About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Single Dose, 5-period, 5-treatment, Crossover Study to Assess the Relative Bioavailability of 4 Different Formulations of Verinurad and Allopurinol in Healthy Subjects

This study is a single centre, randomised, open-label, single-dose, 5-period, 5-treatment, crossover study in healthy male and female subjects. This study is intended to assess the relative bioavailability between the fixed dose combination (FDC, i.e. verinurad/allopurinol FDC capsule 12/300 mg) and free combination formulations of verinurad (i.e. verinurad prolonged release Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose [HPMC] capsule 12 mg) and allopurinol (i.e. allopurinol table 300 mg) in fasted and fed conditions. The study will also assess the relative bioavailability between a formulation only containing verinurad (i.e. verinurad prolonged release gelatin capsule 12 mg) and the FDC capsule.

Read the detailed description

The study comprises of:

  • A Screening Period of maximum 28 days;
  • Five treatment periods during which subjects will be resident from the morning of Day -2 until at least 72 hours after dosing in Treatment Period 5; discharged on the morning of Day 4 of Treatment Period 5; and
  • A Follow-up Visit 7 to 14 days after the last dosing.

Each subject will receive 5 single dose treatments of verinurad and allopurinol or verinurad alone and subject will be involved in the study for 52 to 59 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Verinurad prolonged release HPMC capsule, Allopurinol Tablet and Verinurad/Allopurinol FDC Capsule in people with Chronic Kidney Disease, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in Germany.

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 9 inclusion and 41 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 10 May 2023. 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 Germany. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 May 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

AUCinf: Area Under Plasma Concentration-time Curve From 0 to Infinity in Fasted Condition (time frame: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4 of each Treatment Period). The study lists 3 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 10 May 2023.
