About this study

Official title: A Open Single-dose and Multiple-dose Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Duloxetine in Chinese Han Healthy Subjects

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of duloxetine hydrochloride tablets in Chinese Han Healthy Subjects. The single oral dose and multiple oral dose of the drug in the body and the effects of different dosages of the drug will also be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

This is an open, parallel assignment (low-dose, moderate-dose and high-dose), inpatient, sequential-group pharmacokinetics study of single oral administered and multiple oral administered to healthy Chinese male and female subjects at a single investigational site. All subjects are from the Chinese Han race.

Approximately 36 healthy male and female Chinese subjects will participate in this study. One half of the subjects enrolled in each dose group will be female. Twelve subjects will be enrolled in each of 3 dose level groups.

Safety will be evaluated from self-reported adverse events, scheduled physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead ECGs, and clinical laboratory test results.

Single-dose blood samples (5 mL) will be obtained within 2 hours before test article administration and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 15, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours after test article administration.

Multiple-dose (subjects of moderate dose group finished first step single-dose 30mg trial, one week later, will be repeatedly administered duloxetine 30 mg 7days) blood samples (5 mL) will be obtained at 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th day before test article administration (to test the valley concentration)and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 15, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours after last test article administration (7th day).

Cross-over (subjects of high dose group finished first step single-dose 60 mg generic duloxetine trial, one week later, will be administered single-dose innovator duloxetine 60 mg) blood samples will be obtained as same as first step.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing duloxetine in people with Healthy, run by Shanghai Mental Health Center 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 11 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 15 Jun 2010. 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?

Pharmacokinetics as evaluated from blood concentrations of duloxetine (time frame: 2 months). 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 15 Jun 2010; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
