About this study
Official title: A Two-Cohort, Randomised Sequence, Cross-over, Open-label Study to Assess the Effect of a Single Dose of Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (SZC) on the Pharmacokinetics of Tacrolimus and Cyclosporin in Healthy Subjects
This study will be an open-label, randomised sequence, 2-period, 2-cohort, 2-treatment in each cohort, cross-over study in healthy subjects (males and females of non-childbearing potential), performed at a single study centre.
Read the detailed description
The study will comprise:
- A screening period of maximum 28 days;
- Two treatment periods:
- Treatment Period 1 starts with admission to the Clinical Unit on Day -1, followed by dosing on Day 1 with the assigned treatment (A, B, C, or D) as per assigned cohort and treatment sequence, followed by a washout period of at least 14 days.
- Treatment Period 2 starts with admission to Clinical Unit on Day -1, followed by dosing on Day 1 with cross-over treatment as per assigned cohort, followed by a follow-up period of 7 to 10 days.
- A follow-up visit/early termination visit at 7 to 10 days after the last investigation medicinal product (IMP) administration.
Subjects will be assigned to either Cohort 1 (tacrolimus) or to Cohort 2 (cyclosporin). Each cohort will have 2 treatment periods. Subjects in each cohort will be randomly assigned to one of 2 treatment sequences (AB|BA or CD|DC) where,
- Treatment A: Tacrolimus

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
TacrolimusDrug
Each subject in this cohort will receive a single dose of oral capsules of tacrolimus on 2 occasions, once alone and once in combination with oral suspension of SZC. Drug administrations will occur after a 12 hour overnight fast.
CyclosporinDrug
Each subject will receive a single dose of oral capsules of cyclosporin on 2 occasions, once alone and once in combination with oral suspension of SZC. Drug administrations will occur after a 12 hour overnight fast.
Sodium Zirconium CyclosilicateDrug
Each subject will receive single oral doses of SZC with tacrolimus (cohort 1) or cyclosporin (cohort 2) under fasted conditions. The doses will be administered after an overnight fast of at least 12 hours.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Cohort 1 | Experimental | Subjects in Cohort 1 will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive one of the 2 treatment sequences and then cross-over to the other: tacrolimus alone (treatment A) followed by the combination treatment of tacrolimus and SZC (treatment B) or vice versa. Receives: Drug: Tacrolimus; Drug: Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate |
| Cohort 2 | Experimental | Subjects in Cohort 2 will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive one of the 2 treatment sequences and then cross-over to the other: cyclosporin alone (treatment C) followed by the combination treatment of cyclosporin and SZC (treatment D) or vice versa. Receives: Drug: Cyclosporin; Drug: Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate |

Measured: From the time of IMP administration (Day 1) to Follow-up/Early Termination Visit (7-10 days after last IMP administration) [up to 4 weeks]

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Tacrolimus, Cyclosporin and Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate in people with Hyperkalaemia, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in Germany.
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 1 inclusion and 6 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 Apr 2024. 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 Germany. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Apr 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?
Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) (time frame: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose of tacrolimus or cyclosporin). 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 5 Apr 2024.
