About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Single-dose, Single Period Study to Assess the Mass Balance Recovery, Metabolite Profile and Metabolite Identification of 14C-Acoziborole

This is a single centre, open-label, single group, non-randomised, single oral dose study in healthy male subjects designed to assess the mass balance recovery, PK, metabolite profile and metabolite identification, and exploratory pharmacodynamics of acoziborole. It is planned to enrol 6 subjects.

All subjects will receive an oral dose of 960 mg [14C] acoziborole on a single occasion as 4 capsules containing a small amount of radioactivity (not more than [NMT] 1000 nCi [37 KBq] 14C).

Read the detailed description

The present study aims to further understand and quantify the absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) of acoziborole in humans through the assessment of the mass balance recovery after a single oral dose of [14C]-acoziborole. The routes and rates of elimination of [14C]-acoziborole will be determined and plasma, urine and faecal samples will be used for metabolic profiling and structural identification.

Subjects will be screened for inclusion in the study up to 28 days before dosing. Subjects will be admitted in the evening on the day before dosing (Day 1).

Subjects will be dosed on the morning of Day 1 following an overnight fast of a minimum of 9 h, and will remain resident in the clinic until up to 240 h after dosing (up to Day 11). Subjects will return to the clinical unit for 5 additional 48 h collection periods, admitting to the clinical unit the evening before the collection period. The additional collection periods will be on Days 14 to 17, 28 to 31, 58 to 61, 88 to 91 and 118 to 121. A follow up call will take place 5 to 10 days post-final discharge to ensure the ongoing wellbeing of subjects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing [14C]-acoziborole capsule, 240 mg containing NMT 9.25 kBq (250 nCi) 14C in people with Trypanosomiases, African, run by Drugs for Neglected Diseases at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 11 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 27 Apr 2021. 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 Kingdom. 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?

total radioactivity in urines and feces (time frame: 121 days). 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 27 Apr 2021.
