About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized, 3-Period, Safety and Pharmacokinetic Study of 13C-uracil in a Semi-solid Meal at Single Oral Doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg in Healthy Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and establish the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of C13-URA in healthy volunteers

Read the detailed description

The C13-URA Breath Test Kit is intended to be used as a diagnostic tool to identify rapid and/or delayed gastric emptying in patients who have upper GI symptoms such as stomach pain, fullness, early satiety, vomiting, etc., and who have suspected gastric emptying abnormalities such as gastroparesis or dumping syndrome.

This study will be a double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-period safety and PK study of 13C-uracil administered as a single oral dose of 50 mg at step 1 (Period 1), 100 mg at step 2 (Period 2), and 200 mg at step 3 (Period 3) in the form of a semi-solid meal to subjects following at least a 10-hour fast from food and 2-hour fast from water. Dosing will be followed by a 6-hour fast from food and a 4-hour fast from water. There will be a washout of at least 7 days between doses.

The objectives of this study are as follows;

1)to evaluate the safety of 13C-uracil in a semi-solid meal in healthy volunteers, 2)to establish the pharmacokinetic profile of 13C-uracil in a semi-solid meal in healthy volunteers, 3)to assess the correlation between plasma concentration of 13C-uracil and urinary excretion of 13C-uracil, 4)to evaluate the reproducibility (intra/inter-individual variance) of the breath test, 5)to determine the dose for 13C-uracil that facilitates adequate Δ13C in breath expired by healthy volunteers

What is being measured

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

  1. PK parameters

    Pharmacokinetic endpoints will include apparent clearance (CL/F), AUCt, AUC∞, Cmax, tmax, and t1/2,Z for 13C-uracil and its metabolites. The PK linearity and correlation between plasma concentration and urine excretion will be evaluated. Expired 13CO2 concentrations (Δ13C) will be converted to 13CO2-excretion(% dose/hr) to assess breath PK parameters (AUCt, AUC∞, Cmax, tmax, λZ, and t1/2,Z).

    Measured: 6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing [2-13C] uracil in people with Gastroparesis, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. 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 2 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 19 Jul 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

PK parameters (time frame: 6 hours). 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 19 Jul 2010.
