About this study

For previous clinical trials, R-flurbiprofen has been prepared in tablet form. In this study R-flurbiprofen, will be available as gelatine capsules.

This study aims to show the bioavailability of R-flurbiprofen when administered in gelatine capsules. The serum availability will be determined by analysis of pharmakokinetic (pK)-blood samples at different time points. To assess the safety of the administered capsules adverse events will be documented.

Analysis of lipid signaling molecules in plasma will be done to assess the role of this molecules as variable for therapeutic effects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the curve (AUC)

    assessment of concentration at baseline (0), 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes and 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours after administration of study medication

    Measured: prior to administration, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes and 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours after administration

  2. Time to maximum concentration (Tmax; hours)

    Measured: prior to administration, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes and 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours after administration

  3. Maximum concentration (Cmax).

    Measured: prior to administration, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes and 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours after administration

  4. Terminal elimination half-life (t1/2)

    Measured: prior to administration, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes and 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours after administration

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of volunteers with serious and Non serious adverse events

    Number and type of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) will be documented at V1 (predose and after administration) and at V3 (follow-up visit 8 to 15 days after administration of study medication)

    Measured: Up to day 15

  2. Analysis of plasma lipid profile

    parallel to pK-Analysis plasma lipid profile will be assessed

    Measured: prior and 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes and 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours after administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing R-flurbiprofen in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Gerd Geisslinger at 1 site in Germany.

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 15 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 11 Sep 2015. 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 Germany. 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 curve (AUC) (time frame: prior to administration, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes and 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours after administration). The study lists 4 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 11 Sep 2015.
