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.

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

19 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy on the basis of physical examination, medical history, vital signs, and 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) performed at screening. If there are abnormalities, they must be consistent with the underlying illness in the study population. This determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents
  • Healthy on the basis of clinical laboratory tests performed at screening. If the results of the serum chemistry panel including liver enzymes, other specific tests, hematology, urinalysis or breathing alcohol test are outside the normal reference ranges, the participant may be included only if the investigator judges the abnormalities or deviations from normal to be not clinically significant. This determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents and initialed by the investigator
  • Blood pressure (after the participant is sitting for 5 minutes) between 90 and 140 millimeters of Mercury (mmHg) systolic, inclusive, and no higher than 90 mmHg diastolic
  • Have no history of psychiatric disorder within the 5 years prior to the screening
  • Have no history of gastrointestinal resection that may affect drug absorption

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of or current clinically significant medical illness including (but not limited to) cardiac arrhythmias or other cardiac disease, hematologic disease, coagulation disorders (including any abnormal bleeding or blood dyscrasias), lipid abnormalities, significant pulmonary disease, including bronchospastic respiratory disease, diabetes mellitus, hepatic or renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance below 60 milliliter per minute [mL/min]), thyroid disease, neurologic or psychiatric disease, infection, or any other illness that the investigator considers should exclude the participant or that could interfere with the interpretation of the study results
  • Clinically significant abnormal physical examination, vital signs, or 12 lead ECG at screening as deemed appropriate by the investigator
  • Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to acetaminophen or its excipients
  • History of malignancy within 5 years before screening (exceptions are squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or malignancy, which is considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence)
  • Taken any disallowed therapies as noted in local prescribing information, concomitant therapy before the planned first dose of study drug

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
Maximum Observed Analyte Concentration (Cmax)
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours post-dose
Cmax is the maximum observed analyte concentration.
Up to 24 hours post-dose
Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Time of the Last Measurable Concentration (AUC [0-last])
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours post-dose
AUC (0-last) is the area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of the last measurable concentration (non-below quantitation limit).
Up to 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 to Last Measurable Plasma Concentration (T [last])
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours post-dose
Tlast is the time to last measurable plasma concentration.
Up to 24 hours post-dose
Elimination Rate Constant (Lambda [z])
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours post-dose
Lambda (z) is the apparent terminal elimination rate constant determined by linear regression using the terminal log-linear phase of the log transformed concentration-time curve.
Up to 24 hours post-dose
Elimination Half-Life (t 1/2)
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours post-dose
t1/2 is defined as apparent is associated terminal elimination half-life associated with the terminal slope (lambda [z]) of the semilogarithmic drug concentration-time curve, calculated as: 0.693/lambda(z).
Up to 24 hours post-dose
Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability
Time Frame: Up to 41 days
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study.

Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinite Time (AUC[0-infinity])
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours post-dose
AUC(0-infinity) is the area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC (0-last) and C(last)/lambda(z).
Up to 24 hours post-dose
Percentage of Area Under the Concentration-time Curve Extrapolated from Last Measurable Concentration to Infinite Time (Extrapolated %AUCinfinity)
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours post-dose
Percentage of area under the concentration-time curve extrapolated from last measurable concentration to infinite time (extrapolated %AUCinfinity) is calculated using formula: (AUC [0-infinity] minus AUC [0-last]/AUC [0-infinity])*100.
Up to 24 hours post-dose
Time to Reach the Maximum Observed Analyte Concentration (Tmax)
