About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled Study in Healthy Volunteers to Investigate the Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Rising Single-doses of BIA 6-512 and Their Effect on the Levodopa Pharmacokinetics When Administered in Combination With a Single-dose of Levodopa/Carbidopa 100/25 mg or With a Single-dose of Levodopa/Carbidopa 100/25 mg Plus a Single-dose of Entacapone 200 mg

To investigate the effect of rising oral single-doses of BIA 6-512 (25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg and 200 mg) on levodopa pharmacokinetics when administered in combination with a single-dose of immediate release levodopa/carbidopa 100/25 mg (Sinemet® 100/25) or with a single-dose of Sinemet® 100/25 plus a single-dose of entacapone (Comtan®) 200 mg and to assess the tolerability and safety of rising single oral doses of BIA 6-512 when administered in combination with a single-dose of Sinemet® 100/25 or with a single-dose of Sinemet® 100/25 plus a single-dose of Comtan® 200 mg.

Read the detailed description

Single centre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study in four sequential groups of healthy subjects. Eligible subjects were admitted to the UFH on the day prior to receiving the first study medication. On the morning of the first dosing day (Day 1), subjects received BIA 6-512/Placebo concomitantly with Sinemet® 100/25; on the morning of the second dosing day (Day 2), subjects received BIA 6-512/Placebo concomitantly with Sinemet® 100/25 and Comtan® 200 mg. Products were administered in fasting conditions (at least 8 hours). Subjects remained confined in the UFH from admission (Day 0) until at least 24 h post last dose (Day 3); then, they were discharged and will return for the follow-up visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sinemet® 100/25, Comtan® and BIA 6-512 25 mg in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Bial - Portela C S.A. at 1 site in Portugal.

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 10 inclusion and 18 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 Mar 2017. 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 Portugal. 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?

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?

Maximum observed plasma drug concentration (Cmax) - Day 1 (time frame: pre-dose, ¼, ½, ¾, 1, 1½, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24 hours post-dose). The study lists 12 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 Mar 2017.
