About this study
Official title: Phase I, Single-center, Multiple Dose, Dose Escalation Study (Within Dose-group Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, 2-way Cross-over) to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of GRT9906 Prolonged Release Tablets in Healthy Male and Female Subjects
The safety and tolerability of multiple oral administrations of GRT9906 at different doses was investigated in this clinical study. The prolonged-release tablets slowly release the active compound in the intestine. In addition, absorption into the body, distribution, metabolization and excretion of GRT9906 was characterized. Pharmacological effects of GRT9906 in healthy participants was assessed using pupillometry (diameter and reactions of the pupil) and a Cold Pressor Test where pain is measured while hands are placed in icy water for two minutes.
Read the detailed description
The primary objective of the study was to investigate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of GRT9906 after multiple oral dose administration of prolonged-release (PR) tablets to healthy male and female participants
Secondary objectives were:
- To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (serum and urine) of escalating doses of GRT9906 after multiple oral dose administration of PR tablets and
- To assess the pharmacodynamic effects of escalating doses of GRT9906 by means of pupillometry and Cold Pressor Test after multiple oral dose administration of PR tablets.
The doses of GRT9906 in this study were 80, 120, 160, and 200 milligrams (mg) twice daily in dose groups 1-4.
Participants were screened within 28 days prior to the first dosing. Treatment periods consisted of 5.6 (first dose group) or 6.6 (second and subsequent dose groups) days:
- Day 0 was the day prior to first dosing
- Day T was the titration day (day before Day M1; not applicable for the 80 mg dose group)
- Days M1 to M4 were the days with repeated dosing
- Days F1 and F2 were the follow-up days (24 hours and 48 hours after the last drug administration)
- A final examination was performed within 4 to 14 days after last dosing.

Changes in static and dynamic pupillometry parameters: initial pupil diameter and amplitude
Static and dynamic pupillometry was performed to assess dose-related decreases in pupillary size and the velocity of reaction to a light stimulus. All assessments were conducted in an invariably darkened room. Initial pupil diameter (mm) and amplitude of constriction (mm) were determined.
Measured: On Days T/M1 and M4 (-1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 hours after morning dose); on Day F1 (i.e., 24 hours after last dosing on Day M4)
Changes in static and dynamic pupillometry parameters: latency and constriction time
Static and dynamic pupillometry was performed to assess dose-related decreases in pupillary size and the velocity of reaction to a light stimulus. All assessments were conducted in an invariably darkened room. Onset latency of myosis (milliseconds) and constriction time (milliseconds) were determined.
Measured: On Days T/M1 and M4 (-1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 hours after morning dose); on Day F1 (i.e., 24 hours after last dosing on Day M4)
Changes in the area under the pain-time curve (AUCcpt) using the Cold Pressor Test
The participant's dominant hand is immersed into a 1-3 degrees Celsius circulating water quench for 2 minutes. Pain intensity is documented on a visual analogue scale (from "no pain" to "maximum pain") on a computer screen facing the participant, using the arrow keys on the keyboard. The participant moves the pointer across the line to rate their feelings at the time. The AUCcpt was assessed after IMP administration; changes to baseline (before dosing) were calculated.
Measured: On Day M3 (before dosing and 2, 4 and 8 hours after the morning dose)

The prolonged-release tablets slowly release the active compound in the intestine. In addition, absorption into the body, distribution, metabolization and excretion of GRT9906 was characterized. Pharmacological effects of GRT9906 in healthy participants was assessed using pupillometry (diameter and reactions of the pupil) and a Cold Pressor Test where pain is measured while hands are placed in icy water for two minutes.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing GRT9906 PR tablet in people with Pharmacokinetics, 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 8 inclusion and 23 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 14 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?
Number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events (time frame: From Day M1/T (first dose) to Day F2 (5.6 or 6.6 days after first dose)). 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 14 Dec 2018.
