About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, Open-Label, Randomized, Parallel-Group Study to Demonstrate the Bioequivalence of Lamotrigine Dispersible/Chewable Tablet (100mg) and Lamotrigine Compressed Tablet (100mg) in Healthy Chinese Male Subjects

This is an open-label, randomised, parallel-group study to demonstrate the bioequivalence of lamotrigine 100mg in two different formulations, dispersible/chewable tablet and compressed tablet, in healthy subjects under fasting conditions. Subjects will be randomized in equal numbers to be dosed with either lamotrigine dispersible/chewable (Test) 100mg tablet or lamotrigine compressed (Reference) 100mg tablet. Pharmacokinetic blood sampling will be collected over 216 hours post dose. Safety (tolerability) will be observed up to 216 hours post dose. Safety assessments will include regular monitoring of vital signs, ECG's, adverse events (AEs) and safety laboratory tests. A follow-up visit is scheduled within 10-17 days post-dose.

Read the detailed description

This is a single dose, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study to demonstrate the bioequivalence of lamotrigine dispersible/chewable tablet and lamotrigine compressed tablet at 100mg in healthy Chinese male subjects in fasting conditions. Approximate 138 Chinese healthy male subjects will be enrolled in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects will be 18 to 45 years, healthy and body mass index between 19-24 kg/m2 and sign the informed consent.

Having given written informed consent, subjects will be required to undergo a pre-study medical screen within 14 days of the dosing day. Subjects will be admitted on Day 0 (the day before dosing) and will stay in the unit until after the 24-hour post-dose assessments on Day 2. The time that a subject is discharged from the unit may be agreed with unit staff but subjects must return for all designated pharmacokinetic (PK) samples and on scheduled time for observation.

The subjects will be randomized in equal numbers to be dosed under fasting conditions with either lamotrigine dispersible/chewable tablet or lamotrigine compressed tablet. The pharmacokinetic assessment will last 10 days. The blood samples will be collected immediately before dosing (pre-dose) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 and 216 hours post dose for determination of lamotrigine concentration in blood. Safety and tolerability evaluation will be observed up to 216 hours post-dose, including adverse events, vital signs, physical examination, electrocardiogram. All subjects will be required to undergo a follow-up assessment within 10-17 days after receiving the study medication.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lamotrigine Dispersible/Chewable tablet and Lamotrigine Compressed tablet 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 10 inclusion and 17 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 10 May 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 [AUC(0-inf)] of lamotrigine if coefficients of variation (CV)% of λz<=30%, or AUC(0-inf)• λz if CV% of λz >30%, or AUC(0-t) if AUC(0-inf) cannot be accurately determined, 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, 216 hours post-dose). 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?
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 10 May 2017.
