About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Single Rising Oral Doses of YF476, a Novel, Potent and Selective Gastrin/Cholecystokinin-B Antagonist, in Healthy Male Volunteers

The objectives of the study were:

  • To assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of YF476 in healthy volunteers.
  • To select a dose or doses of YF476 for detailed pharmacodynamic studies in healthy volunteers.
Read the detailed description

YF476 is clearly a potent and selective gastrin/CCK-B antagonist and should inhibit basal and meal-stimulated gastric acid secretion and enhance gastric emptying of a liquid meal in man. Therefore YF476 might benefit patients with reflux oesophagitis. The compound has been remarkably well tolerated in animal toxicity studies at doses well in excess of the projected therapeutic dose in patients, and merits first administration to healthy volunteers. That study using the oral route of administration is described here. Extrapolation from data obtained with pentagastrin in animals suggest that single doses of less than 1mg of YF476 should be active in man. However, extrapolation from data obtained in comparative studies with the H2-antagonists and with omeprazole in animals suggest that the therapeutic dose in patients with reflux oesophagitis will be larger, in the region of 10mg. A range of single doses will be used in this study. The maximum dose will be 10 times more than the expected therapeutic dose.

What participants receive

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

  • YF476Drug

    Two groups of six subjects received single rising oral doses of YF476 capsules or matching placebo. Each subject received 2 doses of YF476 and 1 dose of placebo. 4 subjects received active and 2 placebo at each dose level, as follows:

    Group A YF476 0.5, 25 and 100mg by mouth Group B YF476 5.0, 50 and 100mg by mouth

    Groups A \& B were dosed alternately, at weekly intervals

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinically relevant changes from baseline in safety assessments

    Physical examination, ECG and safety tests of blood and urine at screening and at 24 hours and 7 days after dosing. ECG, blood pressure and heart rate during study period.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Numbers of adverse events

    Adverse events during study period and at follow-up.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  3. Pharmacokinetic parameters: Cmax, Tmax, AUC 0-24 h, T1/2

    Blood samples (10 mL) for assay of YF476 at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours after dosing.

    Urine collection: 0-6, 6-12 and 12-24 hours after dosing.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing YF476 in people with Reflux Oesophagitis, run by Trio Medicines Ltd. at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 9 inclusion and 15 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 24 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 Kingdom. 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?

Clinically relevant changes from baseline in safety assessments (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01538784, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Feb 2012.
