About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Single Center, Single-Dose, Randomized, 4-Way Crossover Study to Assess the Effect of an Antacid on the Bioavailability of Febuxostat After Oral Administration of a 80 mg Febuxostat Extended-Release (XR) Capsule Formulation

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of antacid administration, and its timing, on the bioavailability of a single dose of febuxostat extended-release (XR) 80 mg.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called febuxostat extended-release (XR). Febuxostat XR is being tested to assess if antacids affect how the drug moves throughout the body. This study will look at lab safety and side effects in people who take febuxostat XR.

This cross-over study will enroll approximately 36 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four treatment sequences. All participants will receive the following study medications by the end of the study:

  • Febuxostat XR 80 mg capsules
  • Maalox Advance Regular Strength liquid containing Aluminum Hydroxide 200 mg, Magnesium Hydroxide 200 mg, and Simethicone 20 mg/5 mL or equivalent

All participants will be administered one dose of one or both of the study medications on Day 1 of four separate study periods.

This single-centre trial will be conducted in the United States. The overall time to participate in this study is up to 84 days. Participants will make 5 visits to the clinic including four 4-day periods of confinement to the clinic, and will be contacted by telephone 30 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

  5. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in Vital Signs

    Measured: Day 1 up to 30 days after last dose of drug (Day 31 for each of the 4 periods)

  6. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in Physical Examination Findings

    Measured: Day 1 up to 30 days after last dose of drug (Day 31 for each of the 4 periods)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Febuxostat XR and Maalox Advance Regular Strength liquid in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Takeda 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 7 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 29 Apr 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 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 29 Apr 2016). 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?

Cmax: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration for Febuxostat (time frame: Days 1 at multiple timepoints (up to 48 hours) post-dose). The study lists 8 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 29 Apr 2016.
