:30, 1:45, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 24:00 and 30:00 hours post dose.). The study lists 4 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 27 Sep 2018.
