About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled, Rising Multiple Dose Study in Healthy Volunteers to Investigate the Effect of BIA 6-512 at Steady-state on the Levodopa Pharmacokinetics When Administered in Combination With a Single-dose of Levodopa/Benserazide 200/50 mg or With a Single-dose of Levodopa/Benserazide 200/50 mg Plus a Single-dose of Entacapone 200 mg

The purpose of the study was to To investigate whether the administration of BIA 6-512 (25 mg, 50 mg, 75 mg and 100 mg) at steady-state affects the pharmacokinetics of levodopa when administered in combination with a single-dose of immediate release levodopa/benserazide 200/50 mg or with a single-dose of immediate release levodopa/benserazide 200/50 mg plus a single-dose of entacapone 200 mg.

Read the detailed description

Single centre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, rising multiple-dose study in four sequential groups of healthy male and female subjects. Eligible subjects were admitted to the Human Pharmacology Unit (UFHBIAL - Portela \& Cª, SA) on the day prior to receiving the first study medication. Starting in the morning of Day 1 (first dose), subjects received BIA 6-512/Placebo thrice-daily until the morning of Day 5 (last dose). Concomitantly with the morning dose of BIA 6-512/Placebo, on Day 4 a levodopa/benserazide 200/50 mg (Madopar® 250) single-dose was administered. On Day 5, a Madopar® 250 single-dose and a entacapone 200 mg (Comtan®) single-dose were administered concomitantly with the morning dose of BIA 6-512/Placebo. In the morning of Day 4 and Day 5, products were administered in fasting of at least 8 hours and subjects remained fasted until 2 h post-dose. Subjects were resident in the UFH from admission (Day 0) until at least 24 h post last dose (Day 6); then, they were discharged and returned for the follow-up visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BIA 6-512, Madopar® 250 and Comtan® 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 20 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 30 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?

Day 4 - Maximum observed plasma drug concentration (Cmax) (time frame: pre-dose, ¼, ½, ¾, 1, 1½, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 16 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 30 Mar 2017.
