Study to Investigate the Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics and Safety of a Single Oral Repeated Dose of 500 mg Nicotinic Acid as Tablets in Healthy Subjects

December 10, 2010 updated by: Heidelberg University

Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Single-center, 2 Treatment, 3-way Crossover Study to Investigate the Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics and Safety of a Single Oral Repeated Dose of 500 mg Nicotinic Acid as Tablets in Healthy Subjects

The study will be a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-center, 2 treatment,3-way crossover to investigate the pharmacodynamics, i.e. the flush-symptom of a single oral repeated dose of 500 mg nicotinic acid in healthy subjects. Subjects will be randomly allocated to a treatment sequence - AAB, ABA or BAA. The two treatments will be:

  • Treatment A: 500 mg nicotinic acid
  • Treatment B: Placebo

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
18

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 to 45 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Body weight between 50 and 90 kg with a body mass index between 19 and <30 kg/m2
  • No clinically relevant findings in the medical history, laboratory examinations and physical examination, especially with regard to cardiovascular system, liver function test, bilirubin values and the skin
  • No clinical relevant pathological findings in electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Normal blood pressure (BP, syst. 100 to 140 mmHg, diast. 60 to 90 mmHg) and pulse rate (between 50 and 90 beats/min) in sitting position
  • Voluntarily signed informed consent after full explanation of the study to the participant

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Treatment with any other investigational product in the last 60 days before the day of randomization into the study
  • Regular use of medication in the last 60 days before the day of randomization into the study except of oral contraceptives in female participants
  • Treatment in the 60 days before the day of randomization into the study with any drug known to have a well-defined potential for toxicity to a major organ, or any substance which is known to induce or inhibit hepatic drug metabolism (including general anesthetics)
  • Any drug intake (including over-the-counter remedies) in the 2 weeks before the day of randomization into the study, unless the investigator considers a drug intake to be clinically irrelevant for the purpose of this study
  • Any acute or chronic illness or clinically relevant findings in the pre-study examination
  • Presence, history or sequelae of gastrointestinal (e.g. peptic ulcer), liver or kidney disease, or any other condition known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of drugs
  • History of hypersensitivity to the investigational product
  • History or presence of abnormalities of the vascular bed
  • History or presence of a dermatologic disease or skin lesions, particular in the area chosen for flush measurement
  • History of allergy or hypersensitivity to other drugs or to food constituents
  • History of other allergic diseases or hypersensitivity, unless the investigator considers it to be clinically irrelevant for the purpose of this study
  • Blood donation of >400 ml in the 60 days before the day of randomization into the study
  • Smoking
  • Positive result in urine screen for drugs of abuse or in alcohol breath test
  • Known or suspected to be drug-dependent, including consumption of >30 g alcohol per day
  • Pregnancy or lactation

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
May 1, 2005

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.
November 1, 2005

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
