Food Effect and Bioequivalence Study of Simufilam Tablets in Healthy Volunteers

October 6, 2022 updated by: Cassava Sciences, Inc.

A Four-way Crossover Food Effect and Bioequivalence Pharmacokinetic Study of Simufilam in Healthy Volunteers

This study will compare the pharmacokinetics of the Phase 3 simufilam 100 mg oral tablet when taken fasted versus following a high-fat or low-fat meal. Additionally, the Phase 3 oral tablet will be compared to the Phase 2 oral tablet for bioequivalence under fasted conditions.

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

This is a single-center, randomized, four-treatment, four-sequence crossover study in healthy volunteers to estimate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of simufilam following oral 100 mg Phase 3 oral tablets. Additionally, the relative bioavailability of the Phase 3 100 mg tablet will be compared to the earlier Phase 2 100 mg tablet in the fasted state. A total of twenty four (24) healthy volunteers (12 male and 12 female) will be enrolled into this study. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of four treatment sequences (6 subjects/sequence).

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.
