About this study

Official title: A Multiple Dose, Multi-stage Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Colon Tissue Distribution of Cyclosporine Capsules (CyCol®) Compared to Intravenous Cyclosporine in Healthy Male Volunteers

The aim of this Phase I, single centre, multi stage study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and relative colonic mucosal concentrations of cyclosporine capsules (CyCol®) compared to intravenous cyclosporine in healthy male volunteers.

Read the detailed description

This is an open label, multiple-dose, multi-stage pharmacokinetic (PK) study. A maximum of 40 healthy adult male volunteers aged between 18 and 55 years will be enrolled at a single clinical research unit.

For each CyCol® group dosing will last 7 days, whilst the Sandimmun® IV group will have a single dose over 24 hours.

Single dose pharmacokinetics of different doses of CyCol® will be compared to IV Sandimmun®. In addition colonic tissue concentrations will be compared after multiple doses of CyCol® to a single IV dose of Sandimmun®. Concentrations of unchanged cyclosporine and it's metabolites in the faeces will also be explored.

Stage 1 of the study will investigate the 75mg dose (OD and BID) of CyCol® and IV Sandimmun®. Then dependent on results Stages 2 and 3 will investigate either lower (37.5mg) or higher (150mg) dose levels. The dosing regimens chosen for Stages 2 and 3 will be based upon safety and tolerability, systemic exposure and colonic mucosa tissue concentrations observed at other doses.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetic variables for cyclosporine (in whole blood)

    Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from;

    • time zero to the last non-zero concentration (AUC 0-t),
    • time zero extrapolated to infinity (AUC 0-inf),
    • maximum observed concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

  2. Concentrations (ng/g) of cyclosporine and its metabolites (AM1, AM9, AM4N) in colonic mucosa

    Concentrations (ng/g) of cyclosporine and its metabolites (AM1, AM9, AM4N)in colonic mucosal tissue

    Measured: Day 2 or Day 7

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety and Tolerability of CyCol

    Percentage of subjects with clinically significant abnormal results

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sandimmun® IV and CyCol® capsules in people with Healthy, run by Sigmoid Pharma.

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 23 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 19 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Pharmacokinetic variables for cyclosporine (in whole blood) (time frame: Day 1 and Day 7). 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 19 May 2015.
