What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of Lacosamide (LCM)

    Blood samples will be taken at indicated time points to determine maximum Lacosamide (LCM) plasma concentration.

    Measured: Blood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

  2. Area under the LCM plasma concentration-time curve from time zero up to the time of last quantifiable concentration (AUC[0-t])

    Area under the LCM plasma concentration-time curve from time zero up to the last quantifiable concentration data point, computed using the log-linear trapezoidal rule.

    Measured: Blood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

  3. Area under the LCM plasma concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity (AUC)

    Area under the LCM plasma concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity calculated as AUC(0-t) + t/z, where t is the estimated plasma concentration at time t and z the terminal elimination rate constant.

    Measured: Blood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Terminal plasma elimination half-life (t1/2) of LCM

    Terminal elimination half-life of LCM, reported in hours, as determined via simple linear regression (slope=-z) of natural log (ln) concentration vs time for data points in the terminal phase of the concentration-time curve. t½ is calculated as ln(2)/z.

    Measured: Blood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

  2. Time of observed Cmax (tmax) of LCM

    Time of observed Cmax will be obtained directly from the plasma concentration-time curves.

    Measured: Blood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

  3. Apparent plasma clearance (CL/F) of LCM

    Apparent plasma clearance calculated as CL/F=Dose/AUC. CL/F will be calculated for the oral tablet formulation only

    Measured: Blood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

  4. Apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F) of LCM

    Apparent volume of distribution, calculated as Vz/F=(CL/F)/z. Vz/F will be calculated for the oral tablet formulation only

    Measured: Blood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

  5. Plasma clearance (CL) of LCM

    Plasma clearance, calculated as CL=Dose/AUC. CL will be calculated for the iv formulation only.

    Measured: Blood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

  6. Volume of distribution (Vz) of LCM

    Volume of distribution, calculated as Vz=CL/z. Vz will be calculated for the iv formulation only.

    Measured: Blood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lacosamide (LCM) tablet and Lacosamide (LCM) solution for infusion in people with Healthy Male Chinese Volunteers, run by UCB Biopharma S.P.R.L. at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 2 Aug 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 China. 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 plasma concentration (Cmax) of Lacosamide (LCM) (time frame: Blood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing). The study lists 3 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 2 Aug 2017.
