About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-label, Randomized, Three-period Cross-over Study Evaluating the Effect of Cyclosporine on the Pharmacokinetics of Eltrombopag in Healthy Adult Subjects

A drug-drug interaction study between eltrombopag and cyclosporine is being conducted to support the use of these drugs together in subjects, such as those with severe aplastic anemia or immune thrombocytopenia purpura. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of cyclosporine on the pharmacokinetics of eltrombopag. This is a Phase I, open-label, randomized, three-period cross-over study in healthy adult subjects. The study consists of a screening visit and three treatment periods. All subjects will be randomized to receive one of the three treatments in each treatment period separated by washout periods of 3-10 days. The total duration of a subject's participation in the study from screening to final discharge is up to approximately 6 weeks (assuming 3 day washouts between treatment periods). Approximately 39 healthy subjects will be enrolled with the goal of completing at least 10 subjects per sequence (total 30).

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma eltrombopag area under time-concentration curve from time zero to infinity (AUC[0-inf])

    Measured: Pre-dose and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose in each treatment period

  2. Plasma eltrombopag maximum observed concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Pre-dose and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose in each treatment period

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Composite of plasma eltrombopag pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters

    PK parameters include: area under time-concentration curve from time zero to the time of last quantifiable concentration (AUC[0-t]), the percentage of AUC(0-inf) obtained by extrapolation (%AUCex), time to occurrence of Cmax (tmax), terminal phase half-life (t1/2), and apparent oral clearance (CL/F)

    Measured: Pre-dose and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose in each treatment period

  2. Vital signs assessment

    Vital signs will include temperature, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiratory rate

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks

  3. Composite clinical laboratory assessments including hematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis parameters

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks

  4. Number of participants with adverse events (AEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product

    Measured: From the start of study treatment until the end of treatment period 3 (assessed up to 18 days)

  5. Electrocardiogram (ECG) assessment

    Single 12-lead ECG will be obtained following eltrombopag dosing using an ECG machine that automatically calculates the heart rate and measures PR, QRS, QT, and corrected QT interval (QTc)

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Eltrombopag and Cyclosporine in people with Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Idiopathic, run by GlaxoSmithKline 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 7 inclusion and 16 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 13 Nov 2017. 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?

Plasma eltrombopag area under time-concentration curve from time zero to infinity (AUC[0-inf]) (time frame: Pre-dose and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose in each treatment period). The study lists 2 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 NCT02281370, 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 13 Nov 2017.
