About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Prospective, Randomised, Cross-over Trial to Assess the Pharmacokinetics of an Amorphous Formulation of Sorafenib in Mesoporous Magnesium Carbonate (DPH001) Compared to Nexavar® (sorafenib) in Healthy Volunteers

The study aims to assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of DPH001, an amorphous formulation of sorafenib, compared to Nexavar® in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, prospective, randomized, cross-over, single-center trial designed to evaluate the bioavailability, safety, and tolerability of DPH001 compared to Nexavar® in healthy male participants and healthy female participants of non-childbearing potential. The objective of the study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of sorafenib after the administration of 100 mg DPH001 vs. after the administration of 200 mg Nexavar®. After being informed of the study and potential risks, all subjects given written informed consent will undergo a screening to determine eligibility for study entry. Participants will receive, in a randomized order, 1 dose of 100 mg DPH001, and 1 dose of 200 mg Nexavar®, all in a fasted state. IMP administrations will be separated by wash-out periods of at least 14 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing DPH001 and Nexavar (Sorafenib) in people with Healthy, run by Disruptive Pharma at 1 site in Sweden.

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 12 inclusion and 28 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 17 Mar 2025. 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 Sweden. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

To compare the AUC (0-6h) of sorafenib after the administration of 100 mg DPH001 vs. 200 mg Nexavar® in fasted conditions. (time frame: From administration of study drug until 4 days). The study lists 5 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 17 Mar 2025.
