About this study

Official title: A Phase I Randomized Double-blind Placebo-controlled Study With 2 Separate Cohorts to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Verinurad and Allopurinol in Healthy Asian and Chinese Subjects

This is a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind study with two separate cohorts to assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of verinurad and allopurinol in healthy subjects.

In cohort 1, twelve Asian subjects will be treated with allopurinol 300mg for 7 days followed by either allopurinol 300mg and verinurad 24mg or matching placebo for 7 days.

In Cohort 2, nine Chinese subjects will be treated with allopurinol 300mg for 7 days followed by allopurinol 300mg and verinurad 12mg administered on 7 out of 8 days.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I study with 2 parallel cohorts which will be performed at a single study center.

Cohort-1 will comprise of 12 healthy Asian participants, and will follow a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design. The number of Chinese participants included in Cohort 1 must be less than 50% of the total number of participants enrolled into the cohort. Nine participants will be randomized to receive 24 mg verinurad and 300 mg allopurinol once daily for 7 days and 3 participants will be randomized to receive matching placebos once daily for 7 days. Cohort 1 participants will undergo a Screening Period of a maximum of 28 days followed by a 7-day Run-in Period during which participants will receive 300 mg allopurinol or matching placebo once daily. Participants will then be randomized before the start of the Run-in Period. The Run-in Period is intended to decrease the risk of skin toxicity of allopurinol. Participants will be admitted to the clinical unit 2-days before the treatment period, during which they will receive once daily doses of 24 mg verinurad and 300 mg allopurinol or matching placebos. Participants will be discharged from the clinical unit on Day 8, but will return for a Follow-up Visit within 7 to 14 days.

Cohort-2 will comprise of 9 healthy Chinese participants and will follow an open-label design. All 9 Chinese participants will receive 12 mg verinurad and 300 mg allopurinol on Day 1 and Day 3 to Day 9. For Cohort-2, participants will undergo a Screening Period of a maximum of 28 days followed by a 7-day Run-in Period during which participants will receive 300 mg allopurinol once daily. Participants will be admitted to the Clinical Unit on Day -2, and will receive a single dose of 12 mg verinurad and 300 mg allopurinol on Day 1. No dosing will be done on Day 2. Participants will continue dosing on Day 3 and will be dosed once daily until Day 9. Participants will be discharged from the Clinical Unit on Day 10, but will return for a Follow-up Visit within 7 to 14 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Verinurad and Allopurinol in people with Chronic Kidney Disease, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in United States.

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 12 inclusion and 14 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 13 May 2019. 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 States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 adverse events (time frame: From screening up to Follow-up visit/Early discontinuation visit (EDV) (7-14 Days Post-last PK Sample)). The study lists 14 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 13 May 2019.
