About this study

Official title: A Phase 4 Open-label, Non-randomized Study Evaluating the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of TRULANCE® (Plecanatide) in Breast Milk of Lactating Women Treated With TRULANCE

This is a multi-center, open-label study evaluating pharmacokinetics of TRULANCE® (plecanatide) in breast milk of lactating women treated with TRULANCE

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label study in lactating women who have been prescribed TRULANCE® by their healthcare provider. The study will assess the pharmacokinetics of plecanatide and its active metabolite in breast milk of lactating women treated therapeutically with TRULANCE. Subjects will be screened prior to admission for Baseline assessments. Following final qualifications, the morning dose of TRULANCE will be administered under supervision from study personnel and serial samples of breast milk will be collected via breast pump.

Being tested
Plecanatide

What participants receive

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

  • PlecanatideDrug

    Also called TRULANCE®

    Subjects will have been breastfeeding or pumping for at least 4 weeks and must have been prescribed and taking TRULANCE® for at least 14 continuous days prior to Baseline. Breast milk for measurement of TRULANCE® (plecanatide) concentrations will be collected at Day 1.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cmax,ss of TRULANCE (plecanatid) and its active metabolite in breast milk

    Maximum observed concentration of TRULANCE (plecanatide) in breast milk during a dosing interval at steady state

    Measured: Day 1 (pre-dose [1 hour before dosing], at 2, 6 and 12 hours post-dose)

  2. Cavg,ss of TRULANCE (plecanatide) and its active metabolite in breast milk

    Average concentration of TRULANCE (plecanatide) in breast milk at steady state

    Measured: Day 1 (pre-dose [1 hour before dosing], at 2, 6 and 12 hours post-dose)

  3. AUCτ,ss of TRULANCE (plecanatide) and its active metabolite in breast milk

    Area under the concentration-time curve during a dosing interval at steady state interval at steady state

    Measured: Day 1 (pre-dose [1 hour before dosing], at 2, 6 and 12 hours post-dose)

  4. Aτ,ss of TRULANCE (plecanatide) and its active metabolite in breast milk

    Amount (of unchanged drug) excreted into the milk during a dosing interval at steady state a dosing interval (τ) at steady state

    Measured: Day 1 (pre-dose [1 hour before dosing], at 2, 6 and 12 hours post-dose)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Idiopathic Constipation, run by Bausch Health Americas, Inc. at 3 sites in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 22 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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.

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?

Cmax,ss of TRULANCE (plecanatid) and its active metabolite in breast milk (time frame: Day 1 (pre-dose [1 hour before dosing], at 2, 6 and 12 hours post-dose)). The study lists 4 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 22 Nov 2019.
