What is being measured

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

  1. Compare plasma and urine PK profiles of TTX following doses of Lyophilized and Injectable Liquid TTX

    PK timepoints occurred at 0,0.33,0.67,1, 1.5,2,4,6,8,10,12,14 and 24 hours after first dose on Days 1 \& 2. Liquid and Lyophilized formulations will be assessed using ANOVA of the T-R ratio based on log-transformed AUC and Cmax values.

    Measured: 26 timepoints over 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assess the safety and tolerability of TTX following the administration of Lyophilized and Liquid TTX

    Safety was assessed through the collection of AE's, concomitant medications, clinical laboratory assessments, neurological assessments and vital signs. Where summary statistics are presented, these will include n, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum.

    Measured: signage of the ICF to Day 10

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tetrodotoxin in people with Healthy, run by Wex Pharmaceuticals Inc. 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 8 Feb 2012. 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?

Compare plasma and urine PK profiles of TTX following doses of Lyophilized and Injectable Liquid TTX (time frame: 26 timepoints over 48 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 8 Feb 2012.
