About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, 3 Period, Randomized 2-Sequence Study to Evaluate the Effect of Food and Rabeprazole, a Proton Pump Inhibitor, on the Pharmacokinetics of Fruquintinib in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this is to evaluate the effect of food and the effect of a proton pump inhibitor (rabeprazole) on the pharmacokinetics of fruquintinib.

Read the detailed description

This study will be a single center, open label, 3-period, randomized 2-sequence study conducted with 14 healthy male or female subjects. The study will consist of a Screening Phase (Screening and Day -1), a Treatment Phase (Periods 1, 2, and 3), and an End of Study (EOS) Phase. For Periods 1 and 2, subjects will be randomized into 1 of the 2 treatment sequences, with all subjects then moving to the same treatment in Period 3.

Periods 1 and 2: 14 subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of 2 possible treatment sequences:

  • Fed/Fasted: fruquintinib 5 mg with food on Day 1 and fruquintinib 5 mg without food on Day 15
  • Fasting/Fed: fruquintinib 5 mg without food on Day 1 and fruquintinib 5 mg with food on Day 15

Period 3: all subjects will take rabeprazole 40 mg orally once daily in the morning from Day 23 to Day 29. On the morning of Day 29, all subjects will take rabeprazole 40 mg orally without food one hour before taking a fruquintinib 5 mg oral dose. Subjects will continue to fast until lunch.

What is being measured

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

  1. AUC(0-t) of fruquintinib: area under the plasma-concentration time curve from time 0 to time of the last measurable concentration

    Pharmacokinetics of fruquintinib by assessment of area under the plasma concentration time curve from zero to the last measurable concentration

    Measured: Up to 36 days

  2. AUC(0-inf) of fruquintinib

    Pharmacokinetics of fruquintinib by assessment of area under the plasma concentration curve from zero extrapolated to infinity (if data permit)

    Measured: up to 36 days

  3. Cmax of fruquintinib

    Pharmacokinetics of fruquintinib by assessment of maximum plasma fruquintinib concentration

    Measured: up to 36 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0

    To evaluate the safety, in healthy subjects, of a single dose of 5 mg fruquintinib administered fed or fasted and with rabeprazole

    Measured: up to 36 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing fruquintinib with food/fruquintinib without food/fruquintinib with rabeprazole and fruquintinib without food/fruquintinib with food/fruquintinib with rabeprazole in people with Drug Interaction and Food-drug Interaction, run by Hutchison Medipharma Limited 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 4 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 18 Jun 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 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?

AUC(0-t) of fruquintinib: area under the plasma-concentration time curve from time 0 to time of the last measurable concentration (time frame: Up to 36 days). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04645940, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Jun 2021.
