About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Crossover Study to Assess the Bioequivalence of Isavuconazole Following a Single Dose of Isavuconazonium Sulfate Intravenous Solution Via Nasogastric Tube Compared to a Single Dose of Oral Capsules Under Fasting Conditions in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bioequivalence of isavuconazole following a single dose of isavuconazonium sulfate intravenous (IV) solution via nasogastric (NG) tube (test formulation) compared to a single dose of isavuconazonium sulfate capsules for oral administration (i.e., oral capsules administered to nonintubated participants)(reference formulation). In addition, this study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of isavuconazole and the general pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of isavuconazole when administered as a single dose of isavuconazonium sulfate IV solution via NG tube (test formulation) and a single dose of isavuconazonium sulfate capsules for oral administration (i.e., oral capsules administered to nonintubated participants) (reference formulation) under fasting conditions in healthy male and female participants.

Read the detailed description

Eligible participants will participate in 2 treatment periods separated by a washout of at least 30 days between investigational product (IP) administrations in each period. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 2 sequences. Participants will be admitted to the clinical unit on day -1 of each period and will be residential for 5 days/4 nights. Participants will receive a single dose of isavuconazonium sulfate IV solution via NG tube (test formulation) or isavuconazonium sulfate capsules for oral administration (i.e., oral capsules administered to nonintubated participants) (reference formulation) under fasting conditions on day 1 of each period. Participants are to remain semirecumbent and avoid lying on either the left or right side for 4 hours postdose. Correct placement of the NG tube will be confirmed using X-ray radiography. Pharmacokinetic samples will be collected predose on day 1 of each period and at multiple time points postdose. Standard safety and tolerability assessments will be conducted. Participants will be discharged from the clinical unit on day 4 of each period on the condition that all required assessments have been performed and that there are no medical reasons for a longer stay in the clinical unit. Participants will return for ambulatory visits to collect pharmacokinetic samples on days 8, 11, 15 and 21 of each period.

The study will be completed with an end-of-study visit (ESV). The ESV will take place 5 to 9 days after day 21 of period 2 or at early discontinuation from the study.

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered an investigational product (IP), and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of IP whether or not considered related to the IP. An AE is considered "serious" if the investigator or sponsor view any of the following outcomes: Death, life-threatening, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly or birth defect, hospitalization, or medically important event. Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) is defined as any AE which starts, or worsens, after the first dose of study drug through 30 days after the last dose of study drug.

    Measured: Up to 61 days

  2. Number of participants with laboratory value abnormalities and/or adverse events

    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant laboratory values.

    Measured: Up to 32 days

  3. Number of participants with vital sign abnormalities and/or adverse events

    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant vital sign values.

    Measured: Up to 61 days

  4. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of isavuconazole in plasma: area under the concentration-time curve extrapolated from time to infinity as a percentage of total AUC (AUCinf(%extrap))

    (AUCinf(%extrap)) will be recorded from the PK plasma samples collected.

    Measured: Predose on Day 1 and up to Day 21 postdose in each period

  5. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of isavuconazole in plasma: apparent clearance (CL/F)

    CL/F will be recorded from the PK plasma samples collected.

    Measured: Predose on Day 1 and up to Day 21 postdose in each period

  6. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of isavuconazole in plasma: terminal elimination half-life (t1/2)

    t1/2 will be recorded from the PK plasma samples collected.

    Measured: Predose on Day 1 and up to Day 21 postdose in each period

  7. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of isavuconazole in plasma: time of maximum concentration (tmax)

    tmax will be recorded from the PK plasma samples collected.

    Measured: Predose on Day 1 and up to Day 21 postdose in each period

  8. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of isavuconazole in plasma: lag time (tlag)

    tlag will be recorded from the PK plasma samples collected.

    Measured: Predose on Day 1 and up to Day 21 postdose in each period

  9. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of isavuconazole in plasma: apparent volume of distribution during terminal phase after oral/intravenous administration (Vz/F)

    Vz/F will be recorded from the PK plasma samples collected.

    Measured: Predose on Day 1 and up to Day 21 postdose in each period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Isavuconazonium sulfate IV and Isavuconazonium sulfate capsules in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 24 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 20 Nov 2024. 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 United States. 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 (PK) of isavuconazole in plasma: area under the concentration-time curve from the time of dosing extrapolated to time infinity (AUCinf) (time frame: Predose on Day 1 and up to Day 21 postdose in each period). The study lists 4 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 20 Nov 2024.
