About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Partially-Blind, Parallel-Group, Active and Placebo Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Single Oral Doses of Entecavir Extended Release (XR) in Healthy Subjects

This is a phase 1, randomized, parallel-group, single-center study in healthy adult subjects. The study will be conducted in two parts sequentially:

Part 1 is an open-label, two-arm, active-controlled design to evaluate the PK and safety of single oral dose of ETV XR tablet (1.5 mg) in healthy subjects. Part 1 will consist of 16 healthy subjects.

Part 2 is a double-blind, three-arm, placebo-controlled design to evaluate the PK and safety of higher oral doses of ETV XR tablet (3 mg and 6 mg) in healthy subjects. Part 2 will consist of 24 healthy subjects.

What participants receive

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

  • EntecavirDrug

    Also called placebo

    Study drug (entecavir or placebo) will be administered with 240 mL of water following an overnight fast (no food or drink, except water, for at least 10 hours). Subjects will be required to fast (no food or beverages other than water) until after collection of the 4-hour blood draw.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Entecavir in people with HBV, run by Aucta Pharmaceuticals, Inc at 1 site in Australia.

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 16 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 27 Jun 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 Australia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

To characterize the Pharmacokinetics (PK) of ETV XR tablet after single oral doses in healthy subjects. (time frame: 22 days). The study lists 5 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 27 Jun 2018.
