May 18, 2026 updated by: Jason Andrews, Stanford University

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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
Isoniazid Plasma Area-under-the-curve
Time Frame: Days 7 and 14 (1, 2, 8, and 24 hours post-dose)
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve over 24 hours (AUC₀-₂₄) for isoniazid, estimated using a population pharmacokinetic model based on plasma concentrations collected at 1, 2, 8, and 24 hours post-dose on Days 7 and 14.
Days 7 and 14 (1, 2, 8, and 24 hours post-dose)
Isoniazid Clearance
Time Frame: Days 7 and 14 (1, 2, 8, and 24 hours post-dose)
Apparent clearance (CL) of isoniazid estimated from a population pharmacokinetic model using plasma concentration data collected at 1, 2, 8, and 24 hours post-dose on Days 7 and 14. Clearance values represent model-derived population parameter estimates. Data across the day 7 and day 14 time points are combined to provide an estimated value as a model parameter, representing the typical value per group.
Days 7 and 14 (1, 2, 8, and 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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maximum Isoniazid Concentration (Cmax)
Time Frame: Days 7 and 14 (1, 2, 8, and 24 hours post-dose)
Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of isoniazid following dosing, derived from serial plasma samples collected at 1, 2, 8, and 24 hours post-dose
Days 7 and 14 (1, 2, 8, and 24 hours post-dose)
Isoniazid Concentration at 24 Hours
Time Frame: Days 7 and 14 (24 hours post-dose)
Isoniazid plasma concentration measured at 24 hours post-dose.
Days 7 and 14 (24 hours post-dose)

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
