Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Intervention:
Maxigesic as a single oral dose of two tablets (total dose paracetamol 1000mg and ibuprofen 300mg).

Cross-over study with a 7 day washout period between doses.

Participants will be fasted for at least 10 hours overnight before the administration of the study drug. Standardised meals will be provided from 4 hours after study drug administration. Drinking water will be restricted for 1 hour before and after drug administration (not including the standardised 240mL of water given with the study drug.

Comparator: Panadol as a single oral dose of two tablets (total dose paracetamol 1000mg).
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 287753 0
To describe the amount of paracetamol and its metabolites excreted in the urine after a single dose of paracetamol alone or in combination with ibuprofen (Maxigesic).

This will be assessed by measuring the total amount of paracetamol and its metabolites excreted in the urine over 24 hours and the 24 hour extretion rate of paracetamol and its metabolites.
Timepoint [1] 287753 0
Urine will be collected over the study period (24 hours after dosing).
Secondary outcome [1] 298771 0
To examine the safety and tolerability of Maxigesic.

Safety will be evaluated during each study period, and for 7 days following study drug administration. Acute safety evaluations will be performed during each study period by recording spontaneously reported AE's and by clinical assessments (incl. heamatology & biochemistry).

Known NSAID adverse effects (i.e. GI ulceration, indigestion/stomach pain, GI bleeding, bronchospasm, water retention, renal failure, skin reactions and thromboembolic events) and known paracetamol adverse effects (i.e. clinical evidence of hepatotoxicity) will be compared between groups.
Timepoint [1] 298771 0
Adverse event reporting will be by spontaneous reproting up to 7 days after dosing, and by a follow up phone call 7 days after the last dose of the study medication.
