CTx-1301 Comparative Bioavailability Study

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: ADHD

In brief

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the bioavailability of CTx-1301 (dexmethylphenidate) to the registered listed drug, Focalin XR and to evaluate dose proportionality of CTx-1301. In addition, this study seeks to characterize the pharmacokinetics of dexmethylphenidate and evaluate the safety and tolerability of CTx-1301.

• Indication
• Subject must report history of diagnosis of ADHD.
• If subject is currently taking stimulant medication, they must be willing and able to safely abstain from any other ADHD treatment during 96 hrs. prior to check-in on Day -4 and through the complete duration of the study.
• General Health
• Good general health (in the opinion of an investigator) with no clinically significant or relevant abnormalities on medical history or physical examination which could affect the safety of the subject or study data.
• No vomiting or fever within 24-hours of check-in at Day -4

• Subject must be able to refrain from caffeine for 10 hours prior to check-in at Day -4 and for the duration of the study.

You may not qualify if…

• Medical History
• Current and/or recurrent disease or illness that, in the opinion of an investigator, could affect the study conduct, study outcome, subject safety, or pharmacokinetic (PK) assessments (e.g., hepatic disorders, renal insufficiency, non-self-limiting gastrointestinal disorders, congestive heart failure).
• Current and/or previous history of any other serious, severe or unstable psychiatric illness which in the opinion of the investigator, may require treatment (e.g. anxiety, psychosis, mood disorder, motor tics or suicidality) or make the subject unlikely to fully complete the study, and/or any condition that presents undue risk from the study medication or procedures.
• Subject cannot have suicidal thoughts within the last 6 months as supported by the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS).
• Positive test results for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-1/HIV-2 antibodies, Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or Hepatitis C virus antibody (HCVAb).
• A family history of sudden cardiac or unexplained death.
• Any condition or abnormal laboratory finding that could result in harm to the subject, affect the outcome of the study, or suggest unstable medical illness.
• As a result of the MINI, medical history, physical examination, and/or screening investigations (including ECG results, vital signs and/or laboratory abnormality), an Investigator considers the subject disqualified for the study.
• Subject plans to undergo elective procedures/surgery at any time during the study.
• Subject has had surgery within the past 90 days.
• Subject of child-bearing potential is pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the duration of the study or within 30 days of the end of the study.
• Subject is breast-feeding during the study or within 30 days of the study.
• Medications
• a. Subject has taken any medication that, in the opinion of an Investigator, has been shown to alter the PK of d-MPH.
• b. Use of any prescription medication within 14 days prior to Day -3 (ADHD medications must be discontinued at least 96 hours prior to check-in at Day -4), and/or use of any OTC medications (such as antacids, vitamins, minerals, dietary/herbal preparations, and nutritional supplements) within 7 days prior to Day -3 unless jointly approved by an Investigator and Sponsor.
• i. Subjects are permitted to take hormonal contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy at acceptable levels if stable at least 30 days prior to Day -4, through the duration of the study, and for 30 days after the study ends.
• ii. Acetaminophen (up to 2 grams per day) may be used during the study under the direction of the Investigator.
• iii. On a case-by-case basis, an Investigator is permitted to allow the use of certain concomitant medications, for example, to treat an AE, as long as an Investigator determines that the medication will not affect the subject's safety or study integrity (eg, topical medications).
• Alcohol/Substance Abuse
• Recent history (within the last year) of alcohol or other substance abuse.
• Subject has positive breath alcohol test or urine test for drugs of abuse at screening or check-in (prescribed ADHD medication is acceptable during screening but must be stopped at least 96 hrs prior to check in at Day -4). Note: At the discretion of an Investigator, the tests may be repeated. If THC is positive at screening or check-in, a cannabis intoxication evaluation will be done by an investigator at check-in only; inclusion will be at the investigator's discretion, due to the slow release of THC from adipose tissue.
• Smoking
• a. Subject regularly smokes more than 10 cigarettes/day (or other nicotine-containing products) or Subject has recently discontinued smoking (within the last 3 months)
• Allergy/Intolerance
• a. Subject has a history of allergy to d-MPH, to any component of the dosage form, or any other allergy, which, in the opinion of an Investigator, contraindicates their participation.
