About this study

Official title: A Clinical Study to Assess the Effect of Different Dosing Intervals on the Multiple-Dose Pharmacokinetics of WD-1603 (25mg Carbidopa/150mg Levodopa) When Administered Before Meals in Healthy Participants

WD-1603 contains two different drugs called levodopa and carbidopa in one tablet. The goal of this clinical trial is to see if taking the study drug WD-1603 at different time intervals affects how the drug acts in healthy volunteers. We also want to learn about the safety of WD-1603.

The main question we want to answer is:

  • How does the body process WD-1603 when it is taken by different time intervals? What will participants do?
  • Participants will take one tablet of WD-1603 twice a day on three separate days.
  • On each dosing day, the two doses will be spaced different hours apart.
  • Between each dosing day, there will be a rest period of up to 7 days.
Read the detailed description

This trial is a multiple-dose, open-label, sequential, three-period pharmacokinetic study comparing different dosing intervals of WD-1603 in healthy participants.

The purpose of the study is:

  • To evaluate the effect of different dosing intervals on the pharmacokinetics of twice-daily WD-1603 when administered before meals.
  • To assess the safety and tolerability of WD-1603 in healthy participants. Each participant will receive the investigational drug in the sequence of Treatment A, Treatment B, and Treatment C. After each dosing period, there will be a washout period of up to 7 days.

This Phase I clinical trial is planned to enroll 12 healthy participants, with an appropriate proportion of female participants (at least one quarter, i.e., 3 participants).

Pharmacokinetic parameters will be calculated using Phoenix WinNonlin (version 8.3 or higher), and other analyses will be performed using SAS software (version 9.4 or higher). Using PKS, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) is performed on the natural log-transformed Cmax, AUC0-τ, and ΔC0.5. The model includes dosing occasion as a fixed effect and participant as a random effect. The 90% confidence interval for the geometric mean ratio (second dose/first dose) of each parameter is calculated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study of Healhty, run by Shanghai WD Pharmaceutical Co., 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 6 inclusion and 19 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 23 Sep 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 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?

Maximal Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Carbidopa and Levodopa (time frame: 24 hours after the first dose.). The study lists 11 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07442591, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 23 Sep 2026.
