About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Bioequivalence Study of Naltrexone SR/Bupropion SR Combination Trilayer Tablets From Two Manufacturers in Healthy Subjects

This is a Phase 1, open-label, randomized, single-dose, 2-way crossover study in healthy adult subjects to assess the bioequivalence of naltrexone SR/bupropion SR combination trilayer tablets prepared at two different manufacturing sites. The pharmacokinetics of the two drug products will be evaluated separately in the fed and fasted state.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cmax

    Maximum observed plasma concentration

    Measured: 0-96 hours post-dose

  2. AUC(0-t)

    Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 hour to the time of the last quantifiable concentration

    Measured: 0-96 hours post-dose

  3. AUC(0-inf)

    Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 hour extrapolated to infinity

    Measured: 0-96 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Reference naltrexone 8 mg SR/bupropion 90 mg SR combination trilayer tablets (2 tablets) and Test naltrexone 8 mg SR/bupropion 90 mg SR combination trilayer tablets (2 tablets) in people with Healthy, run by Orexigen Therapeutics, Inc at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 18 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 Dec 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 States. 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?

Cmax (time frame: 0-96 hours post-dose). The study lists 3 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 Dec 2014.
