Frequently asked questions about Cephalexin

What is cephalexin used for?

Cephalexin is studied for infections, including respiratory tract infections. The clinical trials listed for cephalexin enroll healthy adult volunteers in bioequivalence studies rather than patients treated for active infection. Cephalexin is a small molecule anti-infective developed by GSK plc.

Who makes cephalexin?

GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK, is the developer of cephalexin. The company is associated with the cephalexin tablet and suspension programs described in the clinical trial listings for this anti-infective asset.

What phase is cephalexin in?

Cephalexin is in Phase 1 development. All three listed trials are Phase 1 bioequivalence studies, and all three are completed, with no active trials currently listed. The studies together enrolled 82 participants.

What clinical trials is cephalexin in?

Three completed Phase 1 trials cover cephalexin: NCT01767584, a bioequivalence study of cephalexin 1g tablets with 26 participants; NCT01767571, a bioequivalence study of cephalexin suspension 250 with 28 participants; and NCT01767532, a bioequivalence study of cephalexin suspension 125 with 28 participants.

Are the cephalexin trials randomized and controlled?

Yes. The cephalexin Phase 1 trials are randomized and controlled, though they are not double blind. They enrolled healthy volunteers aged 18 years and older of all sexes, and none of the trials used biomarker selection.
