About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Balanced, Single Dose, Two-treatment (Fed vs. Fasting), Two-period, Two-sequence, Crossover Study to Evaluate the Effects of Food on the Bioavailability of 60 mg ER Torsemide Tablet in Healthy Human Adult Subjects

This study will evaluate the effects of a high-fat meal (food effect) on the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of 60mg ER Torsemide tablet after single dose oral administration in healthy volunteers. The study will be conducted as a two-sequence to period crossover study to compare 60mg ER Torsemide ER bioavailability under fed and fasting conditions. 60mg ER torsemide is a new strength and dosage form.

Read the detailed description

Immediate Release (IR) Torsemide is a highly effective natriuretic drug but its short duration of action is a major drawback, which allows significant post-dose sodium retention, and as consequence, limits salt loss in patients with heart failure unless dietary salt intake is severely restricted. Extended Release (ER) torsemide is being developed to address this drawback by prolonging the duration of action to increase sodium excretion even in patients who consume high salt diet. Since 60mg ER torsemide is a new strength and dosage form, this study will test 60mg ER torsemide for a food effect in healthy volunteers who are either fasting or consuming a high-fat meal (fed). The primary endpoint of the study is full pharmacokinetics measurements after a single dose of 60mg ER torsemide. The secondary endpoints are 24h sodium excretion and total urinary excretion.

Being tested
Fed- 60mg ER Torsemide, Fasting- 60mg ER Torsemide

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Fed- 60mg ER TorsemideDrug

    Also called High fat/high-calorie fed conditions

    60mg ER Torsemide will be given after high fat, high-calorie meal

  • Fasting- 60mg ER TorsemideDrug

    Also called Fasting conditions

    60mg ER Torsemide will be given after overnight fasting

Study groups in NCT03215875
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Fed- 60mg ER TorsemideExperimentalAdult healthy subjects will be given standardized high-fat, high-calorie meal prior to dosing
Receives: Drug: Fed- 60mg ER Torsemide
Fasting- 60mg ER TorsemideExperimentalAdult healthy subjects will fast overnight (at least 10h) prior to dosing
Receives: Drug: Fasting- 60mg ER Torsemide

What is being measured

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

  1. Peak torsemide plasma concentration

    Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) (ng/ml) in fed and fasting conditions

    Measured: 36 hours

  2. Total torsemide plasma concentration

    Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) (hr/ng/ml) in fed and fasting conditions

    Measured: 36 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Urinary torsemide excretion

    torsemide will be measured in urine over 36 hours post-dose (microgram/min)

    Measured: 36 hours

  2. Urinary sodium excretion

    36-hour sodium excretion will be measure (mmol/min)

    Measured: 36 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Fed- 60mg ER Torsemide and Fasting- 60mg ER Torsemide in people with Food-drug Interaction, run by Sarfez Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1 site in India.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 2018. 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 India. 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?

Peak torsemide plasma concentration (time frame: 36 hours). 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 18 Apr 2018.
