What is being measured

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

  1. Measure of blood and urine levels of varespladib in subjects with renal impairment in comparison to subjects with normal renal function

    Measured: PK samples will be collected predose and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours postdose

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety measures to include adverse events and changes in clinical laboratory results

    Measured: From admistration of study drug through follow-up on Day 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing varespladib methyl in people with Renal Impairment, run by Anthera Pharmaceuticals at 3 sites 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of efficacy). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Measure of blood and urine levels of varespladib in subjects with renal impairment in comparison to subjects with normal renal function (time frame: PK samples will be collected predose and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours postdose). 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 20 Mar 2012.
