Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study in Healthy People to Compare Two Different Sifrol® Tablets (NCT NCT06457204)

NCT ID: NCT06457204

Last Updated: 2025-08-28

Results Overview

Area under the concentration-time curve of pramipexole in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz). Data was derived from an Analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the logarithmic scale including effects for sequence, subjects nested within sequences, period and treatment. The effect 'subjects within sequences' were considered as random, whereas the other effects were considered as fixed. CIs were calculated based on the residual error from the ANOVA and quantiles from the t-distribution. These quantities were then back-transformed to the original scale to provide the point estimate and 90% CIs for each endpoint.

Participant Flow

This was a randomized, open-label, two-way crossover design trial.

All subjects were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Subjects attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the subjects) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Within 3 hours prior to drug administration and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 34 and 48 hours following administration.

Population: Pharmacokinetic set (PKS): all subjects in the TS who provided at least one PK endpoint that was defined as primary or secondary and was not excluded due to a protocol deviation relevant to the evaluation of PK or due to PK nonevaluability.

Area under the concentration-time curve of pramipexole in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz). Data was derived from an Analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the logarithmic scale including effects for sequence, subjects nested within sequences, period and treatment. The effect 'subjects within sequences' were considered as random, whereas the other effects were considered as fixed. CIs were calculated based on the residual error from the ANOVA and quantiles from the t-distribution. These quantities were then back-transformed to the original scale to provide the point estimate and 90% CIs for each endpoint.
