Pharmaceuticals
Clinical Trial Data Document
Trial Name: Comparative Study of the Pharmacokinetics of Synthacardia in Heart Failure Patients
Trial ID: CT-20240204-HF
Sponsor: ChemiPharm International
Note: All company names, product names, and data mentioned are fictitious and for illustrative purposes only.
Study Phase: Phase II
Objective: To assess the pharmacokinetic properties of Synthacardia (chemical name: Hydroxyquinapril) and its metabolites in patients with chronic heart failure, and to compare these properties with those observed in healthy subjects.
Chemical Overview:
- Formula: C20H25NO4
- Molecular Weight: 355.42 g/mol
- Structure: Synthacardia consists of a hydroxyquinoline ring linked to a side chain of pril (as in ACE inhibitors), which affects the drug’s interaction with biological enzymes.
Study Design:
- Type: Randomized, Open-label, Cross-over
- Duration: 12 months
- Sample Size: 500 patients (250 healthy volunteers, 250 CHF patients)
- Primary Outcome Measures:
- Plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of Synthacardia and its primary metabolite
- Half-life (t½) and clearance rate from plasma
Methodology:
- Blood samples are collected at various time points post-administration to analyze the concentration of Synthacardia and its metabolites using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
- Comparative analysis between the patient and control groups to determine pharmacokinetic differences.
Results (Interim Analysis at 6 Months):
- Patients with CHF:
- Slower clearance rates and longer half-life observed compared to healthy subjects.
- Increased exposure to the primary metabolite, suggesting altered metabolic processing in heart failure conditions.
- Healthy Subjects:
- Faster metabolism and elimination as expected.
Safety Profile:
- Adverse Reactions: Mild renal impairment in less than 3% of the patient group, potentially linked to altered drug metabolism.
Conclusion (Preliminary): The pharmacokinetics of Synthacardia are significantly altered in patients with heart failure, necessitating dosage adjustments and further study on metabolic pathways.
Investigator's Comments: The impact of heart failure on drug metabolism underscores the need for tailored therapeutic strategies based on chemical and pharmacological data.
