About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Phase 3, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics Following a Single Oral Dose of TAK-536 in Pediatric Patients 6 to Less Than 16 Years of Age With Hypertension

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of a single dose of TAK-536 (azilsartan) in pediatric patients aged 6 to less than 16 years with hypertension.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called azilsartan. Azilsartan was being tested to evaluate how it is processed by the body (pharmacokinetics). This study looked at lab results in pediatric participants who took azilsartan.

The study enrolled 6 patients. Participants were assigned to study medication dose by body weight as follows:

  • Body Weight <50 kg: azilsartan 5 mg
  • Body Weight ≥50 kg: azilsartan 10 mg

All participants took a single oral dose of azilsartan on Day 1 of the study.

This multi-center trial was conducted in Japan. The overall time to participate in this study was 17 days. Participants made multiple visits to the clinic, and were contacted by telephone on Day 6 and Day 15 after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

What is being measured

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

  1. AUC(0-24): Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to Time 24 Hours of TAK-536 (Azilsartan)

    AUC(0-24) is a measure of total plasma exposure to the drug from time 0 to 24 hours post-dose, calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule.

  19. Number of Participants Who Experienced Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs

    An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (example, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. Treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or congenital anomaly; or a medically important event.

    Measured: Up to 15 Days

  20. Percentage of Participants With Remarkable Findings of Clinical Concern From Baseline in Vital Signs

    Vital signs are defined as sitting blood pressure, sitting pulse rate and temperature.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 2

  21. Percentage of Participants With Remarkable Findings of Clinical Concern From Baseline in Body Weight

    Measured: Baseline and Day 2

  22. Percentage of Participants With Remarkable Findings of Clinical Concern From Baseline in Resting 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG)

    A resting 12-lead ECG was recorded. The investigator or subinvestigator (or a qualified physician at the study site) interpreted the ECG results.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 2

  23. Percentage of Participants With Remarkable Findings of Clinical Concern From Baseline in Laboratory Test Results

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Azilsartan in people with Pediatric Hypertension, run by Takeda at 3 sites in Japan.

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 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 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 3 sites in Japan. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 7 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?

AUC(0-24): Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to Time 24 Hours of TAK-536 (Azilsartan) (time frame: Pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 24 hours) post-dose). The study lists 23 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 NCT02451150, 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 7 Apr 2016.
