Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the bioequivalence, based on the area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUCinf), area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve from time zero to a specific time point (AUC0-t), and the maximum observed concentration (Cmax), between the contents of six of the 5-mg cinacalcet capsules sprinkled over applesauce and a single 30-mg commercial formulation tablet of cinacalcet with applesauce in healthy adult volunteers.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable national and regional regulations/guidelines. The protocol, proposed informed consent form, other written subject information, and any proposed advertising material were reviewed and approved by an institutional review board (IRB) before recruitment of subjects into the study and shipment of Amgen investigational product to the study site. The investigator obtained written informed consent from the subject or legally acceptable representative after adequate explanation of the aims, methods, anticipated benefits, and potential hazards of the study and before any protocol-specific screening procedures or any investigational product was administered.

    		 Statistical Evaluation of Cmax
    Statistical analysis description
    Cmax was natural log-transformed and analyzed using a mixed-effect analysis of variance (ANOVA) model. The effects due to sequence, period, and formulation were evaluated as fixed effects, and subject within sequence was treated as a random effect. The mean difference and 90% CI between the 2 treatment formulations was calculated and then transformed back to report the ratio of the geometric means and the 90% CI of the ratio. The number of subjects included in the analysis is 43, not 87.
