About this study

Official title: A PHASE IV, SINGLE-DOSE, OPEN-LABEL, RANDOMIZED, 2-WAY CROSSOVER STUDY TO DETERMINE THE RELATIVE BIOAVAILABILITY OF ZOLOFT (REGISTERED) ORAL SOLUTION (20 MG/ML; FARMASIERRA MANUFACTURING, S.L.) COMPARED TO ZOLOFT (REGISTERED) TABLETS (50 MG; WYETH INDÚSTRIA FARMACÊUTICA LTDA.) IN HEALTHY RESEARCH SUBJECTS UNDER FASTED CONDITIONS

In Brazil, sertraline is currently available as film coated tablets for oral administration containing sertraline hydrochloride equivalent to 50 mg or 100 mg sertraline.

The sponsor has developed an oral solution formulation containing 20 mg/mL of sertraline, which must be diluted with 120 mL of water, ginger ale, lime/lemon soda or orange juice to be palatable before use. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relative bioavailability of Zoloft oral solution compared to Zoloft tablets in healthy participants under fasted conditions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Zoloft Oral Solution and Zoloft tablets in people with Healthy, run by Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc. at 1 site in Brazil.

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 25 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 Jan 2021. 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 Brazil. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Area under the sertraline plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last time point (AUClast) (time frame: Predose (0 h), at 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours post dose). 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 Jan 2021.
