About this study

Official title: Relative Bioavailability of Tebipenem (SPR994) Crushed Tablet Formulation Administered by Nasogastric Tube in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to measure the amount of the antibiotic, tebipenem (SPR994) that is bioavailable after crushing the tablet and administering through a feeding tube with and without tube feeds.

Read the detailed description

This study will enroll 12 healthy volunteers and will take place in the Clinical Research Center at Hartford Hospital. Each volunteer will receive 2 doses (~22h washout period between doses) and will be randomly assigned to three treatment groups:

  1. intact tebipenem 600mg dose (2 300mg tablets) taken orally; 2) a crushed tebipenem 600mg dose (2 300mg tablets) suspended in water and administered via the NGT; 3) a crushed tebipenem 600mg dose (2 300mg tablets) suspended in water and administered via a nasogastric tube with concurrent enteral tube feeds (run for 2h before dose and 4h post-dose). Crushed tablets will be administered by syringe through the nasogastric tube. An additional 150ml of water will be used to rinse out any remaining drug in syringe and administered to the volunteers to ensure delivery of the entire dose.
Being tested
Tebipenem tablet form, Tube feeds

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Crushed Tebipenem Tablet with Tube feedsExperimentalCrushed tebipenem tablets will be administered by syringe through the nasogastric tube and flushed with water to ensure all drug is passed through. Subjects will also receive concurrent enteral tube feeds (feeds run for 2h before dose and 4h post-dose).
Receives: Drug: Tebipenem tablet form; Other: Tube feeds
Whole Tebipenem TabletExperimentalTebipenem tablet will be swallowed whole without crushing.
Receives: Drug: Tebipenem tablet form
Crushed Tebipenem Tablet without Tube feedsExperimentalCrushed tebipenem tablets will be administered by syringe through the nasogastric tube and flushed with water to ensure all drug is passed through.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tebipenem drug exposure

    Tebipenem total and free blood concentrations following the tebipenem dose (intact)

    Measured: 8 hours

  2. Tebipenem drug exposure

    Tebipenem total and free blood concentrations following the tebipenem dose (crushed and administered via NGT)

    Measured: 8 hours

  3. Tebipenem drug exposure

    Tebipenem total and free blood concentrations following the tebipenem dose (crushed and administered with tube feeds via NGT)

    Measured: 8 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tebipenem tablet form and Tube feeds in people with Relative Bioavailability, run by Hartford Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 20 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 28 Feb 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 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?

Tebipenem drug exposure (time frame: 8 hours). 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 28 Feb 2024.
