Trial Outcomes & Findings for Taste Assessment Study of SHP429 in Healthy Adult Subjects (NCT NCT02125292)

NCT ID: NCT02125292

Last Updated: 2021-06-03

Results Overview

A taste assessment was completed immediately after investigational product was administered to assess the subject's taste/liking of the formulation. The assessment consisted of a 5-point rating scale. Participants were asked to choose one of the following responses to the statement "The taste was acceptable": strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, or strongly disagree. The number of participants who chose either of the top two responses (strongly agree, agree) is reported.

Mesalamine in Vanilla Yogurt, Then Applesauce, Then Water
Three different modes of administration were tested. Treatment A: 1 SHP429 500mg capsule opened and the contents sprinkled onto 1 tablespoon of commercially available low-fat vanilla yogurt and the contents were then administered to the participant; Treatment B: 1 SHP429 500mg capsule opened and the contents sprinkled onto 1 tablespoon of commercially available unsweetened, creamy applesauce and the contents were then administered to the participant; Treatment C: 1 SHP429 500mg capsule opened and the contents emptied into a dosing cup, the contents were then administered to the participant. The participant was administered 240mL of room temperature water to aid in the consumption of the capsule content.

Population: Safety Set: all participants who took at least 1 dose of investigational product and had at least 1 post-dose safety assessment.

Clinical laboratory assessments included hematology, chemistry and urinalysis parameters, all measured 6 hours post-dose. All clinical laboratory assays were performed according to the laboratory's normal procedures. Reference ranges were supplied by the laboratory and were used to assess the clinical laboratory data for clinical significance and out-of-range pathological changes. The investigator assessed out-of-range clinical laboratory values for clinical significance and indicated whether or not the values were clinically significant.

Vital sign assessments included systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate and body temperature measurements, all measured 6 hours post-dose. Study personnel used both absolute values and change from baseline values to determine if the vital sign was potentially clinically important. Criteria for the potential clinical importance of both absolute and change from baseline values were pre-specified. A participant's vital sign had to meet both the absolute and change from baseline criteria to be considered as potentially clinically important.
