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

    Maximum measured analyte concentration over the sampling period.

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)

  2. Area Under Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to the Last Measurable Plasma Concentration (AUCt) of Guaifenesin

    The area under the analyte concentration versus time curve, from time zero (0) to the time of the last measurable analyte concentration (t), as calculated by the linear trapezoidal method.

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Time to Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Guaifenesin

    Time of the maximum measured analyte concentration over the sampling period.

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)

  2. Area Under Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUCinf) of Guaifenesin

    The area under the analyte concentration versus time curve from time zero to infinity.

    AUCinf = AUCt + Cp/Kel,

    where Cp is the predicted analyte concentration at the time of the last measurable analyte concentration.

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)

  3. Terminal Elimination Rate Constant (Kel) of Guaifenesin

    Elimination rate constant calculated from the slope of the terminal portion of the plasma profile calculated by least-squares regression of log (concentration) versus time.

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)

  4. Terminal Elimination Half-life (T½) of Guaifenesin

    Terminal elimination half-life, calculated from the equation: thalf = In(2)/Kel.

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)

  5. Relative Bioavailability (RF) of Guaifenesin

    Relative bioavailability for each formulation will be defined as:

    (AUC0-inf Fasting ÷ AUC0-inf Fed) x (Fed dose ÷ Fasting dose)

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)

  6. Number of Adverse Events(AEs) Experienced by 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 Unassessable/Unclassifiable=Insufficient information to be able to make an assessment Conditional/Unclassified=Insufficient information to make an assessment at present(causality is conditional on additional information) Unrelated=No possibility that the AE was caused by 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 Possible=Reasonable suspicion that the AE was caused by the study drug Probable=Most likely that the AE was caused by study drug Certain=The AE was definitely caused by study drug

    Measured: Up to period 2 (8.3 days/200 hours)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Mucinex® 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 17 inclusion and 27 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 27 Mar 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 22 Feb 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), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)). The study lists 2 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 27 Mar 2019.
