What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Guaifenesin

    Pharmacokinetic Parameter (Cmax) Maximum observed plasma concentration.

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 4.75, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 8.75, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 and 24 hours (post-dose) on Day 1 and 2

  2. 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), 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 4.75, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 8.75, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 and 24 hours (post-dose) on Day 1 and 2

  3. 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), 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 4.75, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 8.75, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 and 24 hours (post-dose) on Day 1 and 2

  4. Time to Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) of Guaifenesin

    Pharmacokinetic Parameter (Tmax) Time of the maximum observed plasma concentration.

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 4.75, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 8.75, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 and 24 hours (post-dose) on Day 1 and 2

  5. Area Under Plasma Concentration Curve Ratio (AUCR) of Guaifenesin

    Pharmacokinetic Parameter AUCR is the ratio of AUC(0-t) to AUC(0-inf). AUCR = AUC(0-t) / AUC(0-inf)

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 4.75, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 8.75, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 and 24 hours (post-dose) on Day 1 and 2

  6. Apparent Terminal Elimination Rate Constant (Kel) of Guaifenesin

    Apparent first-order terminal elimination rate constant calculated from a semi-log 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. 3 or more non-zero plasma concentrations) in the terminal log-linear phase.

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 4.75, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 8.75, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 and 24 hours (post-dose) on Day 1 and 2

  7. Apparent Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2) of Guaifenesin

    Apparent first-order terminal elimination half-life, calculated as ln(2)/kel.

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 4.75, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 8.75, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 and 24 hours (post-dose) on Day 1 and 2

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Adverse Events (AE) of Participants

    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; Probable = Most likely that the AE was caused by study drug; Possible = Reasonable suspicion that the AE was caused by the study drug; 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.

    Measured: Upto Day 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Mucinex® SE and Vicks Cough Syrup for Chesty Coughs in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Reckitt Benckiser Inc..

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 14 inclusion and 10 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 19 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 19 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?

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Guaifenesin (time frame: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 4.75, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 8.75, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 and 24 hours (post-dose) on Day 1 and 2). 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 19 Jun 2019.
