About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetic Model Based on Population Physiology of Oral and Intranasal Formulations of Zolmitriptan in Healthy Volunteers

This is a phase I study to evaluate the PBPK of zolmitriptan intranasal versus oral administration.

Conditions
Healthy
Being tested
Zolmitriptan intranasal., Zolmitriptan oral.

What participants receive

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

  • Zolmitriptan intranasal.Drug

    Zolmitriptan nasal spray is supplied in a single-use, ready-to-use spray unit. It is administered in one nostril. The full protocol will explain how to use it. Following drug administration, study subjects will continue to fast for a minimum of 4h and snacks and standard meals may be served at scheduled times after drug administration (snack: +4h; lunch: +7h; snack: +10h). Liquid intake will not be allowed from 2h before to 2h after drug administration.

  • Zolmitriptan oral.Drug

    Zolmitriptan 5 mg orally disintegrating tablet is to be taken without liquids. For oral administration, each tablet will be placed in the top of the tongue without any liquid and will disperse in a matter of seconds, then be swallowed with saliva. Following drug administration, study subjects will continue to fast for a minimum of 4h and snacks and standard meals may be served at scheduled times after drug administration (snack: +4h; lunch: +7h; snack: +10h). Liquid intake will not be allowed from 2h before to 2h after drug administration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effects of Zolmitriptan on Heart Rate (HR).

    To assess the effects of Zolmitriptan on HR; only results at 24 hours will be reported.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours.

  2. Effects of Zolmitriptan on Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP).

    To assess the effects of Zolmitriptan on SBP; only results at 24 hours will be reported.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours.

  3. Effects of Zolmitriptan Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP)

    To assess the effects of Zolmitriptan on DBP; only results at 24 hours will be reported.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  4. AUC(0-24h)

    Area under the curve from 0 time to the last measurable concentration (of oral and intranasal zolmitriptan), calculated from individual plasma PK concentrations.

    Measured: up to 24 hours

  5. Tmax

    Time of maximum observed concentration (of oral and intranasal zolmitriptan), calculated from individual plasma PK concentrations.

    Measured: Blood samples were taken pre-dose and up to 24 hours after start of each Dose

  6. Cmax

    The mean maximum observed concentration (of oral and intranasal zolmitriptan), calculated from individual plasma PK concentrations

    Measured: Blood samples were taken pre-dose and up to 24 hours after start of each Dose

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse Effects (AE)

    AE was performed including number and percentage.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Zolmitriptan intranasal. and Zolmitriptan oral. in people with Healthy, run by Parc de Salut Mar at 1 site in Spain.

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 6 inclusion and 12 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 5 May 2026. 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 Spain. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 May 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Effects of Zolmitriptan on Heart Rate (HR). (time frame: Up to 24 hours.). The study lists 6 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 5 May 2026.
