About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-label, Randomized, Crossover Trial in Healthy Adults to Compare the Oral Bioavailability of TMC278 From Three Concept Pediatric Formulations (Solution, Suspension, Granules) With That From the Adult Phase III Tablet Formulation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how much and how fast a single, oral, daily 25 mg dose of TMC278 is absorbed into the body when administered as a solution, suspension, granules, or a tablet. In addition, the effect of each formulation of TMC278 will be evaluated in patients in the fasted and fed states and the palatability (how the drug tastes) of each formulation will be assessed. Finally, the safety and tolerability of each formulation of TMC278 will be assessed throughout the study.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (both investigator and volunteer knows the name of the assigned study medication), randomized (study medication will be assigned by chance) cross-over study in healthy adults to compare the rate and the extent of absorption of TMC278 when administered as a single 25 mg dose of the 3 concept pediatric formulations (solution [10 mg/mL], suspension [5 mg/mL], granules [2.5 mg/g]), under fed and fasted conditions, to that when administered as the 25 mg TMC278 Phase III tablet formulation, under fed conditions, in healthy adults and to assess the effect of food on the bioavailability of TMC278 after a single 25 mg dose of the concept pediatric TMC278 formulations in healthy adults. The palatability of the 3 concept formulations will be assessed in a fasted state by use of a questionnaire and a visual analog scale. The short-term safety and tolerability of TMC278 following administration of 3 single oral doses of 25 mg, formulated as one of the concept pediatric formulations (under fed and fasted conditions) and as the Phase III tablet (under fed conditions), in healthy adults will be evaluated. TMC278 25 mg formulated as a solution, suspension, granules, or tablet will be administered orally (by mouth). Each volunteer will receive on the first day of one treatment session one TMC278 25 mg tablet. On the first day of the other sessions they receive a single dose of TMC278 25 mg formulated as a the solution, a suspension or granules.

What is being measured

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

  1. For each treatment session, full pharmacokinetic profiles will be measured up to 168 hours post-dosing

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety and tolerability will be monitored throughout the trial. Palatability of the 3 concept formulations will be assessed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TMC278 in people with Pharmacokinetics and Bioavailability, run by Tibotec Pharmaceuticals, Ireland.

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 4 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 9 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

For each treatment session, full pharmacokinetic profiles will be measured up to 168 hours post-dosing. 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 9 Jun 2011.
