NCT ID: NCT01194622

Last Updated: 2022-02-07

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1
• Total Enrollment: 30 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2010-08-31
• Study Completion Date: 2010-10-31

Brief Summary

The primary objective is to assess the effect of azelastine hydrochloride (AZE) on the relative bioavailability (AUC0-∞) of fluticasone propionate (FLU) when administered as fixed AZE-FLU combination product (TEST) compared to a similar formulation without containing AZE (i.e. FLU alone in the MP29-02 vehicle; REF).

The secondary objectives are to compare the relative bioavailability (AUC0-∞) of FLU when administered either as fixed AZE-FLU combination product (TEST) or as marketed FLU product, Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray, Roxane Laboratories (COMP); To compare the effects of AZE on other pharmacokinetic parameters of FLU (AUC0 tlast, CL/f, Cmax, tmax, t½); To assess adverse events.

Detailed Description

This study will enrol healthy subjects. It is considered that study results are more discriminative in healthy subjects than in rhinitis patients as there are no interferences by varying rhinitis symptoms and respective differences in the status of the nasal mucosa regarding the 3 study periods.

The time schedule for serum sampling (pre-dose and 8, 15, 30, 45 min, 1, 1¼, 1½, 2, 2½, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 h p.a., time refer to the end of the second spray into the second nostril of each administration) is derived from previous bioavailability studies assuming a mean tmax of 1 h p.a. [P5] and a mean t1/2 of 3 h [L9]. Sampling times are expected to cover an AUC0-tlast above 80% of the total AUC of fluticasone propionate (bioanalytical detection method with a LLOQ of 0.5 pg/mL).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Male or female healthy subjects of any Ethnic origin, age from 18 to 45 years.

2. Body mass index (BMI) from 18.5 to 30.0 kg/m2.

3. Use of adequate double contraception by female with childbearing potential (i.e. women of child bearing potential using a highly effective method of birth control defined as those which result in a low failure rate (i.e. <1% per year) when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, hormonal IUDs) or surgically sterile (documented complete hysterectomy or bi-tubal ligations; partial hysterectomy is not sufficient or vasectomised partner). It must be ensured that the male partner uses a condom during intercourse (if not surgically sterilized).

4. Use of adequate double contraception by male, who is a sexually active man and has not been surgically sterilized, must consent that he uses a condom during intercourse and ensures that his female partner practices adequate contraception (a highly effective method of birth control defined as those which result in a low failure rate (i.e. <1% per year) when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, hormonal IUDs) or surgically sterile (documented complete hysterectomy or bi-tubal ligations; partial hysterectomy is not sufficient).

5. Written informed consent.

6. Able to demonstrate correct nasal spray application technique at screening.

Exclusion Criteria

1. History of allergic reaction or sensitivity to fluticasone propionate, azelastine hydrochloride or one of the excipients (e.g. benzalkoniumchloride, phenyl-ethyl alcohol, microcrystalline cellulose).

2. Any evidence of clinically relevant acute or chronic cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, haematological, endocrine, metabolic, mental, neurological, or other disease at screening.
