Evaluation Of PF-00572778 And Alprazolam On Naloxone Challenge In Healthy Subjects

Information source: Pfizer
Information obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov on June 20, 2008
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Healthy People

Intervention: alprazolam (Drug); Placebo (Other); PF-00572778 (Drug)

Phase: Phase 1

Status: Terminated

Sponsored by: Pfizer

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Pfizer CT.gov Call Center, Study Director, Affiliation: Pfizer

Summary

PF-00572778, a CRH antagonist, is expected to attenuate adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and cortisol responses to naloxone by blocking the effect of the CRH increases induced by naloxone at the postsynaptic receptors. Demonstration of a statistically significant attenuation of naloxone induced increases in cortisol and/or ACTH concentrations by PF-00572778 compared to placebo would thus constitute proof of mechanism for the compound. Therefore, this study is to evaluate pharmacodynamic effects of PF-00572778 following naloxone challenge in healthy subjects.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Phase I, Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Group, Single Dose Study To Evaluate The Effects Of PF-00572778 And Alprazolam On A Naloxone Challenge In Healthy Adult Subjects

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Single Blind (Subject), Parallel Assignment, Pharmacodynamics Study

Primary outcome: Area under the cortisol concentration time curve from 0 to 3 hours ( AUC(0-3) ) following naloxone challenge

Secondary outcome:

Maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax)

Time to reach the maximum observed serum concentration (Tmax)

Safety laboratory tests, vital signs, ECGs, adverse events monitoring, and physical examinations

Peak concentrations for plasma cortisol and ACTH

Area under the concentration-time curve from time = 0 to time of the last quantifiable serum PF-00572778 concentration (AUClast)

Area under the ACTH concentration curve from 0 to 3 hours ( AUC(0-3) ) following naloxone challenge
