Dose Modification Requirement for Trelagliptin in Egyptian Population — Trelagliptin  

Diabetes Mellitus Clinical Trial

Official title: Dose of Trelagliptin for Egyptian Patients Requires no Modification Than Japanese

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The proposed study will consider the pharmacokinetic evaluation of Trelagliptin after administration to Egyptian volunteers and the results will be compared with the other reported ethnic populations. The FDA recognizes that standard methods of defining racial subgroups are necessary to compare results across pharmacokinetic studies, and to assess potential subgroup differences. The design of the study is open labeled, one treatment, one period, single dose pharmacokinetic study.

Clinical Trial Description

The proposed study will consider the pharmacokinetic evaluation of Trelagliptin after administration to Egyptian volunteers and the results will be compared with the other reported ethnic populations. The FDA recognizes that standard methods of defining racial subgroups are necessary to compare results across pharmacokinetic studies, and to assess potential subgroup differences. The design of the study is open labeled, one treatment, one period, single dose pharmacokinetic study. The main pharmacokinetic parameters which are Cmax, Tmax, t1/2, elimination rate constant, AUC0-t and AUC0-inf, will be estimated. Fasting of all volunteers will eliminate the possible interaction from food or caffeine consumption. The pharmacokinetic parameters of Trelagliptin will be studied in healthy human subjects according to the ethical regulations of World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki (October 1996) and the International Conference of Harmonisation Tripartite Guideline for Good Clinical Practice. Written informed consent was provided (attached and signed by the six volunteers) in order to be approved by the ethics committee of the Faculty of Pharmacy, The British University in Egypt. The good health of the human subjects was confirmed by a complete medical history and physical examination. Samples from six, healthy, adult, male, smoking, Egyptian volunteers (age: 25-39 years, average weight: 89.8 kg, Average BMI: 34.2) will be collected at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 8, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 and 168 hrs to be transferred to heparinized centrifuge tubes in order to be analyzed by LC-MS/MS study (developed & validated) after single oral dose administration of one Zafatek® tablet nominally containing 50 mg Trelaglipitin. The blood samples (1 mL of each sample) will be centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 minutes, The main pharmacokinetic parameters of the study which are Cmax, Tmax, t1/2, elimination rate constant, AUC0-t and AUC0-inf will be estimated, using a validated excel software. Blood glucose level will be determined for all volunteers at different time intervals to monitor any hypoglycemic effect. The study will be conducted as per FDA guidelines. The development of such correlations between trelagliptin concentrations and its pharmacologic responses will enable clinicians to apply pharmacokinetic principles to actual patient situations. The evaluation of safety of the study will be based on monitoring of blood glucose level, vital signs, pulse rate, monitoring of adverse events, and physical examination. ;
