About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Actively-Controlled, Crossover Bioequivalence Study of a Novel Pharmaceutical Lipid-Aspirin Complex Formulation at 325 mg Dose Versus Immediate Release Aspirin in Healthy Volunteers

This trial is a randomized, actively-controlled, open-label, 2-way crossover bioequivalence study to determine PK parameters following treatment with test aspirin product (PL-ASA capsules) and reference aspirin product (IR-ASA tablets) administered at a single dose of 325 mg.

Read the detailed description

Healthy volunteers will be asked to sign informed consent prior to conduct any protocol specified activities at screening. A total of 20 eligible subjects will be randomized, in a fasted state, to 1 of 2 sequences of study drug administration (each study drug dose contains 325 mg aspirin) at 1:1 ratio:

  • PL-ASA capsule, IR-ASA tablet
  • IR-ASA tablet, PL-ASA capsule

After completion of the first treatment on Day 1 and following the 24 hours of sample collection, a minimum of a 7-day washout period will be required before all subjects are crossed over and receive treatment with the alternative compound; i.e., subject randomized to receive PL-ASA capsule as a first treatment will receive IR-ASA tablet as the second treatment, and vice-versa.

Conditions
Bioequivalence
Being tested
Pharmaceutical-lipid aspirin (PL-ASA)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pharmaceutical-lipid aspirin (PL-ASA)Drug

    Also called Immediate-release aspirin (IR-ASA)

    Subjects receive the first drug, followed by a 7-day washout period, then receive the second drug.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pharmaceutical-lipid aspirin (PL-ASA) in people with Bioequivalence, run by PLx Pharma 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 8 inclusion and 21 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 2022. 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?

Bioequivalence of single-dose acetylsalicylic acid PK of the PL-ASA formulation to IR-ASA in healthy volunteers at 325 mg dose level. (time frame: 24 hours after dosing). 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 2022.
