Who may be able to join

  • All subjects:

Who cannot join

  • All subjects:

  • History of clinically significant drug allergy; history of atopic allergy (asthma, urticaria, eczematous dermatitis). A known hypersensitivity to the study drug (everolimus) or drugs similar to the study drug (other mTOR inhibitors, e.g., rapamycin or temsirolimus).
  • Active bleeding during the last 28 days prior to dosing, including variceal bleeding.
  • Except for hepatic impairment, any surgical or medical condition which might significantly alter the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of drugs or which may jeopardize the subject in case of participation in the study.
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Use of tobacco within 7 days prior to dosing or during the study.
  • Consumption of alcohol within 3 days prior to dosing or during the study.
  • Consumption of grapefruits, grapefruit juice, Sevilla oranges, starfruit or related foods within 7 days prior to dosing or during the study period.
  • Use of any drugs known to affect CYP3A4 or PgP, including both inhibitors and inducers, within 7 days prior to dosing or during the study.
  • Hepatic impaired subjects:
  • Symptoms or history of Grade 3 or 4 hepatic encephalopathy within 4 weeks of study entry.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of everolimus in subjects with severely impaired hepatic function (Child-Pugh C) relative to healthy controls. Measure: AUC, Cmax, tmax, λz, Vd/F, CL/F and t1/2

    Measured: First 8 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of everolimus in subjects with mild and moderate impaired hepatic function (Child-Pugh A and B, respectively) relative to healthy controls.

    Measured: First 8 days

  2. Assess the safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of everolimus in subjects with impaired hepatic function (Child-Pugh A, B, and C).

    Measured: First 8 days plus day 15 and day 28 post-dose follow-ups for safety

  3. Explore correlation between pharmacokinetics and hepatic function parameters

    Measured: First 8 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Everolimus in people with Hepatic Insufficiency, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 3 sites in 3 countries.

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 13 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 21 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Germany, Russia, Singapore. 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?

Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of everolimus in subjects with severely impaired hepatic function (Child-Pugh C) relative to healthy controls. Measure: AUC, Cmax, tmax, λz, Vd/F, CL/F and t1/2 (time frame: First 8 days). 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 NCT00968591, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Dec 2020.
