About this study

Official title: A Single Centre, Phase I, Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic Profile and Effects on EEG of Single Rising Oral Doses of BIA 2-093 When Given to Healthy Male Adult Volunteers.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of single rising oral doses of BIA 2-093 (proposed doses 20mg, 50mg, 100mg, 200mg, 400mg, 600mg, 900mg and 1200mg) in groups of 8 healthy male adult volunteers.

Read the detailed description

Single centre, Phase I, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study to investigate single rising oral doses of BIA 2-093 up to 1200 mg in sequential groups of eight healthy male adult subjects. Within each group of eight subjects two subjects were randomised to receive placebo and the remaining six subjects were randomised to receive BIA 2-093. No subject was a member of more than one treatment group. Doses of 20mg, 50mg, 100mg, 200mg, 400mg, 600mg, 900mg and 1200mg were investigated in ascending order. Progression to each dose occurred only after the previous dose level was deemed to be safe and well tolerated by the investigator and the sponsor.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BIA 2-093 in people with Epilepsy, run by Bial - Portela C S.A. 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 7 inclusion and 20 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 20 Jul 2016. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Jan 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Total Number of Adverse Events (time frame: up to 20 weeks). 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 20 Jul 2016.
