Filter by:L-glutamine has been approved in the US to reduce the acute complications of sickle cell disease (SCD) in adult and pediatric patients 5 years of age and older. The purpose of this single-center, open-label, phase 4 study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety of L-glutamine in patients with SCD.
This clinical study is about increasing the dosage of bromine hexane hydrochloride to safety volume and continue to give it frequently in the new crown virus treatment could improve the efficacy.
Periodontitits is a bacteria induced inflammatory disease that destroys the supporting tissues of the tooth and leads to tooth loss. Treatment consists mainly of the mechanical cleaning of the tooth surfaces in order to remove the bacterial deposits (plaque and calculus). This procedure can reduce the level of pathogenic bacteria but it can not eradicate them. In severe cases, for the complete resolution of the disease, the elimantion of certain species of bacteria is needed. In order to achieve that, the combination of different regimens of antibiotics adjunctive to the mechanical treatment has been proposed. However, dosage and duration of antimicrobial therapy should be optimal and not excessive as issues may arise related to increased antimicrobial resistance in the population and the individual due to habitual prescription of wide-spectrum antibiotic regimens, horizontal gene transfer and genetic mutation. In the present study, in an effort to optimize the dosage and duration of the antimicrobial regimen, we will determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of the MET-AMO combination and of AZI in Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF), saliva and serum in severe periodontitis patients during and after either a 3-day or a 7-day course of treatment.
Type of Study: Single Ascending Doses (SAD) Study Objectives: To characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of JOTROL (resveratrol) following oral administration of SAD ranging from 200 mg up to a dose currently estimated at 1,000 mg, in healthy subjects. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of JOTROL To evaluate the effect of food on the PK profile of JOTROL. Study Design: Phase I, randomized, open-label, sequential SAD study with a food effect evaluation. Blood plasma and urine samples will be assessed for resveratrol and key metabolite content. Type of Control: No control Test Product: JOTROL (resveratrol) 100 mg resveratrol in 1000 mg softgel capsule for oral administration Dosage Regimen: Planned dose levels of resveratrol: 200 mg, 500 mg, and 1,000 mg. Following completion of each dose level, PK, safety, and tolerability data will be evaluated; dose levels may be adjusted. Route of Administration: Oral gelcaps with water Number of Subjects: 24 subjects will be included in Part 1; only 16 subjects, who completed Part 1, will be included in Part 2. Subjects: Healthy, non-smoker, adult males or females, ≥ 18 and ≤ 75 years of age Study Duration: Participation of each subject in this study should last approximately 1 to 1.5 months (for subjects participating in study Part 1 only) and 1.5 to 2 months (for subjects participating in both study parts).
The study is being done to measure the absorption of the DEXTENZA implant and inflammation concentration levels in the eye.
Laparoscopic gastric sleeve and bypass surgeries the most common bariatric procedures for weight loss and improved management of metabolic syndromes. Patients may suffer from wound pain or referred pain after laparoscopic bariatric operation. Most importantly, 11.8% of these patients complained surgical-related pain one year after operation, and 8% of them required prolonged use of opioid to control chronic postoperative pain (CPSP). However, there are currently lack of clinical practice guidelines or recommendations for prevention of CPSP after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Although regional block techniques (i.e. truncal block or intrathecal opioid) are considered as effective supplementary analgesic approaches to improve postoperative pain control, parenteral administration of analgesics remain as the mainstay for pain management of laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Naldebain® is prodrug of nalbuphine, which was approved by the Taiwan FDA in 2017. Naldebain® is an extended-release dinalbuphine sebacate, and is rapidly hydrolyzed by tissue of plasma esterase to release nalbuphine. A number of clinical studies have shown that single-dose of pre-operative intramuscular administration of Naldebain® provides significantly higher analgesic effect up to 1 week in hemorrhoidectomy and laparotomy surgery with a well-tolerated safety profile. Therefore, this PI-initiated randomized, double-blind, placebo-control trial aims to investigate the clinical efficacy of Naldebain® in management of acute postoperative pain in patients receiving laparoscopic gastric sleeve or bypass surgery, and prevention of the development of CPSP after surgery. This study will also analyze the plasma levels of nalbuphine following a single intramuscular injection in obese patients.
A Phase 1 Clinical Trial to Compare and Evaluate Safety and Pharmacokinetic Characteristics after Administration of the "CDFF0318" and "Champix Tab. 1mg (Varenicline tartrate)" in Healthy Male Volunteers
This study will examine the utility of plasma and urinary based biomarkers for the anxiolytic properties of kava. The investigators will conduct a one week, double blind, randomized placebo controlled trial of kava, dosed at three 75 mg capsules per day, vs placebo, in adults with generalized anxiety disorder.
Сomparative pharmacokinetic study of Rinsulin® NPH, suspension for subcutaneous administration, 100 IU/ml (GEROPHARM LLC, Russia) and Humulin® NPH, suspension for subcutaneous administration, 100 IU/ml (Lilly France, France) using the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp.
Tacrolimus is a drug administered orally available with different formulations: immediate release (Prograf®), prolonged-release (Advagraf®) and an extended-release one named LCP-Tacro (Envarsus®), formulated using the Melt-Dose process. Tacrolimus is a lipophilic macrolide drug able to passive transmembrane diffusion. Its bioavailability displays a large interindividual variability, from 9 to 43%. Indeed, tacrolimus is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). P-gp is an efflux protein mainly located at the apex of the epithelia of the intestine, lymphocyte, kidney and blood-brain barrier. P-gp therefore limits the intestinal resorption of tacrolimus and also its diffusion into its target compartment (i.e the lymphocyte. The expression of this protein is different throughout the digestive tract with maximum expression at the ileal level. CYP3A4 is a coenzyme that is responsible of more than 90% of the metabolism of tacrolimus, at the digestive and hepatic level. Both P-gp and CYP3A4 play a role in tacrolimus absorption/diffusion process. A new formulation of tacrolimus, LCP-Tacro, (Envarsus®) was approved in 2014. Its efficacy was compared to Prograf® in two phase III de novo or switch Prograf® trials in kidney transplantation. With tacrolimus, there is a strong inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability which, to date, has not been fully characterized. Variations in bioavailability may partly explain this high variability. The different formulations are resorbed at distinct gastrointestinal sites which could explain different absorptions between Prograf/Advagraf and LCP-Tacro forms. These findings raise the question of the role of P-gp in explaining the difference in bioavailability between formulations. The use of a P-gp inhibitor could therefore have a different impact on exposure to different galenic formulations. Verapamil is an inhibitor of P-gp and CYP 3A4, which is frequently prescribed and recommended by FDA for drug-drug interaction studies aiming at evaluating P-gp substrates, used in healthy volunteers at dosages up to 240 mg/D13-14. Otherwise, verapamil-tacrolimus interaction has been characterized in vitro. It has also been shown that inhibitory effect of verapamil at a single dose of 120 mg administered one hour prior to the administration of a P-gp substrate exhibited an optimum power of inhibition. The safety of Advagraf® and Envarsus® administrations have already been subjected to several phase I trials in healthy volunteers reinforcing the knowledge of their safety profile. The aim of the study is to compare the interaction profile of Advagraf® and Envarsus® when co-administered with verapamil in healthy subjects and to provide guidelines on tacrolimus dosage adjustment in such cases.
