About this study

Primary Objective To determine if colestipol hydrochloride tablets can accelerate the elimination of teriflunomide. Teriflunomide will be administered for 14 days followed by colestipol dosing of 11 days. Total duration of the study is 40 days.

Secondary Objectives To collect information on the pattern of side effects with use of colestipol hydrochloride after teriflunomide administration and to determine the best duration of therapy needed for adequate elimination

Read the detailed description

participants will be followed for 40 days to allow for time to administer a loading dose of teriflunomide and observe the elimination of that drug using colestipol hcl.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Outcome Measures: Teriflunomide Concentrations at Day 28

    After receiving 14 days of teriflunomide, participants will take 11 days of colestipol to wash out the teriflunomide (measuring the levels of teriflunomide in the blood at each visit)

    Measured: 28 days after the start in the study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary Outcome Measure: Mean Percentage Change of Serum Teriflunomide Levels Percentage Change of Teriflunomide Concentrations at Day 8, Day 14, Day 26 ad Day 36 Following Administration of Colestipol Hydrochloride Tablets.

    The last blood draw will be about 50 days from the start of the study

    Measured: duration of study about 50 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing teriflunomide and Colestipol in people with Teriflunomide Elimination and Healthy Volunteers, run by Derrick Scott Robertson 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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2020. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Jul 2019). 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?

Primary Outcome Measures: Teriflunomide Concentrations at Day 28 (time frame: 28 days after the start in the study). 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 3 Apr 2020.
