About this study

The objective of this study is to establish the bioequivalence of two valproic acid formulations through the estimation of valproic acid in plasma samples, according to Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), World Health Organization (WHO) and Colombian National Vigilance Institute for Drugs and Food (INVIMA) guidelines.

Read the detailed description

This will be a single-center, open-label, four-period, two-treatment, two-sequence, randomized, single-dose, crossover study. 30 healthy adults will be randomized to receive a single dose (500 mg) of the test formulation of valproic acid and reference formulation of valproic acid separately in each treatment period. There will be two treatment sequences (AB, BA) and a 7 day washout between the two treatment periods.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Valproic Acid 500 MG and Valcote 500 mg in people with Healthy, run by Tecnoquimicas at 1 site in Colombia.

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 6 inclusion and 11 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 16 Apr 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 Colombia. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

(AUC) Area Under the Curve 0-48 (time frame: From 0 to 48 hours). 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 16 Apr 2019.
