About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open Label, Randomized, Three-Period, Crossover, Single Dose Oral Administration Of Andrographis Paniculata And Metformin Clinical Trial In Healthy Volunteers Under Fasting Condition

This study is a phase 1, open label, randomized, three-way crossover, single dose, oral- administration of Andrographis paniculata and Metformin in healthy volunteers under fasting condition. The study will demonstrate the pharmacokinetics profile and pharmacodynamic through metabolic pathway analysis for Andrographis paniculata and Metformin.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 1, open label, randomized, three period, crossover, single dose oral administration of Andrographis Paniculata 1000mg, 2000mg and Metformin 1000mg clinical trial in healthy volunteers under fasting condition. Approximately 18 healthy volunteers will be enrolled into this study.

The healthy volunteers will be screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eligible subjects will be enrolled into either Metformin 1000mg tablet, Andrographis Paniculata 1000mg or 2000mg capsule in a ratio of 1:1:1 in period 1 for single dose oral administration. Subjects will then undergo a washout period of at least 7 days. After the washout period, subjects will crossover over to another investigational product according to the randomization sequence.

Subjects will fast overnight prior to dosing. The volunteers will be admitted to Clinical Investigation Center ward at 7 am in the morning and will confine in air-conditioning environment with beds and chairs. The means during the stay at CIC ward will be provided to the subjects. The dosing will be performed at 8am. A series of plasma will be collected at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours post-dose. Urine samples will be collected at 0, 0-4 hours, 4-8 hours and 8-12 hours.

A safety follow-up call will be made to subjects to record any adverse events that occurred post-dosing within 1 week.

    Maximum plasma concentration of Andrographis paniculata after single dose oral administration.

    Measured: 0-24 hours

  3. Tmax of Andrographis paniculata

    Time until Cmax of Andrographis paniculata is reached after single dose oral administration.

    Measured: 0-24 hours

  4. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of Metformin

    Area under the plasma concentration curve of Metformin from administration to 24 hours

    Measured: 0-24 hours

  5. Cmax of Metformin

    Maximum plasma concentration of Metformin after single dose oral administration.

    Measured: 0-24 hours

  6. Tmax of Metformin

    Time until Cmax of Metformin is reached after single dose oral administration.

    Measured: 0-24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Metabolic pathway of Andrographis paniculata

    Pre-dose and post-dose samples will be analysed using LCMSMS. Normalization, log-transformation and center scaling will then apply to batches of chromatograms. Global metabolomics analyses will be performed to identify significant endogenous metabolites between post-dose and pre-dose samples using T-Test, Principal Component Analysis, Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis. Annotations of significant compounds will be perform using METLIN database. The significant compounds will lead to prediction of relevant metabolomic pathway from Human Metabolome Database/ Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome pathway for Andrographis paniculata.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Metabolic pathway of Metformin

    Pre-dose and post-dose samples will be analysed using LCMSMS. Normalization, log-transformation and center scaling will then apply to batches of chromatograms. Global metabolomics analyses will be performed to identify significant endogenous metabolites between post-dose and pre-dose samples using T-Test, Principal Component Analysis, Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis. Annotations of significant compounds will be perform using METLIN database. The significant compounds will lead to prediction of relevant metabolomic pathway from Human Metabolome Database/ Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome pathway for Metformin.

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Adverse drug reaction

    Number of subjects with adverse drug reaction

    Measured: 3 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Brand name: Andrographis paniculata (Shine Hempedu Bumi) 1000mg capsules, Brand name: Andrographis paniculata (Shine Hempedu Bumi) 2000mg and Metformin (Glucophage) 1000mg in people with Pharmacokinetics and Molecular Mechanisms of Pharmacological Action, run by University of Malaya at 1 site in Malaysia.

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 5 inclusion and 17 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Dec 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 Malaysia. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Krisna Veni Balakrishnan (60379494932, krisna.veni@ummc.edu.my), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of Andrographis paniculata (time frame: 0-24 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?
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 26 Dec 2019.
