About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomized, Single-dose, Two-period Cross-over Study to Evaluate Bioequivalence of GSK3542503 Hydrochlorothiazide + Amiloride Hydrochloride 50 mg: 5 mg Fixed Dose Combination Tablets Versus Reference Product in Healthy Adult Participants Under Fasting Conditions

The combination of the diuretics amiloride hydrochloride (HCl) and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) (GSK3542503) is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure and hepatic cirrhosis with ascites and edema. This first time in human (FTIH) study is aimed to determine whether the test product GSK3542503 is bioequivalent to the reference (ref) hydrochlorothiazide 50 milligram (mg)/amiloride hydrochlorothiazide 5 mg in healthy adult participants under fasting conditions based on pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoints. This is a phase I, open label, balanced, randomized, single dose, two-way crossover study, enroling approximately 42 healthy participants at a single center. Study participants will be randomized to one of two treatment sequences (A-B or B-A) in accordance with the randomization schedule. A single dose of one of the two treatments A (Test: GSK3542503, a hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg and amiloride hydrochloride 5 mg fixed dose combination) or B (Reference: Moduretic, a hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg and amiloride hydrochloride 5 mg fixed dose combination), will be administered on Day 1, in each treatment period. Each participant will participate in both treatment periods and receive a single dose of each treatment. The treatment periods will be separated by a washout period of at least 7 days and no more than 14 days. The total duration in the study for each participant is expected to be 5 to 7 weeks, from screening to his or her last visit. A maximum of 42 participants will be randomized such that at least 32 evaluable participants complete the study.

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

  1. Area Under the Curve (AUC) From Time Zero to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC [0-t]) of Hydrochlorothiazide and Amiloride Hydrochloride

    Blood samples were collected at indicated time points under fasting conditions for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of hydrochlorothiazide and amiloride. Bioequivalence of test product and reference product was assessed based on the 90 percent confidence intervals (CIs) for estimates of the geometric mean ratios between the AUC (0-t) of the test and reference products in relation to the conventional bioequivalence range. An analysis of variance was used with sequence, subject (sequence), treatment and period as fixed effects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GSK3542503 (HCTZ 50mg/Amiloride HCl 5mg tablets) and Moduretic (HCTZ 50mg/Amiloride HCl 5mg tablets) in people with Hypertension, run by GlaxoSmithKline 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 2021. 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 31 Aug 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 Curve (AUC) From Time Zero to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC [0-t]) of Hydrochlorothiazide and Amiloride Hydrochloride (time frame: Pre-dose, 0.33, 0.67, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 10, 12,14, 16 hours post-dose on Day 1, 24 and 36 hours post dose on Day 2 and 48 hours post-dose on Day 3). 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 7 May 2021.
