About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Two-way Cross-over Comparative Bioavailability Study of 300 mg Trazodone Hydrochloride Containing New Polymer vs. 300 mg Trazodone Hydrochloride Containing Contramid® Prolonged-release Tablets Under Fasting Conditions

This study was designed to investigate the bioequivalence of the test and reference products when administered as single oral doses in two consecutive study periods, under fasting conditions.

Read the detailed description

A single 300 mg dose of the test (T) and of the reference (R) products will be administered to the study subjects in two consecutive periods, according to a randomised 2-sequence cross-over design. A wash-out interval of at least 10 days will elapse between the two administrations. The two investigational products will be administered with 240 mL of still mineral water on day 1 of the two study periods, at 08:00±1 h after an overnight fasting.

To investigate the bioequivalence of the test and reference products when administered as single oral doses in two consecutive study periods, under fasting conditions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Trazodone HCl - new polymer and Trazodone HCl - Contramid® in people with Healthy, run by Aziende Chimiche Riunite Angelini Francesco S.p.A at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 12 inclusion and 15 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 29 Nov 2021. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Cmax (time frame: At pre-dose (0) and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 48, 72, 96 hours post-dose). The study lists 3 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 29 Nov 2021.
