About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multicentre Study to Evaluate Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Efficacy of Zamicastat as Adjunctive Therapy in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)

This Study evaluates the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of different zamicastat doses in Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients to find the most promising therapeutic dosage range for the treatment of PAH disease

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, multi-centre study in patients with PAH who are currently on stable treatment with at least one PAH medication. It is planned to evaluate the PK profile (24 hour profile and trough levels) and the safety, tolerability and efficacy of four different zamicastat doses. Each patient will start treatment with the lowest dose (50 mg zamicastat once daily) and the dose will be up-titrated to the individual highest tolerated dose (HTD) i.e. up to 200 mg zamicastat once daily.

A data safety monitoring board (DSMB) will periodically review the safety data and will issue a recommendation if the doses can be used as planned.

This study will consist of:

  • A screening period, 5 to 12 days: visit V1
  • Up to four dose finding periods, 14 days each:
  • Dose A (50 mg zamicastat once daily): visits A1, A2 and A3
  • Dose B (100 mg zamicastat once daily): visits B2 and B3
  • Dose C (150 mg zamicastat once daily): visits C2 and C3
  • Dose D (200 mg zamicastat once daily): visits D2 and D3
  • Maintenance period, 42 days: maintenance period visit (MPV)1, MPV2 and MPV3
  • Follow-up (FU) period, 14 to 28 days: visits FU (down-titration) and FU

What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under the Curve 0-24h (AUC0-24h) (ng.h/mL) - 50 mg

    This PK parameters (24-hour profile) for zamicastat and its metabolites will be derived after a single dose of 50 mg zamicastat

    Measured: Day 1 (0 hours and then 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours after investigational medicinal product (IMP) intake)

  2. Area Under the Curve 0-24h (AUC0-24h) (ng.h/mL/mg) - HTD

    This PK parameter (24-hour profile) for zamicastat and its metabolites will be derived at steady-state at the individual highest tolerated dose (HTD)

    Measured: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours after IMP intake

  3. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) (ng/mL) - 50 mg

    This PK parameters (24-hour profile) for zamicastat and its metabolites will be derived after a single dose of 50 mg zamicastat

    Measured: Day 1 (0 hours and then 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours after IMP intake)

  4. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) (ng/mL/mg) - HTD

    This PK parameter (24-hour profile) for zamicastat and its metabolites will be derived at steady-state at the individual highest tolerated dose (HTD)

    Measured: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours after IMP intake

  5. Time Until Cmax (Tmax) (h) - 50 mg

    This PK parameters (24-hour profile) for zamicastat and its metabolites will be derived after a single dose of 50 mg zamicastat

    Measured: Day 1 (0 hours and then 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours after IMP intake)

  6. Time Until Cmax (Tmax) (h) - HTD

    This PK parameter (24-hour profile) for zamicastat and its metabolites will be derived at steady-state at the individual highest tolerated dose (HTD)

    Measured: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours after IMP intake

  7. Minimum Plasma Concentration at the End of the Dosing Interval (Cmin,SS) (ng/mL/mg) - HTD

    This PK parameter (24-hour profile) for zamicastat and its metabolites will be derived at steady-state at the individual highest tolerated dose (HTD). Following multiple administrations of the HTD of zamicastat to PAH patients at MPV3, PK concentrations and parameter summaries for only the 50 mg, 100 mg and 200 mg dose levels are presented and discussed, as the only subject receiving the 150 mg HTD level had a major protocol deviation documented, impacting the reliability of their PK data.

    Measured: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours after IMP intake

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Oral zamicastat in people with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, run by Bial - Portela C S.A. at 13 sites in 7 countries.

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 10 inclusion and 16 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 15 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, Austria, Germany and 2 more countries. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 15 Oct 2024). 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?

Area Under the Curve 0-24h (AUC0-24h) (ng.h/mL) - 50 mg (time frame: Day 1 (0 hours and then 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours after investigational medicinal product (IMP) intake)). The study lists 7 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 15 Oct 2024.
