Pharmacokinetics of Eplerenone Tablet

January 31, 2017 updated by: Biolab Sanus Farmaceutica

Phase I Trial Comparing Eplerenone Pharmacokinetics (Tablet) in Different Dosages: 25mg, 50mg,100 mg Per Day and 100 mg (One 50 mg Tablet Every 12 Hours).

This is a Phase I, open-label, randomized, parallel trial to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of Eplerenone tablet at different dosages (25 mg once daily, 50 mg once daily, 100 mg (2 tablets of 50 mg) once daily and 50 mg twice daily). Sample size is 96 participants (24 per treatment group), male or female, aged between 18 and 50 years-old.

Primary objective is to evaluate pharmacokinetics of Eplerenone tablet at different dosages, and secondary objective is to evaluate safety and tolerability of the investigational product.

Study overall duration is approximately 12 weeks, including enrollment and follow-up visits. Participants will be admitted for a period of 36 hours, when investigational product will be administered, and blood samples, at pre-determined time periods, will be collected for pharmacokinetics.

Primary endpoint is to obtain pharmacokinetics parameters. Additionally, safety will be assessed by adverse events occurrence and laboratory exams evaluation.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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

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

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.

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, 2016

Primary Completion (ANTICIPATED)

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.
