What is being measured

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

    Measured: Pre-dose up to 72 hours post-dose on Day 4

  2. Relative Bioavailability Based on Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve From Time Zero to Infinity [Frel(AUC0-inf)] of Evobrutinib Modified-Release Formulation Compared to Immediate-Release Evobrutinib Reference Formulation

    Measured: Pre-dose up to 72 hours post-dose on Day 4

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Abnormal Laboratory Test Results, Abnormal Vital Signs and Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) Measurements

    Measured: Up to Day 123

  2. Pharmacokinetic Plasma Concentration of Evobrutinib Formulations

    Measured: Pre-dose up to 72 hours post-dose on Day 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ref (TF2), Evobrutinib MR-T1 and Evobrutinib MR-T2 in people with Healthy, run by Merck Healthcare KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, an affiliate of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 22 Mar 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Relative Bioavailability Based on Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve From Time Zero to 24 Hours Post Dose [Frel(AUC0-24)] of Evobrutinib Modified-Release Formulation Compared to Immediate-Release Evobrutinib Reference Formulation (time frame: Pre-dose up to 72 hours post-dose on Day 4). 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 22 Mar 2023.
