About this study

Prospective, Randomized, Crossover, Bioequivalence study

Read the detailed description

Active-control crossover study randomizing 32 healthy volunteers to receive one of two dose levels, 325 mg or 650 mg, of either PL-ASA or immediate release aspirin within a two week washout period between treatments. The primary objectives are to assess PK and PD bioequivalence and safety over a twenty four hour period for PL-ASA and immediate release aspirin at 325 mg and 650 mg dose strengths.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bioequivalence of PL-ASA and Immediate Release Aspirin AUC0-T

    Assess for bioequivalence at 325 mg and 650 mg dose levels AUC0-T of the metabolite salicylic acid

    Measured: twenty four hours

  2. Bioequivalence of PL-ASA and Immediate Release Aspirin AUC0-∞

    Assess for bioequivalence at 325 mg and 650 mg dose levels AUC0-∞ of the metabolite salicylic acid

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Bioequivalence of PL-ASA and Immediate Release Aspirin CMAX

    Assess for bioequivalence at 325 mg and 650 mg dose levels CMAX of the metabolite salicylic acid

    Measured: 24 hours

  4. Bioequivalence of PL-ASA and Immediate Release Aspirin TMAX

    Assess for bioequivalence at 325 mg and 650 mg dose levels TMAX of the metabolite salicylic acid

    Measured: 24 hours

  5. Bioequivalence of PL-ASA and Immediate Release Aspirin AUC0-24

    Assess for bioequivalence at 325 mg and 650 mg dose levels AUC0-24 of the percent inhibition of serum Thromboxane B2

    Measured: 24 hours

  6. Bioequivalence of PL-ASA and Immediate Release Aspirin TMAX STB2

    Assess for bioequivalence at 325 mg and 650 mg dose levels TMAX of the percent inhibition of serum Thromboxane B2

    Measured: 24 hours

Model description
32 subjects to be randomized to treatment with either immediate release aspirin or PL-ASA at one of two doses (325 mg or 650 mg) administered orally. After completion of the first treatment and a minimum of a two week washout period(14-17 days) subjects are to cross over and receive treatment with the alternative compound at the same dose level.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Aspirin in people with Bioequivalence, run by PLx Pharma.

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 7 inclusion and 21 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 5 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Bioequivalence of PL-ASA and Immediate Release Aspirin AUC0-T (time frame: twenty four hours). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04008979, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Jul 2019.
