About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study to Determine the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Danicopan After Administration as an Oral Tablet in the Fed and Fasted States in Participants of Japanese Descent

This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of danicopan after a single-dose oral administration under fed and fasting conditions to participants of Japanese descent.

Read the detailed description

This will be an open-label, randomized, single-dose, 3-period, 3-treatment crossover study in participants of Japanese descent.

On Day 1 of each period, participants will receive a single oral dose of 200 milligrams (mg) danicopan under fasting conditions, 200 mg danicopan under fed conditions, or 400 mg danicopan under fed conditions. Participants will receive each treatment once, according to the randomization schedule. There will be a washout period of at least 7 days between each dose of study intervention.

Safety will be assessed throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number Of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Measured: Day 1 (after first dose) through safety follow-up (10 +/- 2 days after last dose)

  2. Area Under The Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) Of Danicopan In Both Fed And Fasted States

    Measured: up to 72 hours postdose

  3. Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) Of Danicopan In Both Fed And Fasted States

    Measured: up to 72 hours postdose

  4. Time To Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) Of Danicopan In Both Fed And Fasted States

    Measured: up to 72 hours postdose

  5. Dose Proportionality Of Danicopan In Fed State Assessed by AUC

    Measured: up to 72 hours postdose

  6. Dose Proportionality Of Danicopan In Fed State Assessed by Cmax

    Measured: up to 72 hours postdose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Activity Of Danicopan As Measured By Alternative Pathway Wieslab Assay

    Blood samples will be collected for measurement of danicopan activity.

    Measured: up to 72 hours postdose

  2. Complement Factor B Fraction b Levels

    Blood samples will be collected for measurement of complement factor B fraction b levels.

    Measured: up to 72 hours postdose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Danicopan in people with Healthy, run by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1 site in Australia.

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 6 inclusion and 18 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 15 Feb 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 Australia. 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?

Number Of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (time frame: Day 1 (after first dose) through safety follow-up (10 +/- 2 days after last dose)). 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 15 Feb 2021.
