About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Two-Period, Double-Crossover Comparative Study on the Pharmacokinetics of Pirfenidone Modified-Release Tablets and Pirfenidone Tablets in Healthy Chinese Subjects Under Fed Conditions

A Randomized, Open-Label, Two-Period, Double-Crossover Comparative Study on the Pharmacokinetics of Pirfenidone Modified-Release Tablets and Pirfenidone Tablets in Healthy Chinese Subjects under Fed Conditions Primary objective: To evaluate the bioequivalence of test product and reference product by comparing their plasma concentrations and main PK parameters by oral administration in healthy Chinese subjects under fed conditions using Pirfenidone Modified-Release Tablets (strength: 600 mg/tablet) developed by Overseas Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. as the test product and Pirfenidone Tablets (trade name: Pirespa®, strength: 200 mg/tablet) produced by Shionogi \& Co., Ltd. as the reference product. Secondary objective: To evaluate the safety of Pirfenidone Modified-Release Tablets (test product) and Pirfenidone Tablets (reference product) after oral administration in healthy Chinese subjects under fed conditions.

Read the detailed description

It is designed to be a single-center, randomized, open-label, two-period, double-crossover trial. All subjects must sign an informed consent form (ICF) prior to participation in the trial. Twenty-four (24) eligible healthy subjects (male and female, with an appropriate sex ratio) screened through physical examination from D-14 to D-1 of dosing will be randomized into Group T-R and Group R-T, with 12 subjects in each group. The enrolled subjects will be admitted to phase I ward of the clinical study site 1 day before medication in each period and fasted for more than 10 h before medication.

On the morning of medication, after the collection of blank blood samples within 60 minutes before administration, both group will have a standard breakfast that completed within 10 min±30 s. Group T will orally take 1 tablet of Pirfenidone Modified-Release Tablets (600 mg/tablet, Overseas Pharmaceuticals, Ltd.) developed by Overseas Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. in 12 minutes after starting a standard breakfast ; Group R will orally take 3 tablet of Pirfenidone Modified-Release Tablets (600 mg/tablet, Overseas Pharmaceuticals, Ltd.) under fed condition(The first tablet should be taken in 12 minutes after the start of a standard breakfast, the second tablet should be taken in 30 minutes (±30 s) after the start of a standard lunch, and the third tablet should be taken in 30 minutes (±30 s) after the start of a standard dinner).

Standard lunch is served 4 h after administration, standard dinner 10 h later, water is prohibited before and within 1 h after administration (except 240 mL water for medication), and unified diet is required during the trial.

Unified diet is required during the trial. The trial method in period II is the same as that in period I, with a washout period of 6 days.

PK blood sampling and blood sample processing:

Cubital venous blood will be collected at 31 time points: before administration (0 h) and 0.25 h, 0.50 h, 1.00 h, 1.50 h, 2.00 h, 3.00 h, 4.00 h, 4.50 h, 5.00 h, 6.00 h, 7.00 h, 7.50 h, 8.00 h, 9.00 h, 10.00 h, 10.25 h, 10.50 h, 11.00 h, 11.50 h, 12.00 h, 12.50 h, 13.00 h, 14.00 h, 16.00 h, 18.00 h, 20.00 h, 24.00 h, 28.00 h, 36.00 h and 48.00 h after administration of each period.

Four milliliters (4 mL) (scale of 4 mL should be pre-marked on the blood collection tube) will be drawn and placed in a labeled EDTA-2K anticoagulant tube. The collection, processing and storage procedures of biological samples are subject to the final sample operation manual. Sitting vital signs (including respiratory rate, body temperature, pulse rate, and sitting blood pressure) will be measured within 1 h before administration and at 2 ± 0.5 h, 8 ± 0.5 h, 24 ± 0.5 h and 48 ± 1 h after administration. Subjects should receive physical examination, vital signs, ECG, and laboratory-related tests on D2 after the last dose. The subjective feelings of subjects as well as possible adverse reactions (ARs) and adverse events (AEs) occurred during the trial should be observed and inquired. All subjects will be followed up for 7 days after the end of the last dose to inquire the occurrence of any subsequent AEs. If occurred, AEs should be recorded and followed up. An AE emerged during the trial should be followed up until it is resolved.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable plasma concentration of the period (AUC0-last)

    The 90% CI for the geometric mean ratios (i.e., antilog-transformation for 90% CI of difference with log transformation) of AUC0-last within [0.8, 1.25] range will be used to determine the result of bioequivalence.

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Area under the curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0-inf)

    The 90% CI for the geometric mean ratios (i.e., antilog-transformation for 90% CI of difference with log transformation)of AUC0-inf within [0.8, 1.25] range will be used to determine the result of bioequivalence.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Peak concentration at each treatment period (Cmax,tp)

    The 90% CI for the geometric mean ratios (i.e., antilog-transformation for 90% CI of difference with log transformation)of Cmax,tp within [0.8, 1.25] range will be used to determine the result of bioequivalence.

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Peak concentration of the first dosing (Cmax)

    Individual pirfenidone and 5-carboxyl-pirfenidone plasma concentration-time profile for each treatment period will be established.

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Time to reach peak concentration of the first dosing (Tmax)

    Individual pirfenidone and 5-carboxyl-pirfenidone plasma concentration-time profile for each treatment period will be established.

    Measured: 1 month

  4. Terminal half-life (T1/2)

    Individual pirfenidone and 5-carboxyl-pirfenidone plasma concentration-time profile for each treatment period will be established.

    Measured: 1 month

  5. Elimination rate constant (λz)

    The PK parameters of each subject were calculated for statistical analysis

    Measured: 1 month

  6. Apparent clearance(CL/F)

    The PK parameters of each subject were calculated for statistical analysis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pirfenidone Modified-Release Tablets and Pirfenidone Tablets in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by Overseas Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 18 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 19 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 China. 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?

Area under the curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable plasma concentration of the period (AUC0-last) (time frame: 1 month). 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 19 Sep 2024.
