About this study
Official title: A Phase 1 Study to Examine Pharmacodynamic Interaction Between Tesofensine and Metoprolol on 24-hours Mean Heart Rate
A Phase 1 Study to Examine Pharmacodynamic Interaction Between Tesofensine and Metoprolol on 24-hours Mean Heart Rate
Read the detailed description
In this study, the dose-response relationship between tesofensine and metoprolol will be examined and thus the optimal dose of metoprolol to mitigate the effects of tesofensine on heart rate (HR) will be determined. HR is the primary endpoint because in the previous studies it has been shown to be the most affected safety endpoint by the effects of tesofensine.
After enrolment of 37 subjects, 2 Subjects (0115 and 0147) in dose cohort 2 experienced prolonged tachycardia (> 120 beats per minute (bpm) lasting for 30 min) documented in Holter Electrocardiogram (ECG) recording (a stopping criteria of the study). Therefore, the study was temporarily halted on 22 November 2018. Subsequent to the temporary halt, Saniona reviewed all the available data in January and February 2019 and determined that the results obtained from the completed participants were sufficiently robust to answer the questions for which the trial was designed. Therefore, Saniona decided to permanently end the trial on 20 February 2019.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Dose of Metoprolol Resulting in no Change in Mean Heart Rate Over 24 Hours (M24HR)
The dose of metoprolol which resulted in no change relative to baseline in mean heart rate over 24 hours (M24HR) for each respective dose of tesofensine was calculated from a dose response relationship with the log-dose of metoprolol as independent variable and change in M24HR induced by various doses of metoprolol given to subjects on steady-state dose of tesofensine as the dependent variable. The dose for no change in M24HR derived from above calculation and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) is presented for each dose of tesofensine. The result in this endpoint is not an arithmetic mean, but the model derived estimated dose from the model. Mitigating dose was estimated using a linear regression modelling mean change from pre-tesofensine baseline (Day -1) of M24HR as a function of the log metoprolol dose.

Primary outcome
Dose of Metoprolol Resulting in no Change in Mean Heart Rate Over 24 Hours (M24HR)
Time frame: Day -1 to Day 23
The dose of metoprolol which resulted in no change relative to baseline in mean heart rate over 24 hours (M24HR) for each respective dose of tesofensine was calculated from a dose response relationship with the log-dose of metoprolol as independent variable and change in M24HR induced by various doses of metoprolol given to subjects on steady-state dose of tesofensine as the dependent variable. The dose for no change in M24HR derived from above calculation and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) is presented for each dose of tesofensine. The result in this endpoint is not an arithmetic mean, but the model derived estimated dose from the model. Mitigating dose was estimated using a linear regression modelling mean change from pre-tesofensine baseline (Day -1) of M24HR as a function of the log metoprolol dose.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Metoprolol Succinate 25 MG, Metoprolol Succinate 50 MG and Metoprolol Succinate 100 MG in people with Phase 1, run by Saniona 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 7 inclusion and 35 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 9 Feb 2024. 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 9 Feb 2024). 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?
Dose of Metoprolol Resulting in no Change in Mean Heart Rate Over 24 Hours (M24HR) (time frame: Day -1 to Day 23). 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 9 Feb 2024.
