About this study

Official title: A Single-centre, Open-label, Exploratory Study to Investigate the Pharmacokinetics of Ethionamide and Ethionamide Sulfoxide in Patients Established on Treatment for Tuberculosis.

To determine the pharmacokinetics of ethionamide (Eto) and ethionamide-sulfoxide (Eto-SO) in participants with tuberculosis (TB) when Eto is dosed under programmatic conditions.

Read the detailed description

A single-centre, open-label, exploratory pharmacokinetic study. This study is designed to collect blood samples from participants established on a TB treatment regimen which includes Eto. These samples will be analysed for concentrations of Eto and its metabolite Eto-SO.

The medication will not be provided by the study, participants will receive their standard of care medication from their local clinic. Participants will continue to take their total daily dose of Eto on study as prescribed by their primary caregiver, this will not change for their participation on study.

What participants receive

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

  • Plasma samplesOther

    Up to 80ml of plasma may be collected from each participant over the 24 hour sampling period to be used for PK analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the Cmax of ethionamide in participants with tuberculosis (TB) when ethionamide is dosed under programmatic conditions.

    maximum observed plasma drug concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: 2 days

  2. To determine the Cmax of ethionamide-sulfoxide in participants with tuberculosis (TB) when ethionamide is dosed under programmatic conditions.

    maximum observed plasma drug concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: 2 days

  3. To determine the AUC of ethionamide in participants with tuberculosis (TB) when ethionamide is dosed under programmatic conditions.

    area under the plasma drug concentration versus time (AUC0-24)

    Measured: 2 days

  4. To determine the AUC of ethionamide-sulfoxide in participants with tuberculosis (TB) when ethionamide is dosed under programmatic conditions.

    area under the plasma drug concentration versus time (AUC0-24)

    Measured: 2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tuberculosis, Pulmonary, run by BioVersys AG at 1 site in South Africa.

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 8 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 21 Nov 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 South Africa. 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.

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?

To determine the Cmax of ethionamide in participants with tuberculosis (TB) when ethionamide is dosed under programmatic conditions. (time frame: 2 days). The study lists 4 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 21 Nov 2023.
