Filter by:This study investigates how ASP3652 is taken up, broken down, and distributed through the body and excreted in individuals of different races. The study also investigates levels of biochemical markers in the bloodstream, and determines how safe the study drug is and how well it is tolerated after dosing. A further aim is to look at how the processes of metabolism, distribution and excretion of the study drug are possibly altered by the daily diet of the volunteers taking part.
A study of ACT-462206 to evaluate the tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic of ascending single doses of ACT-462206, a novel dual orexin receptor antagonist in healthy male subjects.
Various studies have reported cardioprotective effects of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists in the setting of an acute myocardial infarction. In a recent animal study, the protective effect of MR antagonists on infarct size was completely abolished in CD73 knock-out and adenosine A2b receptor knock-out mice, and by co-administration of adenosine receptor antagonists in rats. These findings suggest that extracellular formation of adenosine is crucial for this protective effect and that MR antagonists stimulate extracellular adenosine formation by the enzyme CD73. To investigate whether eplerenone promotes adenosine receptor stimulation by activating CD73, the investigators will measure forearm blood flow in response to various dosages of dipyridamole with the use of plethysmography. Dipyridamole increases the extracellular endogenous adenosine concentration by inhibition of the ENT transporter and induces local vasodilation. Therefore, the vasodilator effect of dipyridamole accurately reflects extracellular adenosine formation by the CD73 enzyme.
The objectives of this study were (a) to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and to evaluate and compare the pharmacodynamics of ilaprazole and esomeprazole following a single dose (Day 1) and once daily (QD) administration for 5 consecutive days each of 10-mg, 20-mg, and 40-mg ilaprazole tablets and 40-mg esomeprazole tablets; (b) to evaluate the safety of 10-mg, 20-mg, and 40-mg ilaprazole tablets following QD oral administration for 5 consecutive days; and (c) to characterize the plasma gastrin concentration profile on Day 1 and Day 5 following QD oral administration of 10-mg, 20-mg, and 40-mg ilaprazole and 40-mg esomeprazole tablets for 5 consecutive days.
The purpose of this study is to explore the safety (including the effect on cardiac intervals), tolerability, the effects on the Central Nervous System (CNS), as well as the CNS side effect profile of single ascending doses of ASP3652 in healthy, Caucasian male and female subjects.
To investigate the safety, tolerability and anti-tumour activity of AZD5363, as monotherapy, in patients with metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer. AZD5363 will be investigated in patients who have progressed after chemotherapy (Part A) and in patients who have progressed before receiving chemotherapy (Part B). Recruitment into Part A, Group 1 has been suspended. A new design for this group is currently being evaluated. Part A, group 2 patients (progressed after 1 or more 2nd generational anti-hormonal therapies) will receive AZD5363 480mg bid intermittently (4 days on/3days off). Part B will only start if there is evidence of anti-tumour activity along with AZD5363 having an acceptable safety profile in Part A. Part B will be conducted in pre-chemotherapy patients on a dose and schedule selected from Part A.
The study aims to investigate the effect of YM150 and to compare gender and ethnic differences in healthy Caucasian and Japanese male and female subjects.
The objective of this study is to explore safety and tolerability of multiple oral doses of ASP015K in healthy volunteers.
Obesity in children,as in adults,has rapidly become a public health concern. Studies in adults have shown that obesity, now considered to be a disease state, is a modifier of the effect of drugs on the body as well as how the body handles the drug.The anesthetic management of obese children poses a variety of significant challenges which include determination of the appropriate dose of anesthetic intravenous agents. Dosing of most drugs is calculated based on the effective dose in 50% of patients but the more practical and required information is the effective dose in 95%(ED95%)of patients. The aim of this study is to determine the effective dose in 95% of patients(children). The hypothesis is the ED95 of propofol in obese children will be higher than that of non-obese children.
Tramadol is an opioid analgesic, which is widely used in the treatment of acute and neuropathic pain. After oral administration, tramadol is rapidly and almost completely absorbed. Tramadol is extensively metabolised by O- and N-demethylation, which are catalysed by the liver CYP-450 enzymes. O-desmethyltramadol is an active metabolite and its formation is catalysed by CYP2D6. The formation of inactive metabolites is catalysed by CYP3A4 and 2B6. This study is aimed to investigate the possible interaction of oral tramadol with itraconazole and ticlopidine, which are inhibitors of CYP3A4 and 2B6. Twelve healthy male or female adult non-smoking volunteers aged 18-40 years with body weights within ±15% of the ideal weight for height are taken into the study. Primary endpoints of the study are plasma concentrations of tramadol and its metabolites.
