Overview

Prazosin hydrochloride (HCl) is a medicine taken by mouth that helps lower high blood pressure. It's used to treat hypertension, as well as heart failure. The purpose of this clinical trial is to prove that the prazosin HCl capsules made at the manufacturing site at Barceloneta (Puerto Rico) work the same in the body, as those made at Ascoli (Italy). This will be done by understanding how the different capsules and doses of prazosin HCL are changed and eliminated from your body after you take them. The study will also check how safe these capsules are and how well people can handle them.

This study is seeking participants ≥ 18 years old, who are healthy and have a total body weight \>50 kg (110 lb). Before starting, participants will be interviewed and examined by skilled personnel to make sure they qualify. This will happen up to 28 days before the first dose of the study drug. Those who are eligible will check into the clinical research unit (CRU) the day before first dose of the study drug and stay there until 24 hours after their last dose \[for approximately 9 days and 8 nights for cohort (group) 1 and 5 days and 4 nights for cohort (group) 2\].

While in CRU each participant will receive by mouth either 4 capsules (cohort 1) or 2 capsules (cohort 2) of prazosin HCL at different time points. The capsules will be taken with a glass of water after overnight fasting. No food is allowed until 4 hours after taking the dose. Water is allowed freely except for 1 hour before dosing and can be consumed again 1 hour after dosing. Blood samples will be taken from participants right before they take the medicine and again after they have taken it. Electrocardiogram and blood pressure will be closely monitored.

We will compare the experiences of people receiving capsules manufactured at Barceloneta to those manufactured at Ascoli. This will help us determine if capsules from Barceloneta and Ascoli are safe and effective.

After completing all tests, participants will leave the CRU. Then, about 28 to 35 days after their final dose, they'll receive a follow-up phone call to check on their health.

The total duration of participation from the initial ("screening") visit to discharge from the CRU will be approximately 5 weeks and from the initial visit to follow up phone call will be approximately 10 weeks.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.
