About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Single and Multiple Doses of Epanova® in Chinese Healthy Subjects Living in China

The purpose of this study is to explore the safety, tolerability, and PK of single and multiple doses of Epanova in healthy male and female Chinese subjects and to allow comparison of these parameters with the Western population studied to date.

Read the detailed description

This is a single centre, open-label, single- and multiple-dose, PK study in Chinese healthy subjects. Approximately 14 subjects will receive a single oral dose of Epanova 4 g followed by a 72-hour washout period, and then receive Epanova 4 g orally once daily for 14 consecutive days. Subjects will undergo screening evaluations to determine eligibility within 4 weeks (28 days) prior to the first dose of investigational product (IP). Subjects will be admitted to the clinical pharmacology unit approximately 48 hours prior to the first dosing (Day -2) and will stay at the unit until at least 72 hours (Day 20) after their last dose of IP (Day 17). Blood samples will be collected for PK analyses. Subjects will be monitored closely for adverse events throughout the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Epanova in people with Healthy Subjects, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 11 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 5 Jul 2018. 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 China. 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?

1. Plasma concentrations versus time profile of EPA and DHA (time frame: Blood sample will be collected on Day-1, Day1(-1h, -5min Pre-dose and 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 7.5h, 9h, 12h, 16h Post-dose),Day2,3,4,7,11,14,16,and Day17 (-5min Pre-dose, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 7.5h, 9h, 12h, 16h Post-dose), Day18,19 and Day20). The study lists 6 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 5 Jul 2018.
