About this study

Official title: A One-Directional, Open-Label, Drug Interaction Study to Investigate the Effects of Multiple-Dose Colchicine on Single-Dose Pharmacokinetics of Theophylline in Healthy Volunteers

Colchicine is a supressor of hepatic CYP1A2 and theophylline is a sensitive CYP1A2 probe substrate. When the two are co-administered the potential exists for a clinically significant drug interaction. This study aims to determine the effect of steady-state colchicine on the pharmacokinetics of theophylline administered as a single dose. A secondary goal is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of this regimen in healthy volunteers. All study subjects will be monitored for adverse events throughout the entire study period.

Colchicine is a supressor of hepatic CYP1A2 and theophylline is a sensitive CYP1A2 probe substrate. When the two are co-administered the potential exists for a clinically significant drug interaction . This study aims to determine the effect of steady-state colchicine on the pharmacokinetics of theophylline administered as a single dose. After a fast of at least 10 hours, thirty healthy, non-smoking, non-obese, non-pregnant adult volunteers between the ages of 18 and 45 will be given one dose of 300mg (80mg/15ml concentrate) theophylline (theophylline elixir) on Day 1. Fasting will continue for 4 hours after the dose. Blood samples will be drawn from all participants before dosing and for 24 hours post-dose on a confined basis at times sufficient to adequately determine the pharmacokinetics of theophylline. Blood sampling will then continue on a non-confined basis on days 2-3. A four day washout period will be completed after the theophylline dose on Day 1 and prior to administration of the first colchicine dose on Day 5. Participants will return to the clinic on days 5-18 for non-confined dosing of colchicine (0.6mg every 12 hours). Administered dosing on these days will not necessarily be in a fasted state.

On Day 19 after a fast of at least 10 hours, all study participants will receive 300mg theophylline (80mg/15ml) and 0.6 mg colchicine (1 x 0.6mg tablet) together. Fasting will continue for 4 hours following these co-administered doses. All subjects will be confined to the clinic for dosing and the following 24-hour period. Blood samples will be drawn at times sufficient to adequately determine the pharmacokinetics of theophylline in the presence of colchicine at steady state. Blood sampling will continue on a non-confined basis on Days 20-21. The final dose of colchicine (1x0.6mg) will be administered to subjects the evening of Day 19.

A further goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of this regimen in healthy volunteers. Subjects will be monitored throughout participation in the study for adverse reactions to the study drug and/or procedures. Seated blood pressure and pulse will be measured prior to dosing and at approximately 1, 2, and 3 hours following drug administration on Days 1, 5 (after the morning dose) and 19. All adverse events whether elicited by query, spontaneously reported, or observed by clinic staff will be evaluated by the Investigator and reported in the subject's case report form.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    The maximum or peak concentration that theophylline drug reaches in the plasma.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn within 1 hour prior to theophylline dosing (0 hour) on Days 1 and 19, then at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours after theophylline dose administration

  2. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 to Time t [AUC(0-t)]

    The area under the theophylline plasma concentration versus time curve, from time 0 to the time of the last measurable theophylline concentration (t), as calculated by the linear trapezoidal rule.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn within 1 hour prior to theophylline dosing (0 hour) on Days 1 and 19, then at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours after theophylline dose administration

  3. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity [AUC(0-∞)]

    The area under the theophylline plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to infinity. AUC(0-∞) was calculated as the sum of AUC(0-t) plus the ratio of the last measurable theophylline plasma concentration to the elimination rate constant.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn within 1 hour prior to theophylline dosing (0 hour) on Days 1 and 19, then at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours after theophylline dose administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Theophylline and Colchicine in people with Pharmacokinetics, run by Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc. at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 7 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 2 Mar 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 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 24 Sep 2009). 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?

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) (time frame: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn within 1 hour prior to theophylline dosing (0 hour) on Days 1 and 19, then at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours after theophylline dose administration). 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 2 Mar 2010.
