About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, Bioequivalence and Food Effect Bioavailability Study in Healthy Volunteers Comparing the Commercial Lumacaftor 200 mg / Ivacaftor 125 mg Combination Film-Coated Tablet (Orkambi®) to the Lumacaftor 200 mg Film-Coated Tablet Formulation, and the Lumacaftor 200 mg Film-Coated Tablet Formulation in the Fasted to Fed State.

The objective of this study is to assess bioequivalence of lumacaftor from Lumacaftor 200 mg Film-Coated Tablet Formulation (Qanatpharma) versus the reference commercial product, Lumacaftor 200 mg /Ivacaftor 125 mg Combination Film-Coated Tablet (Orkambi®) in the fed state, and food-effect bioavailability of Lumacaftor 200 mg Film-Coated Tablet Formulation (Qanatpharma) in the fasted and fed state in healthy, non-smoking, male and non-pregnant female volunteers, 18 to 55 years of age, inclusive.

Read the detailed description

This single-dose, randomized, open-label, three-way crossover, three-period, three-sequence, three-treatment, single-centre, bioequivalence and food-effect study will compare lumacaftor from Lumacaftor 200 mg Film-Coated Tablet test formulation and the commercial product, Lumacaftor 200 mg/Ivacaftor 125 mg Combination Film-Coated Tablet (Orkambi®) under fed conditions, and food-effect bioavailability study of Lumacaftor 200 mg Film-Coated Tablet test formulation from fasted to fed state.

The products will be studied using a crossover design with 39 healthy, non-smoking male and non-pregnant female volunteers being administered an oral dose of 1 x (2 x lumacaftor 200 mg) under fasted and fed conditions and 1 x (2 x lumacaftor 200 mg/ ivacaftor 125 mg) under fed conditions. There will be at least a 14-day washout period between the study periods to avoid carry-over effects of the preceding treatments.

This study is being conducted to support development of a lumacaftor mono-substance treatment for improving cerebral blood flow.

What is being measured

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

  1. The maximal observed plasma concentration (Cmax)

    Serial blood samples for determination of study drug will be collected pre-dose at 0, and post-dose at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours

    Measured: Up to 72 hours post dose in each treatment period

  2. Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 72 hours (AUC72)

    Serial blood samples for determination of study drug will be collected pre-dose at 0, and post-dose at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours

    Measured: Up to 72 hours post dose in each treatment period

  3. Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUCinf)

    Serial blood samples for determination of study drug will be collected pre-dose at 0, and post-dose at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours

    Measured: Up to 72 hours post dose in each treatment period

  4. Time when the maximal plasma concentration is observed (Tmax)

    Serial blood samples for determination of study drug will be collected pre-dose at 0, and post-dose at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours

    Measured: Up to 72 hours post dose in each treatment period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lumacaftor 200 mg/Ivacaftor 125 mg Film-Coated Tablet and Lumacaftor 200 mg Film-Coated Tablet Formulation in people with Healthy Volunteer, run by Qanatpharma Canada LTD at 1 site in Canada.

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 7 inclusion and 29 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 26 Dec 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 Canada. 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?

The maximal observed plasma concentration (Cmax) (time frame: Up to 72 hours post dose in each treatment period). The study lists 4 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 NCT05968612, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Dec 2023.
