Inclusion criteria

  • Subjects will be females or males, smokers or non-smokers
  • 18 years of age and older
  • Subjects should read, sign and date an Form prior to any study procedures
  • Subjects must complete all screening procedures within 28 days prior to the administration of the study medication

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Breast feeding female subjects
  • anormalities found during medical screening
  • Any clinically significant gastrointestinal pathology or unresolved gastrointestinal symptoms susceptible of interfering with the absorption of drugs
  • Clinically significant illnesses within 4 weeks of the administration of study medication
  • Abnormal laboratory tests judged clinically significant
  • abnormalities or vital sign abnormalities at screening
  • Subjects with greater than or equal to 30.0
  • History of allergic reactions to cabergoline or ergot derivatives
  • Any food allergies, intolerances, restrictions, or special diet which in the opinion of the medical subinvestigator, contraindicates the subject's participation in the study
  • Positive urine drug screen at screening
  • Positive testing for , or at screening
  • Positive urine pregnancy test at screening (performed on all females)
  • Use of drug or participation in an investigational study, within 30 days prior to administration of the study medication
  • Donation of plasma (500 mL) within 7 days or donation or significant loss of whole blood (450 mL) within 56 days prior to the administration of the study medication
  • History of significant alcohol abuse within six months of the screening visit or any indication of the regular use of more than two units of alcohol per day
  • History of drug abuse or use of illegal drugs: use of soft drugs (marijuana, pot) within 3 months of the screening visit or hard drugs (cocaine, PCP, crack)within 1 year of the screening visit
  • Subjects who have taken prescription medication within 14 days prior to administration of study medication or over-the-counter products within 7 days prior to administration of study medication, except for topical products without systemic absorption
  • Female subjects of who have had unprotected sexual intercourse with any non-sterile male partner (i.e. male who has not been sterilized by vasectomy for at last 6 months) within 14 days prior to the study drug administration. The acceptable methods of are condom + spermicide (at least 14 days prior to study drug administration), diaphragm + spermicide (at least 14 days prior to study drug administration)or intrauterine contraceptive device (placed at least 4 weeks prior to study drug administration
  • Subjects who have taken any drugs known to induce or inhibit hepatic drug metabolism within 30 days prior to administration of the study medication
  • Subjects who have undergone clinically significant surgery within 4 weeks prior to the administration of the study medication
  • Any reason which, in the opinion of the medical subinvestigator, would prevent the subject from participating in the study
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(10)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
