Frequently asked questions about Caffeine

What is Caffeine used for in Drug Interactions?

Caffeine is being studied as a probe compound in drug interaction research. It is used in a clinical trial to validate multiple probe compounds for evaluating drug interactions. The study involves healthy volunteers and is designed to assess how caffeine interacts with other substances, helping to understand its role in drug metabolism and interaction assessments.

Who makes Caffeine?

Caffeine is being developed by GSK plc, a global pharmaceutical company traded under the ticker GSK. GSK is conducting clinical research on caffeine as part of a drug interaction validation study. The company is evaluating caffeine's utility as a probe compound in pharmacokinetic studies.

What phase is Caffeine in?

Caffeine is in Phase 1 clinical development. The Phase 1 trial, NCT00964106, has been completed. This early-stage study focused on validating caffeine as a probe compound for drug interaction evaluation. Caffeine remains investigational and is not approved for this specific use.

What clinical trials is Caffeine in?

Caffeine is associated with one completed clinical trial, NCT00964106, titled 'Validation Study of Multiple Probe Compounds for Drug Interaction Evaluation.' This Phase 1 study enrolled 87 participants in South Korea and involved healthy volunteers aged 20 years and older. The trial was controlled but not double-blinded.

How does Caffeine work?

Caffeine is a small molecule that acts as a central nervous system stimulant. In the context of drug interaction studies, it is used as a probe compound to assess the activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes, particularly cytochrome P450 enzymes. By measuring caffeine metabolism, researchers can evaluate potential drug interactions.
