About this study

Official title: Phase I, Single-center Study to Explore the Relative Bioavailability and the Effect of Food on the Bioavailability of Prolonged Release Tablets Compared to Immediate Release Capsules Each Containing 60 mg of GRTA9906 in 20 Healthy Female Volunteers

The aim of this clinical study in healthy women is to explore the intestinal uptake (bioavailability) of two different tablets of GRTA9906 (formulations) into the body and the effect of food on it. The intake of food may considerably influence the bioavailability, either by interaction with the compound itself or, if a prolonged release (PR) formulation is used, with the components of the tablet-matrix. For these reasons, the relative bioavailability and the effect of food on the bioavailability of GRTA9906 given as PR tablets compared to immediate release (IR) capsules will be assessed in this study.

During the 4 periods of the study, each participant will receive two 60 mg GRTA9906 PR matrix tablets and two 60 mg GRTA9906 IR capsules under fed conditions (after consumption of a high-fat and high-calorie test meal) and fasting conditions (10 hours before dosing until 4.5 hours after dosing). In each period, the participant will receive the investigational product once.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GRTA9906 60 mg PR tablet and GRTA9906 60 mg IR capsule in people with Pain and Neuropathic Pain, run by Grünenthal GmbH at 1 site in Germany.

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 10 inclusion and 17 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 5 Dec 2018. 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 Germany. 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 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?

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?

Pharmacokinetic parameter - AUC0-tz (time frame: pre-dose, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13, 16, 20, and 23 hours post-dose). The study lists 10 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 5 Dec 2018.
