About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b, Open-Label, Single Sequence, Drug Interaction Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of ASP015K and Methotrexate in Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis

A drug interaction study to evaluate the effect of ASP015K (twice daily) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of once weekly oral methotrexate (MTX).

Read the detailed description

Patients check in on day -1 and remain confined until all the exit procedures are performed on the morning of day 10. Patients to return for 1 post-treatment follow-up visit on day 13.

Patients receive a single dose of methotrexate on day 1 and day 8 and ASP015K (twice daily) on days 3 through 8 plus the morning of day 9.

Being tested
peficitinib, methotrexate
Keywords
ASP015K, Rheumatoid Arthritis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing peficitinib and methotrexate in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Astellas Pharma 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 21 Oct 2024. 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. 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?

Pharmacokinetics of methotrexate (MTX): Area under the concentration-time curve from time of dosing to infinity (AUCinf) (time frame: Days 1 and 8). The study lists 2 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 NCT01754805, 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 21 Oct 2024.
