Trial summary

Prior to administering PF-04427429 to patients we wish to increase the understanding of functional effects associated with calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) pathways. This study will examine whether it is possible for a single dose of PF-04427429 to acutely attenuate a capsaicin induced flare response. Read more about this study

  • Ages 18 to 50 years
  • Men only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Healthy male subjects between the ages of 18 and 50 years inclusive. Healthy is defined as no clinically relevant abnormalities identified by a detailed medical history, full physical examination, including blood pressure and pulse rate measurement, 12-lead ECG and clinical laboratory tests.
  • Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the subject (or a legally acceptable representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the trial.
  • Skintype I-III with a distance from base of scaphoid to antecubital fossa >26cm on their forearms.

Who cannot join

  • Evidence or history of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, genitourinary, psychiatric, neurologic, or allergic disease (including drug allergies, but excluding untreated, symptomatic, seasonal allergies at time of dosing).
  • Use of biologics including any live vaccines within 3 months prior to screening or prior treatment with an antibody in a previous clinical trial or treatment with an immunoglobulin in the past 6 months.
  • 12-lead ECG demonstrating QTcF >450 msec at screening.
  • Subjects with scars or tattoos on the forearms, or with evidence of sunburn, or excessive hairy volar forearms.

About this study

Official title: A Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Third-Party Open, Modified Cross-Over Study To Examine The Acute Effect Of PF-04427429 On Capsaicin Flare Response In Healthy Volunteers Using EMLA Cream As Positive Control

Prior to administering PF-04427429 to patients we wish to increase the understanding of functional effects associated with calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) pathways. This study will examine whether it is possible for a single dose of PF-04427429 to acutely attenuate a capsaicin induced flare response.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Placebo IV infusion (saline) to be administered during two of the three treatment periods

  • Capsaicin challengeOther

    Capsaicin challenge: 110 mg (0.075% capsaicin) to be applied at pre-dose and at 2h, 5h, 8h and 24h post-dose as well as 1 week and 4 weeks post final treatment period

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean blood perfusion induced by capsaicin challenge, between 30 and 60 minutes post each administration of capsaicin

    Measured: 7 weeks post first dose

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Adverse Events including dose site reactions, blood pressure, pulse rate, ECG, ADA and laboratory safety

    Measured: 12 weeks post final dose

  2. Plasma concentrations of free PF-04427429

    Measured: 6 weekly following week 15

  3. Plasma concentrations of free and total CGRP

    Measured: 6 weekly following week 15

  4. Mean blood perfusion induced by capsaicin challenge, between 40 and 60 minutes post each administration of capsaicin.

    Measured: 7 weeks post first dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PF-04427429 and Capsaicin challenge in people with Healthy, run by Pfizer at 1 site in Belgium.

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 3 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 21 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 Belgium. 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?

Mean blood perfusion induced by capsaicin challenge, between 30 and 60 minutes post each administration of capsaicin (time frame: 7 weeks post first dose). 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 21 Dec 2011.
