NCT ID: NCT02436577

Last Updated: 2017-01-11

Results Overview

Comparison of Cmax (maximum observed plasma concentration) of ticagrelor and its active metabolite AR-C124910XX following single doses of the orodispersible (OD) tablet - when administered with and without water - and ticagrelor immediate-release (IR) tablet. Blood samples for the determination of plasma concentrations of both ticagrelor and its active metabolite AR-C124910XX will be collected for each treatment period: 0 hours (pre-dose) and post-dose at 0.5 (30 minutes), 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours (14 samples per treatment period).

Participant Flow

This study was conducted at PAREXEL International, Early Phase Clinical Unit London, Middlesex, United Kingdom.

Participants were randomized to a 6 sequence Williams square design for 3 periods and 3 treatments: 90 mg ticagrelor orodispersible (OD) tablet with water (Treatment A); 90 mg ticagrelor OD tablet without water (Treatment B); 90 mg ticagrelor immediate-release (IR) tablet with water (Treatment C).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From the date of randomization (Day 1 of the first treatment period) until the final follow-up visit (5 to 10 days after last administration of IMP).

Population: The safety analysis set included all participants who received at least 1 dose of ticagrelor and for whom any safety post-dose data were available.

An AE is the development of an undesirable medical condition or the deterioration of a pre-existing medical condition following or during exposure to a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered causally related to the product. The term AE is used generally to include any AE whether serious or non-serious. A serious AE (SAE) is an AE that fulfills one or more of the following criteria: results in death, is immediately life-threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions; is a congenital abnormality or birth defect; is an important medical event that may jeopardize the participant or may require medical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

Timeframe: 0 hours (pre-dose) and post-dose at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours in each treatment period.

Population: The PK analysis set consisted of all participants for whom at least 1 of the primary PK parameters, for a given analyte, was calculated for at least 2 treatment periods (where 1 of the treatment periods was the period in which the participant received the reference product \[Treatment C\]) and who had no major protocol deviations.

Comparison of kel (elimination rate constant) of ticagrelor and its active metabolite AR-C124910XX following single doses of the OD tablet - when administered with and without water - and ticagrelor IR tablet. Blood samples for the determination of plasma concentrations of both ticagrelor and its active metabolite AR-C124910XX will be collected for each treatment period: 0 hours (pre-dose) and post-dose at 0.5 (30 minutes), 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours (14 samples per treatment period).

Population: The safety analysis set included all participants who received at least 1 dose of ticagrelor and for whom any safety post-dose data were available.

A 12-lead ECG was obtained after the participant rested in supine position for at least 10 minutes. The study physician was to judge the overall interpretation as normal or abnormal. If abnormal, it was decided as to whether or not the abnormality was clinically significant and the reason for the abnormality was recorded.
