  6. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs).

    An AE is the development of an undesirable medical condition or the deterioration of a pre-existing medical condition following or during exposure to a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered causally related to the product. The term AE is used generally to include any AE whether serious or non-serious. A serious AE (SAE) is an AE that fulfills one or more of the following criteria: results in death, is immediately life-threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions; is a congenital abnormality or birth defect; is an important medical event that may jeopardize the participant or may require medical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

    Measured: SAEs were recorded from the signing of informed consent and AEs were recorded from randomisation until the final follow-up visit.

  7. Mean Change From Baseline for Vital Signs of Supine Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic BP (DBP).

    The following variables were collected after the participants had rested in the supine position for at least 5 minutes: SBP and DBP.

    Measured: Day 1 (2, 4 hours post-dose) and Day 2 (24 hours post-dose).

  8. Mean Change From Baseline for Vital Signs in Supine Pulse Rate.

    Vital signs were collected after the participant has rested in the supine position for at least 5 minutes.

    Measured: Day 1 (2, 4 hours post-dose) and Day 2 (24 hours post-dose).

  9. Participants With Significant Findings in 12-Lead Electrocardiography (ECG).

    A 12-lead ECG was obtained after the participant rested in supine position for at least 10 minutes. The study physician was to judge the overall interpretation as normal or abnormal. If abnormal, it was decided as to whether or not the abnormality was clinically significant and the reason for the abnormality was recorded.

    Measured: At screening and at follow-up.

  10. Participants With Clinically Significant Findings in Hematology, Clinical Chemistry and Urinalysis.

    Participants were assessed through each laboratory variables for any significant abnormalities. Hematology assessments included white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and others. Clinical chemistry assessment included testing levels of sodium, potassium, urea, creatinine, albumin, calcium, glucose (fasting) and others. Urinalysis assessment included glucose, protein, blood and microscopy (if positive for blood or protein).

    Measured: At screening, at admission on Day -1 to each treatment period and at follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ticagrelor OD tablet (90 mg single dose) administered with 200 ml of water, Ticagrelor OD tablet (90 mg single dose) administered without water and Ticagrelor OD tablet (90 mg single dose) suspended in water administered via nasogastric tube in people with Bioavailability and Healthy Subjects, run by AstraZeneca 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 16 inclusion and 0 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 Sep 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Aug 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?

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Ticagrelor and Its Active Metabolite AR-C124910XX. (time frame: 0 hours (pre-dose) and post-dose at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours in each treatment period.). 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 29 Sep 2016.
