About this study

Official title: An Open-label Study Investigating the Pharmacokinetic Profile and Safety of Single Oral Dose of Budesonide Prolonged Release Tablets 9mg (Cortiment® MMX) in Healthy Indian Subjects Under Fasting Condition

Budesonide is a well-known and well-characterised locally acting glucocorticosteroid with comparable efficacy to that of conventional glucocorticosteroids, but with fewer systemic side effects due to its low bioavailability following oral administration.

There are no benefits for subjects participating in this pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and safety study. This is an open-label study to investigate the PK profile and safety of single oral dose of budesonide prolonged release tablets (9 mg, Cortiment® MMX [multi-matrix system]) in healthy subjects in Indian population.

Two study visits are planned: One out-patient visit (screening) and one residential session consisting of three consecutive nights (admission to the clinical investigation unit at least 12 hours before dosing and discharge approximately 60 hours after dosing). End-of-study assessments will be performed before discharge from the clinical investigation unit in the single dosing period. Subjects should be in the fasted state for at least 10 hours pre-dose.

Number of subjects planned in total in the study are 24 men and women, with a minimum requirement of 7 women. The safety assessments comprise of adverse events (AEs), vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) and clinical laboratory variables. Adverse events will be collected throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetics: Maximum plasma concentration observed (Cmax)

    Measured: Up to 60 hours post-dose

  2. Pharmacokinetics: Pharmacokinetic lag time (Tlag)

    Tlag is defined as the time of observation prior to the first observation with a measurable (non-zero) concentration.

    Measured: Up to 60 hours post-dose

  3. Pharmacokinetics: Time of maximum observed plasma concentration (Tmax)

    Measured: Up to 60 hours post-dose

  4. Pharmacokinetics: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero up to time t (AUCt)

    AUCt is defined as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero up to time t, where t is the last time point at which the concentration is above the lower limit of quantification (time of last measurable [non-zero] concentration [tlast]).

    Measured: Up to 60 hours post-dose

  5. Pharmacokinetics: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve to infinity (AUCinf)

    Measured: Up to 60 hours post-dose

  6. Pharmacokinetics: %Extrap AUC

    %Extrap AUC is defined as the percentage of AUC that is due to extrapolation from the last measurable concentration.

    Measured: Up to 60 hours post-dose

  7. Pharmacokinetics: Terminal half-life (t1/2)

    Measured: Up to 60 hours post-dose

  8. Pharmacokinetics: Terminal elimination rate constant (λz)

    λz is defined as the first-order rate constant associated with terminal (log-linear) portion of the plasma concentration-time curve estimated via linear regression of the time versus log concentration.

    Measured: Up to 60 hours post-dose

  9. Pharmacokinetics: Apparent total systemic clearance (CL/F)

    Measured: Up to 60 hours post-dose

  10. Pharmacokinetics: Apparent volume of distribution associated with the terminal phase (VZ/F)

    Measured: Up to 60 hours post-dose

  11. Pharmacokinetics: Mean residence time (MRT)

    Measured: Up to 60 hours post-dose

  12. Number of subjects with adverse events (AEs) and type of adverse events

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject taking part in a clinical study. Number of subjects with any AE (serious or non-serious) are presented.

    Measured: From screening (Day-28 to Day -1) up to the end-of-study (Day 3)

  13. Number of subjects with abnormal laboratory parameters

    Number of subjects with abnormal findings in laboratory parameters (biochemistry, hematology, and urine analysis) will be presented.

    Measured: From screening (Day-28 to Day -1) up to the end-of-study (Day 3)

  14. Number of subjects with abnormal vital signs

    Number of subjects with abnormal findings in vital signs will be presented.

    Measured: From screening (Day-28 to Day -1) up to the end-of-study (Day 3)

  15. Number of subjects with abnormal changes in ECG

    Number of subjects with abnormal findings in ECG will be presented.

    Measured: From screening (Day-28 to Day -1) up to the end-of-study (Day 3)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Budesonide in people with Healthy, run by Ferring Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in India.

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 12 inclusion and 25 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 21 Oct 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 India. 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?

Pharmacokinetics: Maximum plasma concentration observed (Cmax) (time frame: Up to 60 hours post-dose). The study lists 15 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 21 Oct 2019.
