About this study

Official title: Drug Interaction Study of Safinamide and a BCRP Substrate, Rosuvastatin, Concomitantly Administered to Healthy Volunteers

To evaluate if safinamide at the steady state, obtained after multiple 100 mg once a day administrations, has an effect on the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin, concomitantly administered as a single 20 mg dose, with respect to the pharmacokinetics of 20 mg rosuvastatin administered alone.

Read the detailed description

Xadago® SmPC reports that safinamide may transiently inhibit BCRP, therefore a time interval of 5 h should be kept between dosing of safinamide and medicinal products that are BCRP substrates with a Tmax ≤ 2 h (e.g. pitavastatin, pravastatin, ciprofloxacin, methotrexate, topotecan, diclofenac or glyburide).

Following a specific request of FDA, the present interaction study in healthy male and female volunteers will be conducted in order to determine if multiple dose administration of safinamide with the BCRP substrate rosuvastatin alters the plasma exposure of rosuvastatin in vivo. Orally administered rosuvastatin, a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor, developed for the treatment of dyslipidaemia, represents a sensitive probe to assess the magnitude of BCRP inhibition. In PK trials in healthy volunteers, rosuvastatin Tmax ranged from 1.7 to 5 h after administration of 10-80 mg doses.

What is being measured

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

  1. Transporter-Mediated Interaction (TMI) between safinamide (investigational drug) and rosuvastatin (selected BCRP substrate) defined as ANOVA comparison between AUC of treatments (co-administration / rosuvastatin alone)

    Transporter-Mediated Interaction (TMI) between safinamide (investigational drug) and rosuvastatin (selected BCRP substrate) evaluated after the FDA - CDER Draft Guidance on Drug Interaction Studies of February 2012. Blood samples will be collected at different time points up to 96 h and the concentrations of rosuvastatin will be measured after single administration of a 20 mg dose with and without co-administration of multiple 100 mg doses of safinamide in a cross-over design. The Area Under the Curve (AUC), calculated with a non-compartmental method will be used as metrics for the plasma rosuvastatin extent of exposure. The parametric point estimators (PEs) for the ratios of treatments (co-administration / rosuvastatin alone) and the 90% confidence intervals will be calculated using the adjusted least squares means (LSMEANS) from an Analysis of variance (ANOVA) on rosuvastatin AUC. Presence of a TMI will be defined as an upper limit of the 90% confidence interval above 125.00.

    Measured: 96 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Transporter-Mediated Interaction (TMI) between safinamide (investigational drug) and rosuvastatin (selected BCRP substrate) defined as ANOVA comparison between Cmax of treatments (co-administration / rosuvastatin alone)

    Transporter-Mediated Interaction (TMI) between safinamide (investigational drug) and rosuvastatin (selected BCRP substrate). Blood samples will be collected at different time points up to 96 h and the concentrations of rosuvastatin will be measured after single administration of a 20 mg dose with and without co-administration of multiple 100 mg doses of safinamide in a cross-over design. The Peak Concentration (Cmax), calculated with a non-compartmental method will be used as one of the metrics for the plasma rosuvastatin rate of exposure. Secondary criteria for TMI presence will be the same as for the AUC.

    Measured: 96 hours

  2. Transporter-Mediated Interaction (TMI) between safinamide (investigational drug) and rosuvastatin (selected BCRP substrate) defined as as non-parametric comparison between Tmax of treatments (co-administration / rosuvastatin alone)

    Transporter-Mediated Interaction (TMI) between safinamide (investigational drug) and rosuvastatin (selected BCRP substrate). Blood samples will be collected at different time points up to 96 h and the concentrations of rosuvastatin will be measured after single administration of a 20 mg dose with and without co-administration of multiple 100 mg doses of safinamide in a cross-over design. The Time to the Peak Concentration (Tmax), calculated with a non-compartmental method will be used as one of the metrics for the plasma rosuvastatin rate of exposure. Secondary criteria for TMI presence interaction will be a significant p-value (i.e. >0.05) obtained from a non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test on the Tmax parameter.

    Measured: 96 hours

  3. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]

    Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate), body weight, electrocardiogram and laboratory parameters will be considered for safety and tolerability assessments.

    Measured: 96 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 100 mg safinamide, 20 mg rosuvastatin calcium period 1 and 20 mg rosuvastatin calcium period 2 in people with Healthy, run by Cross Research S.A. at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 15 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 1 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 Switzerland. 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?

Transporter-Mediated Interaction (TMI) between safinamide (investigational drug) and rosuvastatin (selected BCRP substrate) defined as ANOVA comparison between AUC of treatments (co-administration / rosuvastatin alone) (time frame: 96 hours). 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 1 Aug 2017.
