A Food Effect Study of 60mg ER Torsemide

April 17, 2018 updated by: Sarfez Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

A Randomized, Balanced, Single Dose, Two-treatment (Fed vs. Fasting), Two-period, Two-sequence, Crossover Study to Evaluate the Effects of Food on the Bioavailability of 60 mg ER Torsemide Tablet in Healthy Human Adult Subjects

This study will evaluate the effects of a high-fat meal (food effect) on the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of 60mg ER Torsemide tablet after single dose oral administration in healthy volunteers. The study will be conducted as a two-sequence to period crossover study to compare 60mg ER Torsemide ER bioavailability under fed and fasting conditions. 60mg ER torsemide is a new strength and dosage form.

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

Immediate Release (IR) Torsemide is a highly effective natriuretic drug but its short duration of action is a major drawback, which allows significant post-dose sodium retention, and as consequence, limits salt loss in patients with heart failure unless dietary salt intake is severely restricted. Extended Release (ER) torsemide is being developed to address this drawback by prolonging the duration of action to increase sodium excretion even in patients who consume high salt diet. Since 60mg ER torsemide is a new strength and dosage form, this study will test 60mg ER torsemide for a food effect in healthy volunteers who are either fasting or consuming a high-fat meal (fed). The primary endpoint of the study is full pharmacokinetics measurements after a single dose of 60mg ER torsemide. The secondary endpoints are 24h sodium excretion and total urinary excretion.

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.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Peak torsemide plasma concentration
Time Frame: 36 hours
Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) (ng/ml) in fed and fasting conditions

Total torsemide plasma concentration
Time Frame: 36 hours
Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) (hr/ng/ml) in fed and fasting conditions
36 hours

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
