About this study

Official title: Phase 1, Open-label Study, in Healthy Male Volunteers to Evaluate the Potential Effect of Indomethacin on the Pharmacokinetics Parameters of Elafibranor

The enzyme responsible for the conversion of elafibranor into its active metabolite, GFT1007, has not been formally identified, but it is believed to have similar characteristics to an α,β-ketoalkene reductase previously identified in rat liver cytosol. In vitro studies in human liver cytosol fractions have shown that indomethacin inhibits the enzyme responsible of the transformation of elafibranor into GFT1007. As a result, indomethacin was included in the list of prohibited co-medications in all clinical trials with elafibranor, and a formal Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI) clinical study is being conducted to elucidate the effect of indomethacin on elafibranor pharmacokinetics.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing elafibranor and CHRONO-INDOCID in people with Drug-drug Interaction, run by Genfit at 1 site in France.

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 9 inclusion and 22 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 Aug 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 France. 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?

Plasma pharmacokinetics: Area under curve from dosing time to infinity (AUC(0-∞)) (time frame: Pre-dose and at 0.17, 0.33, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 192 and 216 hours post-dose (336 and 384 hours post-dose added in sequence 2)). 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 13 Aug 2020.
