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
Pharmacokinetics of simvastatin and simvastatin acid (Cmax)
Time Frame: 9 days
To evaluate the potential effect of multiple oral doses of voclosporin on the single-dose PK of simvastatin and the active metabolite simvastatin acid. Maximum observed concentration (Cmax).

Pharmacokinetics of simvastatin and simvastatin acid (AUC)
Time Frame: 9 days
To evaluate the potential effect of multiple oral doses of voclosporin on the single-dose PK of simvastatin and the active metabolite simvastatin acid. Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero to infinity.
