About this study

Official title: A Three Way Sequential, Randomised, Open-Label Study Designed to Evaluate the Single and Multiple-Dose Pharmacokinetics and the Effect of Food on the Single-Dose Pharmacokinetics of Oral Sparsentan Suspension in Healthy Subjects

This single-center, open-label, randomized, single and multiple-dose, 3-way sequential study at 3 dose levels will be performed in healthy subjects. Subjects will be randomized to 1 of the 3 dose levels. In each dose level, subjects will be administered a single dose in the fasted state and then a single dose in the fed state, followed by 14 days of dosing to assess Pharmacokinetics (PK) following multiple dosing.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, open-label, randomized, single- and multiple-dose, 3-way sequential study at 3 dose levels in healthy subjects. For logistical purposes subjects will be admitted to the unit to be dosed in groups of approximately 16 or fewer. Subjects will be randomized into one of the three dose levels. Within each dose level, subjects will be administered a single dose in the fasted state and then a single dose in the fed state, followed by 14 days of dosing to assess PK following multiple dosing.

Subjects will undergo preliminary screening procedures for the study at the screening visit (Day -28 to Day -2). Subjects will be admitted to the clinical unit on the evening prior to investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration (Day -1) and will remain on site until 72 h post-final dose. Subjects will receive a single dose of sparsentan in the fasted state on Period 1, Day 1 (Study day 1) and a single dose of sparsentan in the fed state (high-fat breakfast) on Period 2, Day 1 (Study day 8), followed by multiple doses of sparsentan in the fed state on Period 3, Day 1 to 14 (Study days 12 to 25). On PK sampling days for the multiple dose treatment period (Period 3, Days 7, and 14; Study days 18 and 25), subjects will consume a high-fat breakfast before dosing; on other days, a standard breakfast will be provided.

A follow-up phone call will take place 5 to 7 days post-final dose to ensure the ongoing wellbeing of the subjects.

The number and percentage of subjects with normal and prolonged QT intervals corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's correction (QTcF) and increases in QTcF intervals from baseline within the categories, defined as QTcF interval <=450 millisecond (msec), 451-480 msec, 481-500 msec, >500 msec, increase in QTcF interval from baseline <30 msec, 30-60 msec, >60 msec (based on the International Council on Harmonization [ICH] E14 guideline ) will be summarized at each post-baseline time point by regimen and time point.

    Measured: Study Days 1 to 28

  5. Assessment of Safety and tolerability of sparsentan oral suspension - AEs

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject that occurs either before dosing (referred to as a pre-dose AE) or once a medicinal product has been administered, including occurrences which are not necessarily caused by or related to that product. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are AEs that commence during/after the first dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) or commence before first dose of IMP (ie, a pre-dose AE or existing medical condition) but worsen in intensity during exposure to IMP. The number and percentage of subjects reporting each TEAE will be summarized for both System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT). For summaries by SOC and PT, with the exception of TEAEs by severity and relationship to IMP, the number of subjects and the number of events will be summarized. For summaries by severity and relationship only the number of subjects will be summarized.

    Measured: 2 to 28 days before Study Day 1 until 5 to 7 days post-final dose

  6. Acceptability and key taste attributes of sparsentan oral suspension

    Assess the palatability of the oral suspension using the results from a 9-point scale that rate acceptability of smell, sweetness, bitterness, flavor, mouth feel/texture, grittiness and aftertaste, and overall acceptability for a single dose of an oral suspension of sparsentan in the fasted state. Patient will rate overall liking of the product from a 9-point scale ranging from 1 = Dislike extremely and 9 = Like extremely.

    Measured: Study Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing RE-021, sparsentan in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Travere Therapeutics, Inc. at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 6 inclusion and 35 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 30 Sep 2022. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Assessment of single-dose pharmacokinetics of sparsentan oral suspension dosed in fed and fasted states - Cmax (time frame: Study Days 1 and 8). The study lists 9 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 30 Sep 2022.
