About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-Label, Randomised, Three-Period, Three-Sequence, Partial Replicate Crossover Study to Investigate the Relative Bioavailability and Bioequivalence of Opicapone Obtained From Two Different Sources, Under Fasting Conditions After Single-dose Administration in Healthy Subjects

the purpose assess the relative bioavailability and bioequivalence of two active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) sources of opicapone (OPC, Ongentys® and BIA 9-1067) following single 50 mg dose administration under fasting conditions in healthy volunteers

Read the detailed description

This will be a Phase I, open label, randomized, partial-replicate, three-period, three-sequence crossover study to investigate the relative bioavailability and bioequivalence of 2 API sources of OPC (BIA 9-1067 [Test] and Ongentys® [Reference]) in healthy adult subjects.

Subjects will be randomized in a 3-period, 3-sequence crossover design; each subject will receive 2 single oral 50 mg doses of the Reference API source of OPC, and a single 50 mg dose of the Test API source of OPC under fasting conditions.

Potential subjects will be screened to assess their eligibility to enter the study within 28 days prior to the first dose administration. Subjects will be admitted into the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) on Day 1 and be confined to the CRU until discharge on Day 3. There will be a washout period of at least 14 days between each dose. A follow-up visit will be performed 7 to 14 days after dosing in the last treatment period or early discontinuation.

What is being measured

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

  1. area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0 ∞)

    PK parameters from Blood samples to be be collected for the analysis of plasma concentrations of opicapone.

    Measured: Day 1 up to day 14

  2. area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last observable concentration at time t (AUC0 t)

    PK parameters from Blood samples to be be collected for the analysis of plasma concentrations of opicapone.

    Measured: Day 1 up to day 14

  3. maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax)

    PK parameters from Blood samples to be be collected for the analysis of plasma concentrations of opicapone.

    Measured: Day 1 up to day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ongentys and BIA 9-1067 (test) in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Bial - Portela C S.A. at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 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 31 Dec 2020. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0 ∞) (time frame: Day 1 up to day 14). The study lists 3 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 31 Dec 2020.
