About this study

Official title: The Effect of Potent Inhibitors of Drug Transporters (Verapamil, Rifampin, Cimetidine, Probenecid) on Pharmacokinetics of a Transporter Probe Drug Cocktail Consisting of Digoxin, Furosemide, Metformin and Rosuvastatin (an Open-label, Randomised, Crossover Trial in Three Parts)

The primary objective of this trial is to investigate the relative bioavailabilities of digoxin, furosemide, metformin and rosuvastatin given as a cocktail alone and as a cocktail together with the following drug transporter inhibitors:

Part 1: verapamil (P-gp) and rifampin (OATP1B1/1B3) Part 2: cimetidine (OCT2/MATE) Part 3: probenecid (OAT1/3) The secondary objective is to investigate other potential changes in pharmacokinetics (e.g. in clearance, volume of distribution, etc.) of digoxin, furosemide, metformin and rosuvastatin given as a cocktail alone and as a cocktail together with the inhibitors describe above.

No: Clinical studies sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, phases I to IV, interventional and non-interventional, are in scope for sharing of the raw clinical study data and clinical study documents. Exceptions might apply, e.g. studies in products where Boehringer Ingelheim is not the license holder; studies regarding pharmaceutical formulations and associated analytical methods, and studies pertinent to pharmacokinetics using human biomaterials; studies conducted in a single center or targeting rare diseases (in case of low number of patients and therefore limitations with anonymization).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Digoxin, Furosemide and Metformin in people with Healthy, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 1 site in Germany.

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 30 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 7 Nov 2023. 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 Germany. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jul 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of the Analyte in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz) (Verapamil + R1 (T1) vs. R1) (time frame: Samples were taken within 0:20 hour:minutes (hh:mm) prior to first study drug administration and at 0:20, 0:40, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 4:00, 5:00, 6:00, 8:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 24:00, 36:00, 47:00, 71:00 and 95:00 after drug administration.). The study lists 8 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 7 Nov 2023.
