About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability Study of Single and Multiple Oral Doses of Safinamide in Healthy Adult Chinese Volunteers

This is a Phase I, single center, single and multiple-dose, open-label, randomised, parallel-group, pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability study. The subjects will be randomised into two study cohorts to receive single and multiple doses of 50 mg safinamide (cohort 1), or single and multiple doses of 100 mg safinamide (cohort 2) as follows:

Cohort 1: One safinamide 50 mg film-coated tablet will be administered on day 1 followed by 7 safinamide 50 mg film-coated tablets in total from day 8 to day 14 and hence administered 1 tablet orally from day 8 to day 14.

Cohort 2: One safinamide 100 mg film-coated tablet will be administered on day 1 followed by 7 safinamide 100 mg film-coated tablets in total from day 8 to day 14 and hence administered 1 tablet orally from day 8 to day 14.

The investigational products will be administered in the morning, at 8:00±1hour, under fasting conditions, with 240 mL (total volume) of still mineral water. A mouth-and-hand check will be performed immediately after dosing to ensure treatment compliance.

The primary endpoint will assess the pharmacokinetic parameters after single and multiple dose administration of the study drug. The secondary endpoint will provide the safety and tolerability data after single and multiple dose administration of the study drug.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Safinamide 50 mg and Safinamide 100mg in people with Healthy, run by Zambon SpA at 1 site in China.

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 15 inclusion and 13 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 17 Mar 2023. 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 China. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Mar 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Maximum Safinamide Plasma Concentration (Cmax) (time frame: Day 1 and Day 8). The study lists 24 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 17 Mar 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
