Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Area under curve of plasma concentration of drug from time 0 (zero) from time t (last measurable concentration)
Collection points from time 0 to 192 hours evaluated in two periods

The area under the plot of plasma concentration of drug against time (non-compartimental method), after drug administration, defined as the area under the curve (AUC). The AUC 0-t is calculated from time 0 (prior to administration of medication) to time t (the time of the last quantifiable concentration), by linear trapezoidal rule. The AUC is of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, by measuring the extent of absorption.

Maximum observed concentration of drug through time (Cmax)
Collection points from time 0 to 192 hours evaluated in two periods

Cmax is defined as the maximum or "peak" concentration of a drug observed after its administration. Cmax is one of the parameters of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, by measuring the total amount of drug absorbed. Measurement obtained directly of the plasma concentration curve of the drug (non-compartimental method). Occurring at Tmax.

Area under curve of plasma concentration of drug from the time 0 (zero) extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-inf)
Collection points from time 0 to 192 hours evaluated in two periods

Measurement obtained directly from the plasma concentration curve of drug against time (non-compartimental method). AUC0-inf is calculated from time 0 (prior to administration of medication) extrapolated to infinity, by formula AUC0-inf=AUClast +Clast/Kel, where Clast is the Last measurable concentration and Kel is the first order rate constant associated with the terminal portion of the curve.

Time of maximum observed concentration (Tmax)
Collection points from time 0 to 192 hours evaluated in two periods

Time when Cmax is obtained

Terminal half-life - T1/2
Collection points from time 0 to 192 hours evaluated in two periods

Calculated by formula: T1/2\_Kel= Ln(2)/Kel.

First order rate constant associated with the terminal portion of the curve (Kel)
Collection points from time 0 to 192 hours evaluated in two periods

This parameter is estimated by the angular coefficient of the regression line, calculated by the minimum squares method, of the natural logarithm of the concentration versus time for the last four concentrations values (or at least three) above the quantification limit

Frequently asked questions about Topamax coated

What is Topamax coated used for?

Topamax coated is a small molecule being developed for epilepsy, specifically tonic-clonic seizures. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development as an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet been approved for use. The drug is being studied in a clinical trial in Brazil.

Who makes Topamax coated?

Topamax coated is being developed by GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK. The company is conducting clinical research on this investigational small molecule for the treatment of epilepsy, specifically tonic-clonic seizures.

What phase is Topamax coated in?

Topamax coated is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 1 trial has been completed, and the drug remains in early-stage clinical testing for epilepsy.

What clinical trials is Topamax coated in?

Topamax coated has one completed clinical trial, NCT01439438, titled "Topiramate Bioequivalence Study Brazil - Fast." This Phase 1 study enrolled 26 healthy male volunteers aged 18 years and older in Brazil. The trial was active-controlled and randomized, though it was not double-blinded.

Is Topamax coated the same as topiramate?

Topamax coated is a formulation of topiramate, as indicated by the clinical trial title referencing topiramate bioequivalence. The study NCT01439438 was designed to assess the bioequivalence of this coated formulation compared to a reference product in healthy volunteers.
