About this study
Official title: Pharmacokinetic Properties of Acyclovir
The objective of this present study was to asses the pharmacokinetic properties of acyclovir tablet from new product formulation (PT. Kimia Farma (Persero) Tbk) to its innovator product, Zovirax® tablet (Glaxo Wellcome S.A., Aranda, Spain)
Read the detailed description
Twenty-eight healty subjects were given a single dose of acyclovir tablet or Zovirax® in dosage form 200 mg and 400mg with 240 mL of water. Then the blood samples for acyclovir was drawn and analyzed using LCMS/MS. All subjects sample plasma were analyzed for pharmacokinetic evaluation

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Acyclovir 200 MG, Acyclovir 400 MG and Zovirax 200 MG Tablet in people with Drug Use, run by PT. Kimia Farma (Persero) Tbk at 1 site in Indonesia.
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 4 inclusion and 13 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 9 Feb 2023. 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 Indonesia. 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.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Feb 2023). 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?
Pharmacokinetics Parameter (time frame: before dosing (0 h) and at 15, 30, 45 minutes, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 24 hours after dosing). 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?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04988646, which also lists 13 linked publications.
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 9 Feb 2023.
