About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study of the Effect of 5, 10 and 25 mg Daily of YF476 for 14 Days on 24-hour Ambulatory Gastric pH and Plasma Gastrin Concentrations in Healthy Volunteers

The objective of the study was to assess whether the tolerance to the effect of YF476 on gastric pH observed with repeated doses in a previous study in healthy volunteers can be avoided by using smaller doses of YF476.

Read the detailed description

YF476 is a novel, potent and selective gastrin antagonist that inhibits basal and meal-stimulated gastric acid secretion, enhances gastric emptying of a liquid meal and increases lower oesophageal sphincter pressure in animals. In a placebo- and ranitidine-controlled, crossover study in healthy volunteers, single doses of 5, 25 and 100mg of YF476 increased gastric pH; the effect was dose-dependent in magnitude and duration and compared favourably with that of ranitidine 150mg. In a placebo- and omeprazole-controlled, parallel-group study in healthy volunteers, 25 and 100mg of YF476 twice daily for 7 days, did not significantly affect gastric pH unlike omeprazole 20mg daily for 7 days. YF476 and omeprazole both increased plasma gastrin concentrations. Single and repeated doses of YF476 were well tolerated.

What participants receive

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

  • YF476Drug

    There were 4 treatments: 3 dose levels of YF476 (5mg, 10mg, 25 mg) and placebo.

    Each treatment taken by mouth once daily for 14 days (Study Days 1-14). Each subject took 1 of the 4 treatments.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacodynamic parameters: gastric pH and plasma gastrin

    On Study Days 1, 7 and 14, ambulatory gastric pH recorded continuously from 0.5h before dosing until 24h after dosing. Subjects dosed between 0900-0930h. Standard meals and a drink (decaffeinated) taken at 4, 9, 13 and 22 h after dosing. Water (150mL) given at 2, 6, 8 and 11 h after dosing.

    On Study Days 1, 7 and 14, blood samples (4mL) taken via a cannula for assay of plasma gastrin at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 h after dosing.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Clinically relevant changes from baseline in safety assessments

    Physical examination, ECG and safety tests of blood/urine at screening and at follow up.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Numbers of adverse events

    Adverse events throughout study.

    Measured: 8 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 8 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 14 May 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?

Pharmacodynamic parameters: gastric pH and plasma gastrin (time frame: 8 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?
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 14 May 2012.
