About this study

Official title: A Study of the Pharmacokinetic and Safety Profile of QID Dosing of Mibefradil in Normal Human Volunteers

The objective of the study is to determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of a 7 day course of oral mibefradil given four times a day in healthy volunteers. This is a dose escalation study in which the total daily dose of mibefradil will be increased with each cohort.

Read the detailed description

This study will establish the safety, detailed pharmacokinetics, and, possibly, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ascending doses of mibefradil administered four times a day (QID) in healthy volunteers. The knowledge gained will then guide the details of a study of Interlaced Therapy™ in patients with recurrent High Grade Glioma (HGG). Non-clinical studies are currently on-going in the efficacy of Interlaced Therapy™ in ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, and intracranial malignancy.

What participants receive

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

  • mibefradilDrug

    Also called Posicor®, mibefradil dihyrdochloride, RO 40-5967

    25 mg tablets for oral administration given for 7 days at a total daily dose beginning at 100 mg per day divided into four doses. Doses will be incremented in successive cohorts by 25 mg/day up to 400 mg/day.

  • PlaceboOther

    Also called sugar pill

    1 out of 6 patients per cohort will receive placebo tablets identical in appearance and number to the active mibefradil arm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the safety of a 7-day course of oral mibefradil in four divided daily doses in normal healthy volunteers.

    Safety will be assessed by clinical laboratory tests, physical examinations, vital sign measurements, continuous, real time, 3-lead ECG monitoring, concomitant medication documentation and adverse event monitoring.

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Steady State Cmax of Mibefradil

    Pharmacokinetics assessments will include the determination of plasma concentrations of mibefradil and its major metabolite. Blood samples will be drawn on Day 1: pre-dose 1, 30 minutes, 1 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr, pre-dose 2, pre-dose 3, pre-dose 4; Day 2: pre-dose 1, pre-dose 3; Day 3: pre-dose 1, pre-dose 3; Day 4: pre-dose 1, 30 minutes, 1 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr, pre-dose 2, pre-dose 3; Day 5: pre-dose 1, pre-dose 3; Day 6: pre-dose 1, pre-dose 3; and Day 7: pre-dose 1, pre-dose 3, pre-dose 4, 30 minutes, 1 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr, 5 hr, 7 hr, 9 hr after dosing.

    Measured: daily for 7 days

  2. Half Life of Mibefradil

    Pharmacokinetics assessments will include the determination of plasma concentrations of mibefradil and its major metabolite. Blood samples will be drawn on Day 1: pre-dose 1, 30 minutes, 1 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr, pre-dose 2, pre-dose 3, pre-dose 4; Day 2: pre-dose 1, pre-dose 3; Day 3: pre-dose 1, pre-dose 3; Day 4: pre-dose 1, 30 minutes, 1 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr, pre-dose 2, pre-dose 3; Day 5: pre-dose 1, pre-dose 3; Day 6: pre-dose 1, pre-dose 3; and Day 7: pre-dose 1, pre-dose 3, pre-dose 4, 30 minutes, 1 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr, 5 hr, 7 hr, 9 hr after dosing.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing mibefradil in people with Healthy, run by Cavion, 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 8 inclusion and 19 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 Apr 2019. 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?

Determine the safety of a 7-day course of oral mibefradil in four divided daily doses in normal healthy volunteers. (time frame: 7 days). 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 Apr 2019.
