Pharmacokinetic Profile of Betahistine With and Without Selegiline in Healthy Volunteers
Germany15 participantsStarted 2021-06-02
Plain-language summary
The goal of this pharmakokinetic trial is to demonstrate that Betahistine serum concentration is higher after combination treatment with Betahistine and Selegiline compared to Betahistine alone.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is the plasma concentration of betahistine higher due to combination treatment with selegiline compared to betahistine monotherapy? How is the safety of the combination treatment with betahistine and selegiline, the pharmacokinetics of betahistine in different dosages in blood, and the inter-individual differences in the metabolism?
Subjects satisfying all selection criteria will receive three different dosages of Betahistine alone orally in ascending order (24 mg, 48 mg, 96 mg) in the first period. In the second period, subjects received Betahistine treatment as described for first period but after pre- and continuous treatment with 5 mg/ml Selegiline orally. Plasma concentration (namely the AUC0-240min) of betahistine will be measured before and 10, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240 minutes after treatment with blood examinations. Safety parameters include assessment of adverse events, ECG, vital signs, laboratory measurements including kidney and liver function, full blood count and pregnancy and drug screening test.

Diagnosis and main criteria for inclusion:
* Adult healthy volunteers, males and non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding woman with adequate contraception
* Subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrolment into the trial:
* Healthy volunteers (age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 70 years) as determined by screening
* and Principal Investigator's judgement
* No intake of medication due to an illness
* Written informed consent of the subject
* Systolic blood pressure between 90 and 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure between 60 and 90 mmHg at screening

Subjects presenting with any of the following exclusion criteria were not included in the trial:
* Subject is not able to give consent
* A condition in which repeated serum draws or injections pose more than minimal risk for the subjects, such as haemophilia, other severe coagulation disorders or significantly impaired venous access
* Participation in another study with an investigational drug or device within the last 30 days, prior participation in the present study, or planned participation in another trial
* Intake of medication due to an illness
* Subjects with a physical or psychiatric condition which at the inv…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
