About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, Open-Label, Randomized, Two-Period Crossover Study to Demonstrate the Bioequivalence of Lamotrigine Dispersible/Chewable Tablets (5mg×5) and Lamotrigine Compressed Tablet (25mg) in Healthy Chinese Male Subjects.

This is a single dose, open-label, randomized, two-period crossover study to demonstrate the bioequivalence of lamotrigine dispersible/chewable tablets (5mg×5) and lamotrigine compressed tablets (25mg) in healthy Chinese male subjects in fasting conditions. The safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of lamotrigine dispersible/chewable tablets will also be assessed.

Read the detailed description

This is a single dose, open-label, randomized, two-period crossover study to demonstrate the bioequivalence of lamotrigine dispersible/chewable tablets (5mg×5) and lamotrigine compressed tablets (25mg) in healthy Chinese male subjects in fasting conditions. 24 healthy Chinese male subjects will be enrolled to provide data from at least 22 evaluable subjects . In Period 1, subjects will be randomized in equal numbers to be dosed with either lamotrigine dispersible/chewable 5mg×5 tablets or lamotrigine compressed tablet 25mg×1. Following a washout of at least 14 days, subjects will be crossed over in Period 2 to receive the treatment that they did not receive in Period 1.

Pharmacokinetic blood samples will be collected over 168 hours post dose. Venous blood (2 ml each) is taken immediately before dosing (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 and 168 hours post dose to determine the lamotrigine concentration in serum. Drug concentration in serum at different time points will be determined for each subject with a validated bioanalytical method using LC/MS/MS method. The main pharmacokinetic parameters such as Cmax, tmax, AUC(0-inf), AUC(0-t), t1/2, λz, CL/F and Vd/F are calculated for subjects using non-compartment analysis method.

Physical examination, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests are conducted at screening and 168 hours after administration of each dose; vital signs are measured at scheduled time; adverse events are recorded throughout the study. Clinically relevant safety measurement values are tabulated to evaluate the safety and tolerability of lamotrigine dispersible/chewable tablet. Safety evaluation lasts up to 168 hours after the second oral administration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity [AUC(0-inf)], including bioequivalence evaluation

    AUC(0-inf) is a measure of systemic drug exposure, which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample. AUC(0-inf) is defined as area under the concentration vs. time curve from zero to infinity.

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours post-dose

  2. Area under the concentration-time curve up to the last time point at which the concentration is above the lower limit of quantification [AUC(0-t)], including bioequivalence evaluation

    AUC(0-t) is a measure of systemic drug exposure, which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample. AUC(0-t) is defined as AUC from time 0 to the last data point above the Lower Limit of Quantification.

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours post-dose

  3. The observed maximum serum drug concentration (Cmax), including bioequivalence evaluation

    Cmax refers to the highest measured drug concentration which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample.

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to reach Cmax (tmax)

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours post-dose

  2. Elimination half-time (t½)

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours post-dose

  3. Elimination rate constant, linear regression according to linear serum drug concentration-time curve

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lamotrigine Dispersible/Chewable tablets 5mg*5 and Lamotrigine Compressed tablet 25mg in people with Epilepsy, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in China.

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 11 inclusion and 13 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 1 Jun 2017. 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 China. 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?

Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity [AUC(0-inf)], including bioequivalence evaluation (time frame: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours post-dose). 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 1 Jun 2017.
