About this study

This is an open-label, single centre, repeat dose, up- titration study in healthy male and female subjects to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) performance of five prototypes of ezogabine modified release tablet formulations.

The study will consist of a screening period, a treatment phase (consisting of a titration phase, bioavailability phase and food effect phase) and a post-treatment follow-up visit. The study duration from screening to follow up will be approximately 7 weeks. No study procedures will start before informed consent is obtained. Subjects will remain in the clinical unit for the duration of the treatment period (35 days).

Subjects will receive repeat doses of ezogabine for up to 34 days starting at a dose of 100 mg IR TID (300mg TDD) with a standard meal (to be consumed 30 min prior to dosing) for Days 1-3, on days 4-6 subjects will receive 150mg IR TID (450mg TDD). On Day 7 through to the end of the study subjects will receive ezogabine (Mr or IR) at a dose of 600mgTDD.

On Day 7 subjects will enter into a 6-way cross over period to investigate the 5 MR formulations being tested (each at 300mg BID) and the single IR formulation (at 200mg TID). Subjects will receive each formulaition for 4 days and blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be collected up to 24 hours post dose on each 4th day (PK days).

On Day 31 subjects will enter into a food effect phase to investigate the 5 MR formulations being tested (each at 600mg QD). Subjects in this period will have a PK day on Day 33 (following a standard breakfast), and on Day 34 (following a high fat breakfast) to investigate a food effect on the PK profile of ezogabine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Investigational Medicinal Product (MR1), Investigational Medicinal Product (MR2) and Investigational Medicinal Product (MR3) in people with Epilepsy, run by GlaxoSmithKline 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 13 inclusion and 23 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 Jun 2018. 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?

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?

Area under the curve from zero to 24 hours at steady-state of ezogabine (time frame: Days 10, 14, 18, 22, 26 and 30). 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 Jun 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
