What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Area Under Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to the Last Measurable Concentration (AUC(0-t)) of Guaifenesin
Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration, as calculated by the linear trapezoidal method.
Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours
Area Under Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC(0-inf)) of Guaifenesin
Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to infinity, calculated as AUC 0-t + C last/kel, where C last is the last measurable concentration and kel is the apparent first-order terminal elimination rate constant.
Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours
Percent of AUC 0-inf Extrapolated (AUC%Extrapolated)
Percent of AUC 0-inf extrapolated, calculated as (1 - AUC 0-t / AUC 0-inf) x 100.
Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Guaifenesin
Pharmacokinetic Parameter (Cmax) Maximum observed plasma concentration.
Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours
Time to Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) of Guaifenesin
Pharmacokinetic Parameter (Tmax) Time of the maximum observed plasma concentration.
Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours
Apparent First-order Terminal Elimination Half-life (t½)
Apparent first-order terminal elimination half-life, calculated as ln(2)/kel.
Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours
Apparent First-order Terminal Elimination Rate Constant (Kel)
Apparent first-order terminal elimination rate constant calculated from a semilog plot of the plasma concentration versus time curve. The parameter was calculated by linear least-squares (LS) regression analysis using the maximum number of points (e.g., three or more non-zero plasma concentrations) in the terminal log-linear phase.
Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours
Secondary outcomes (1)
Number of Adverse Events (AEs) of Participants
Intensity determination:
Mild=AE does not limit usual activities;subject may experience slight discomfort; Moderate= AE results in some limitation of usual activities; subject may experience significant discomfort; Severe=AE results in an inability to carry out usual activities; subject may experience intolerable discomfort or pain; Unlikely=Slight but remote chance that the AE was caused by study drug but the balance of judgment is that it was most likely not due to the study drug Possible=Reasonable suspicion that the AE was caused by the study drug; Probable=Most likely that the AE was caused by study drug.
Measured: Upto Day 1

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Children's Mucinex® Grape Flavor in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Reckitt Benckiser LLC.
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 20 inclusion and 18 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 17 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 17 Jun 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 Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to the Last Measurable Concentration (AUC(0-t)) of Guaifenesin (time frame: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours). The study lists 7 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 17 Jun 2019.
