Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 50 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Healthy, male or female subjects having provided written, informed, consent before entering the study. Light smokers (≤10 cigarettes/day) will be eligible for inclusion in this study. Smokers will be defined as any subject who reports cigarette use or has a urine cotinine greater than 500 ng/mL.
  • Female subjects must be either surgically sterilized at least 6 months or practicing an acceptable form of birth control (i.e. double barrier method - intrauterine device plus condom, spermicidal gel plus condom).
  • Subjects must have a body weight between 45 and 90 kg and a body mass index (BMI) between 18-28 kg/m2.
  • Japanese subjects of 1st, 2nd, or 3rd generation ethnic origin or Caucasian.
  • Japanese subjects will be defined as being of Japanese ethnicity with all 4 grandparents of Japanese descent. Generations will be defined as follows:
  • 'First generation' Japanese are subjects who were born in Japan to parents of Japanese ethnicity.
Show all 9Show fewer
  • 'Second generation' will be defined as subjects who were born outside of Japan to 1st generation Japanese parents.
  • 'Third generation' will be defined as subjects born outside of Japan to 2nd generation Japanese parents, i.e. 4 grandparents from Japan but both parents and subject born elsewhere.
  • Caucasians are defined as subjects with all four grandparents of European descent.

Who cannot join

  • Presence and/or history of a clinically significant illness within two weeks prior to dosing, history of drug or alcohol abuse within the 12 months prior to dosing, use of any prescription drug or over-the-counter (OTC) medication (acetaminophen is acceptable) within 14 days prior to dosing.
  • Presence of a clinically significant systemic illness, active infectious process (viral or bacterial), e.g., cold sore, or documented drug allergies that may deteriorate or affect the subject's safety or ability to cooperate during the study.
  • Laboratory or clinical evidence suggestive of liver or renal disease, history of heart disease, history of autonomic dysfunction (e.g. history of fainting, orthostatic hypotension, sinus arrhythmia), history of acute or chronic bronchospastic disease (including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, treated or not treated), history of major gastrointestinal disease, history or clinical evidence of pancreatic injury or pancreatitis
  • Subjects with a resting heart rate < 50 beats per minute (bpm)
  • Subjects with systolic blood pressure < 90 or diastolic blood pressure < 50.
  • Subjects with lymphocyte counts less than 1200/mm3 or total white blood cell (WBC) greater than 10000/mm3 at baseline
Show all 9Show fewer
  • A past medical history of clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities or a family history of a prolonged QT-interval syndrome.
  • Subjects who intend to or have received any live attenuated vaccines 4 weeks prior to or during the study period.
  • Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.

About this study

Official title: A Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study of AEB071 in Healthy Volunteers to Evaluate the Safety/Tolerability of 14 Day Multiple-Dose AEB071 and Measure the Effect of Ethnicity on Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Safety/Tolerability in Caucasian and Japanese Subjects Receiving Single and Multiple Doses of AEB071

This is a study to assess the safety effects after multiple doses of AEB071 in healthy volunteers and to compare the ethnicity, metabolic, and safety effects between Caucasian and Japanese healthy subjects receiving single and multiple doses of AEB071.

What participants receive

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

  • AEB071Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare the pharmacokinetics between healthy Caucasian and Japanese subjects after a single oral dose of AEB071

  2. To compare the pharmacokinetics between healthy Caucasian and Japanese subjects after 7 days of oral, daily doses of AEB071

  3. To compare the safety and tolerability of single and multiple oral doses of AEB071 in healthy Japanese and Caucasian subjects

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To compare the dose response, temporal course and effect of AEB071 on lymphocyte proliferation after single oral doses of AEB071 in healthy Caucasian and Japanese subjects

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AEB071 in people with Healthy, run by Novartis at 1 site in Canada.

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 9 inclusion and 9 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 11 Aug 2008. 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 Canada. 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?

To compare the pharmacokinetics between healthy Caucasian and Japanese subjects after a single oral dose of AEB071. The study lists 3 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 11 Aug 2008.
