January 5, 2011 updated by: VIVUS LLC

A Phase I, Single-Center, Open-Label, Non-Randomized, Two-Cohort Study to Assess the Effect of Age on the Pharmacokinetics of Avanafil And To Determine Avanafil Semen Exposure and the Acute Effect of Avanafil on Sperm Function in Healthy Young Male Subjects Following a Single Oral Dose of 200 mg

The purposes of this study are to:

  • Determine the effect of the study drug on sperm and semen of healthy young male subjects.
  • Determine the effect of age on the amount of study drug in the blood of healthy subjects
  • Learn about the safety of the study drug.
  • Learn how subjects tolerate the study drug.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This single-center, open-label, non-randomized, two-cohort, single-dose pharmacokinetic study will be conducted at a single site in the United States, in which at least 18 young (18-45 years, inclusive) male subjects in Cohort A and 14 elderly (65 years or older) males in Cohort B will be enrolled and dosed to achieve a total of at least 14 completed young subjects and 12 elderly subjects. Seminal fluid and plasma will be collected from Cohort A, whereas only plasma samples will be collected from Cohort B.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

Male

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Plasma pharmacokinetic parameters of avanafil and its metabolites will be evaluated including AUC (0-t), AUC(0-inf), Cmax, fu, t1/2, and tmax; Sperm motility, function and morphology; Avanafil exposure in seminal fluid
Time Frame: pre-dose (baseline) through 24 hours post-dose
pre-dose (baseline) through 24 hours post-dose

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
adverse events (each study visit); laboratory evaluations; electrocardiogram and physical examination; vital signs will be assessed at various times during the study.
Time Frame: pre-dose (baseline) through 24 hours post-dose
pre-dose (baseline) through 24 hours post-dose

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
