About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Sequential-Panel, Multiple Repeat Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of TAK-438 in Healthy Non-Japanese Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of TAK-438 in healthy, non-Japanese men male subjects following a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, sequential panel, multiple-dose schedule.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-438. TAK-438 is being tested to find a safe and well-tolerated dose. This study looked at pharmacokinetic (effect of the body on the drug) and pharmacodynamic properties (effect of the drug on the body) as well as look at lab results and side effects in people who took TAK-438. This study was designed as a randomized, sequential-panel, multiple repeat dose study.

The study population consisted of 4 Cohorts with 12 participants in each Cohort; with 9 participants randomized to receive a single dose of TAK-438, and 3 participants to receive placebo. Participants in each Cohort received a single dose of study drug once daily after a 10-hour fast. The starting dose was 10 mg followed by administrations of 20, 40, and 30 mg.

This single-centre trial was conducted in the United Kingdom. The overall time to participate in this study was up to 37 days. Participants made 2 visits to the clinic for screening, one 11-day period of confinement to the clinic, and 2 further visits after the confinement period. All participants were contacted by telephone 7 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TAK-438 in people with Erosive Esophagitis(EE) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), run by Takeda 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 2014. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

AUC(0-tlqc): Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration for TAK-438 and TAK-438 metabolites M-I, M-II, M-III and M-IV-Sul (time frame: Days 1 and 7). The study lists 25 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 NCT02141711, 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 19 May 2014.
