About this study
A Phase 1, open-label, single-arm study with two single doses of lofexidine and multiple doses of naltrexone in healthy adult subjects to determine the effect of naltrexone on the single dose pharmacokinetics of the oral lofexidine formulation.
Read the detailed description
Subjects will be confined to an inpatient facility for a total of 14 nights and 15 days. Subjects who successfully complete screening will report to the inpatient facility (Day -1). At Day 1 all subjects will receive the first single, oral dose of 0.4 mg lofexidine HCl (two 0.2 mg tablets) dosed with 240 mL of water (no food). The lofexidine dose will be followed by a 74-hour interval before beginning naltrexone daily dosing on Day 4 .The first naltrexone administration on Day 4 will be at a dose of approximately 25 mg QD, with subsequent doses on Days 5 to 13 at 50 mg QD. On Day 11, the second single dose of lofexidine (0.4 mg) will be administered and followed by the daily administration of the naltrexone dose (50 mg). The daily administration of naltrexone dose (50 mg) will continue on Day 12 and Day 13.After each administration of lofexidine on Day 1 and Day 11, fingerstick blood samples will be collected for lofexidine pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis before dosing and after dosing at multiple time points.Safety will be assessed by recording adverse events (AEs), measuring vital signs (blood pressure and pulse rate) and clinical laboratory tests (chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis), recording 12-lead safety and Holter electrocardiograms (ECGs), and performing physical exams.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Lofexidine + NaltrexoneDrug
Also called Lofexidine HCL, Naltrexone HCL
Lofexidine HCl (two 0.2 mg tablets) will be administered as a single oral dose (0.4 mg) on Day 1 and on Day 11.Commercially available naltrexone HCL tablets will be administered as a single oral 25 mg dose on Day 4 and as a single oral 50 mg dose on Days 5 through 13. On Day 11 administration of both naltrexone and lofexidine will occur. Dose administration times for each drug are to be standardized for all treatment days. The scheduling of the naltrexone dose is to be standardized so that the naltrexone dose is administered 2 hours after the lofexidine dose on Day 11 when both drugs are administered.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
PK Profile for Lofexidine only: Cmax, Tmax, AUC, AUC 0-24, AUC 0-t, AUC 0-infinity, λz, and CL/F
Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize lofexidine concentrations at each time point and PK parameters by treatment phase.Comparisons will be made between Day 1 and Day 11 for Cmax, AUC0-24, AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, Tmax, and t1/2
Measured: Day 1 through Day 11
PK Profile for Naltrexone only: Cmax, AUC0-24, Tmax, and CL/F
Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize naltrexone concentrations at each time point and PK parameters by treatment phase. Comparisons will be made between Day 10 and Day 11 for Cmax, AUC0-24, and Tmax at steady-state.
Measured: Day 4 through Day 11
Secondary outcomes (1)
All Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) will be reported throughout the study and will include all subjects who receive at least 1 dose of study medication.
Treatment phases include lofexidine alone/washout [Days 1-3]; naltrexone alone [Days 4-10]; and lofexidine plus naltrexone [Days 11-14]
Measured: Day 1 through 14

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Lofexidine + Naltrexone in people with Healthy, run by USWM, LLC (dba US WorldMeds) 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 15 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 26 Oct 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?
PK Profile for Lofexidine only: Cmax, Tmax, AUC, AUC 0-24, AUC 0-t, AUC 0-infinity, λz, and CL/F (time frame: Day 1 through Day 11). 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?
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 26 Oct 2017.
