Frequently asked questions about Tizanidine

What is Tizanidine?

Tizanidine is a small molecule drug developed by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd. It is being studied in Phase 1 clinical development. The company's trials to date have been bioequivalence studies conducted in healthy adult volunteers, comparing tizanidine HCl 4 mg tablets under fasting and fed conditions.

What does Tizanidine target?

Tizanidine targets the alpha-2 adrenergic receptors ADRA2A, ADRA2C, and ADRA2B, where it acts as an agonist. By binding these receptors, the drug modulates adrenergic signaling. This receptor agonist activity is the basis for its pharmacological profile as a small molecule therapeutic.

Who makes Tizanidine?

Tizanidine is developed by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd, which trades under the ticker RDY. The company sponsored the clinical studies of tizanidine HCl 4 mg tablets, including the bioequivalence trials conducted in Canada in healthy volunteers.

What phase is Tizanidine in?

Tizanidine is in Phase 1 clinical development. Both of its recorded trials are Phase 1 bioequivalence studies, and both have been completed. No later-phase trials are listed, so the program remains at the early clinical stage.

What clinical trials is Tizanidine in?

Two completed Phase 1 trials are registered for Tizanidine. NCT01146028 is a bioequivalence study of tizanidine HCl 4 mg tablets under fasting conditions with 42 healthy volunteers in Canada. NCT01065987 is a bioequivalence study of the same tablets under fed conditions with 24 healthy volunteers, also in Canada.

How many patients were enrolled in Tizanidine trials?

The two completed Tizanidine trials enrolled a total of 66 participants. NCT01146028 enrolled 42 healthy volunteers and NCT01065987 enrolled 24 healthy volunteers. Both studies were randomized, active controlled, and conducted in Canada with participants aged 18 years and older.
