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

Disposition of a drug depends on absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME). Quantifying the ADME capacity of a patient may help to individualize target exposure by choosing the corresponding dose required for this individual. The large group of drugs eliminated by members of the CYP3A isozyme subfamily accounts for about 50% of all marketed drugs. Co-medication can modulate CYP3A activity 400-fold either by inducing isozyme expression or inhibiting expressed enzyme. Therefore, due to the variability of CYP3A activity, dose requirements of CYP3A substrates vary considerably between individual patients and may even rapidly vary within a patient. There is clinical interest in using CYP3A activity as a biomarker to predict optimal CYP3A drug dosing, improve therapeutic efficacy, and minimize adverse drug effects.

Determination of CYP3A activity is usually done with oral midazolam doses of 2-7.5 mg (phenotyping). Because therapeutic doses have pharmacological effects and can cause sedation, especially if CYP3A is inhibited, a microdosing approach for CYP phenotyping was developed to avoid any pharmacological activity. Oral midazolam pharmacokinetics are linear over a 30,000-fold range and 300 ng doses can reliably predict drug interactions with strong CYP3A inhibitors like ketoconazole.

The primary objective of this trial is to determine CYP3A activity using microdosed midazolam delivered from an oral disintegrating formulation in comparison to an oral midazolam solution. The oral disintegrating formulation is an innovative application form that would facilitate administration of the phenotyping probe in special patient populations.

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

14 years to 46 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy male or female subjects, age of 18 to 50 years, body mass index (BMI) of 18.0 to 29.9 kg/m2

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any intake of a substance known to induce or inhibit drug metabolising enzymes or transport system enzymes within a period of less than 10 times the respective elimination half-life or 3 weeks (whatever is longer).
  • Any participation in a clinical trial within the last four weeks before inclusion.
  • History or clinical evidence of any disease or medical condition, which may interfere with the pharmacokinetics of midazolam or which may increase the risk for toxicity or adverse events.
  • Allergies (except for mild forms of hay fever) or history of hypersensitivity reactions.
