About this study

Official title: Phase I Open Label, Drug-Drug Interaction, Study to Evaluate the Effect of Itraconazole and Phenytoin on the Pharmacokinetics of ASC41 in Healthy Volunteers and A Study to Evaluate the PK, Safety and Tolerability in Subjects With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of itraconazole, a strong inhibitor)of cytochrome P4503A , and phenytoin a strong inducer of cytochrome P450 3A, CYP3A4, CYP1A2 and CYP2C19 on the pharmacokinetics of ASC41, a THR beta agonist tables in healthy subjects. The PK, Safety and Tolerability of ASC 41 in Subjects with NAFLD will also be evaluated. Approximately 24 subjects including 16 healthy volunteers (HVs) and 8 subjects with NAFLD will be enrolled. This study consists of 3 cohorts.

Read the detailed description

This multiarm study in HVs and subjects with NAFLD is designed to further characterize the PK, safety and tolerability of ASC41. Part I of the study will assess the effect of itraconazole and phenytoin on the single-dose PK of ASC41 in HVs. Part II of the study will evaluate the PK, safety and tolerability of a single dose of ASC41 in subjects with NAFLD. The pharmacokinetics of ASC41 and its metabolite ASC41-A will be assessed in both parts I and II. The secondary objective of the study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of oral ASC41 in subjects in the U.S. with NAFLD and in HVs. Approximately 24 male and female participants will be enrolled. This study consists of 3 cohorts.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ASC41, Itraconazole and Phenytoin in people with Healthy and NAFLD, run by Gannex Pharma Co., Ltd. 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 16 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 Sep 2024. 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 of ASC41 (time frame: Up to 24 days). The study lists 2 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 27 Sep 2024.
