About this study

This is a single-center, randomized, 2-period, 2-sequence, cross-over study.

Read the detailed description

Background:

Notions used to describe drug disposition are being reviewed as the roles of drug membrane transporters are being discovered. In the near past, simple biophysical principles - lipophilicity and passive diffusion - were used to explain drug absorption, distribution and elimination. Today, with more than 367 genes known in humans, membrane transporters occupy a much central role.

Rational:

Drug influx/efflux transporters are expressed in various organs with variable activities and their presence increases (influx) or decreases (efflux) the intracellular concentration of a drug in a specific organ. Therefore, intersubject variability in the activity of these transporters due to genetic polymorphisms or concomitant drug treatments can explain intersubject variability in drug actions.

Rosuvastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor and a substrate of OATPs and BCRP. There is not much information on the transporter-mediated disposition of rosuvastatin. Literature suggests that rosuvastatin is a transporter substrate of the influx OATP1B1, 1B3 and 2B1 as well as the efflux BCRP. The efflux of rosuvastatin by BCRP would be of major importance in the hepatocytes. BCRP would be responsible of the excretion of 30% of the unchanged drug in the bile. To confirm this hypothesis and identify patients at risk of toxicity with rosuvastatin, we want to perform a drug-drug interactions study with an inhibitor of BCRP namely, pantoprazole. With this approach, we will confirm if rosuvastatin is a real substrate of BCRP as suggested in the literature.

Methodology:

To determine changes induced by the administration of pantoprazole on the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin in healthy volunteers 16 healthy volunteers will be administered a single dose of rosuvastatin with and without (placebo) pantoprazole.

Urine and plasma analysis will be performed by LC-MSMS. Pharmacokinetics analysis will be performed. Plasma and urine concentrations of rosuvastatin will be analysed using a noncompartmental method. Pharmacokinetic parameters calculated in this study will be Cmax, Tmax, AUC0-72, AUC0-∞, Kel, T1/2β, CL/F, CLr, and Ae.

Being tested
Rosuvastatin, Pantoprazole

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Rosuvastatin, PantoprazoleDrug

    Also called Crestor 10 mg, Pantoloc 40 mg

    Rosuvastatin, 10 mg tablets, single dose on the morning

    Concomitant drug: Pantoprazole; 40 mg tablets, 2 single doses administered 1 hour before rosuvastatin and 23 hours after rosuvastatin administration. A placebo is given on the other period as a crossover design study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Rosuvastatin, Pantoprazole in people with Drug Interaction Potentiation, run by Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 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 Dec 2011. 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 Canada. 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?

To determine changes induced by pantoprazole administration on the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin in healthy volunteers. (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 Dec 2011.
