About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Pharmacokinetic Parameters of "Diprospan"

Evaluation of pharmacokinetic parameters of diprospan in long term when administered systemically in patients in routine medical practice.

Applied research project.

Design: open-comparative prospective cohort study.

Two groups of subjects:

  • patients who are receiving diprospan in standard therapy of their existing disease, or multiple times, but following the introduction of diprospan is planned no earlier than 28 days after the first,
  • control group of subjects for the study of pharmacokinetic parameters diprospan and its metabolites.

Objectives of the study: to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters of Diprospan in the long term when administered systemically in patients in routine practice.

Read the detailed description

Design: Open-comparative prospective cohort study.

The study population: two groups of subjects

  • first group: patients who are receiving diprospan in standard therapy of their existing disease, or multiple times, but following the introduction of diprospan is planned no earlier than 28 days after the first administration.
  • second group: the control group of subjects for the study of pharmacokinetic parameters diprospan and its metabolites.

Intramuscular injection diprospan (suspension for injection) at a dose of 1 ml (7 mg) once.

Main objective of the study: to evaluate pharmacokinetic parameters of Diprospan in the long term when administered systemically in patients in routine practice.

Objectives of the study:

  • to develop laboratory analytical method of quantifying the investigated substance (betamethasone) in human urine sensitive, selective and precise method using high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass selective detection,
  • analysis of quantitative content, evaluation of pharmacokinetic parameters of diprospan in the bioassay in patients with systemic intramuscular application in routine clinical practice in the Russian Federation,
  • analysis of clinical patient data and pharmacokinetic parameters of study drug in the urine of patients,
  • determination of minimum number of arbitration bioassay to store,
  • preparation of recommendations for systemic use of glucocorticoids in athletes, in accordance with the requirements of the all-Russian anti-doping rules and the requirements of the anti-doping rules, approved by the international anti-doping authorities.

First group (patients receiving diprospan).

Stage 1: selection of study participants from a number of patients who are administered with Diprospan" at a dose of 1 ml (7 mg) intramuscularly as standard therapy of existing disease, or multiple times, but following introduction of "Diprospan" drug is planned no earlier than 28 days after the first.

Step 2: draw the original samples for pharmacokinetic studies, a single injection of the study medication as part of routine care.

Stage 3: Sampling in dynamics for pharmacokinetic studies; assessment of clinical and laboratory parameters after a single administration of the study drug.

Stage 4: evaluation of clinical examination data and pharmacokinetic study.

Second group (control).

Stage 1: selection of study participants from a number of patients or healthy volunteers who had not received systemic or local corticosteroids in the last 12 weeks before the screening visit.

Stage 2: drawing of samples for pharmacokinetic studies.

Primary endpoints:

  • betamethasone concentration in urine.

Secondary endpoints:

  • evaluation of articular status,
  • overall assessment of the health status of the patient,
  • overall assessment of disease activity, physician assessment of disease activity criteria for SDAI, CDAI, DAS-28.

Number of patients.

First group (the study of the pharmacokinetics of the drug "Diprrospan"): at least 20 patients (10 men and 10 women).

The second group (control): at least 20 patients (10 men and 10 women).

Safety monitoring In accordance with the order of the Health Ministry of Russia №757n "Approval of the Procedure for monitoring the safety of medicinal products for medical use, registration of adverse events, serious adverse reactions, unexpected adverse reactions in the use of drugs for medical use."

What is being measured

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

  1. Betamethasone concentration in urine

    Quantitative determination of study drug (betamethasone) in human urine should be conducted sensitive, selective and precise method using high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass selective detection (HPLC-MS / MS) with a detection mode permits fragment ions not more R <70K. laboratory analytical method should be developed for the measurement of betamethasone with the definition of the limit of not less than 7.5 ng / mL.

    Measured: Day 28

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Articular status (swelling)

    Number of swollen joints

    Measured: Day 28

  2. Articular status (pain)

    Number of painful joints

    Measured: Day 28

  3. Physician's assessment of disease activity

    Visual analogue scale, mm

    Measured: Day 28

  4. Simple disease activity index SDAI

    Scale: remission; low activity; moderate activity; high activity

    Measured: Day 28

  5. Clinical disease activity index CDAI

    Scale: remission; low activity; moderate activity; high activity

    Measured: Day 28

  6. Disease activity score DAS28

    Scale: remission; low activity; moderate activity; high activity

    Measured: Day 28

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 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 18 Apr 2017. 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.

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?

Betamethasone concentration in urine (time frame: Day 28). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03119454, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Apr 2017.
