About this study

Official title: A Single-dose, Open-label, Multi-center Study Evaluating the Pharmacokinetics of Doxylamine Succinate in Children Ages 2 to < 18 Years

The primary goal of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of doxylamine succinate in children ages 2 to < 18 years. Once characterized, these pediatric pharmacokinetic data will be pooled with historical adult PK data from other studies to assess whether the existing Over-the-Counter (OTC)doses provide comparable systemic drug exposure as that associated with efficacy in adults.

    Measured: 72 Hours

  2. Cmax of Doxylamine

    Maximum concentration of Doxylamine from 0 to 72 hours post-dose

    Measured: 72 Hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Doxylamine Succinate USP in people with Allergic Rhinitis and Upper Respiratory Infection, run by Procter and Gamble at 6 sites in United States.

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 11 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 4 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States. 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 25 Jan 2013). 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?

AUC of Doxylamine (time frame: 72 Hours). 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 4 Feb 2013.
