About this study

Official title: Interventional, Open-label, Sequential-period Study Investigating the Pharmacokinetic Properties and Safety and Tolerability of Sublingual Formulations of Vortioxetine in Healthy Subjects

This study investigates formulations of vortioxetine applied under the tongue

Read the detailed description

Apart from the first two doses, the study design is flexible in terms of doses and pharmaceutical formulations and will be decided upon based on an evaluation of the safety and tolerability as well as plasma exposure obtained during the study.

  • The study consists of 5 periods. Single-doses of vortioxetine will be administered in all periods.
  • All subjects will receive the same pharmaceutical formulations of the same dose strength in the same period and sequence.
  • In Period 1, each subject will receive an intravenous (IV) 10 mg dose of vortioxetine infused over 2 hours. The exposure obtained after IV administration will serve as the reference for the sublingually administered dosage forms.
  • In Period 2, each subject will receive 5 mg of formulation A (SLA) of vortioxetine in a sublingual (SL) formulation with a holding time of 90 seconds. The holding time is the time where swallowing of saliva should be avoided.
  • For the 3 remaining dosing periods, one or more of the following options in pharmaceutical formulation, dose, and dosing condition apply to this study:
  • Increases or decreases in dose (≤25mg) using same formulation
  • Change from formulation SLA to formulation SLB
  • Change in the holding time
  • Change to formulation SLC
  • Change in swallowing technique of the sublingual dosage forms

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. absolute bioavailability (F)

    absolute bioavailability of vortioxetine for the sublingual administrations

    Measured: From predose to 72 hours post dose

  2. tmax

    time to maximum plasma concentration (tmax)

    Measured: From predose to 72 hours post dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Vortioxetine IV, Vortioxetine SLA and Vortioxetine SLB in people with Healthy, run by H. Lundbeck A/S 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 1 Aug 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 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?

absolute bioavailability (F) (time frame: From predose to 72 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 1 Aug 2019.
