About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Randomised, Two Part, Two Treatment Crossover Study in Healthy Subjects to Assess the Pharmacokinetics of Savolitinib When Administered Alone and in Combination With Famotidine

This will be an open-label, randomised, 2 part (Part A and Part B), 2 treatment (savolitinib alone or in combination with famotidine), crossover study in healthy, non Japanese, male subjects, performed at a single study centre.

Read the detailed description

Parts A and B will each have 2 Periods (Period 1 and Period 2) with a crossover design. Part B will be conducted only if results of Part A suggest a clinically meaningful effect of famotidine on savolitinib pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters. In both parts subjects will be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive one of the 2 treatment sequences: savolitinib alone first followed by crossover to the combination treatment of savolitinib+famotidine, or the reverse sequence. Subjects will be admitted for 4 days from one day before the first dose of the study drug and discharged 2 days after. There will be a washout period (no study treatment) of 14 days between the 2 Periods. The essential difference between the 2 parts is that in the combination treatment, famotidine will be administered 2 hours before savolitinib in Part A and 6 hours before savolitinib in Part B. A given subject will receive a total of 1 dose of famotidine and 2 doses of savolitinib during the study.

In this 2 part study, 16 subjects will be randomised in each part to ensure at least 14 evaluable subjects at the end of the last study period. If Part B is conducted, a total of 32 subjects overall are planned to be enrolled in the study. Additional subjects may be enrolled to ensure 14 evaluable subjects in each part if more than 2 subjects are deemed non evaluable.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Savolitinib and Famotidine in people with Solid Tumours, run by AstraZeneca 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 6 inclusion and 41 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 Jul 2020. 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?

Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) ratio (time frame: At pre-dose, and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48 hours post-dose on Day 1-3 and Day 16-18). 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 7 Jul 2020.
