Inclusion criteria

  • Males, non-smokers, between 18-55 years of age
  • Subjects' weight will be within 15% of their ideal weight based on the Table of "Desirable Weight of Adults", Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, 1983.
  • 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:

  • abnormalities found during medical screening
  • Any clinically significant history of ongoing gastrointestinal problems or problems known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of drugs (e.g. chronic diarrhea, inflammatory bowel diseases).
  • Clinically significant illnesses within 4 weeks of the administration of study medication.
  • Abnormal laboratory test judged clinically significant.
  • or vital signs abnormalities (clinically significant).
  • History of allergic reactions to doxycycline or other related drugs (e.g., chlortetracycline, demeclocycline, minocycline and tetracycline).
  • History of allergic reactions to heparin.
  • Any food allergies, intolerances, restrictions, or special diet which in the opinion of the medical sub-investigator, contraindicates the subject's participation in this study.
  • Positive urine drug screen (see section VIII) at screening
  • Positive testing for , or screening.
  • Use of an drug or participation in an investigational study, within 30 days prior to administration of the study medication.
  • Recent donation of plasma (500 mL) within 7 days or recent donation or significant loss of whole blood (450 mL) with 56 days prior to 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 (1 Unit = 150 mL of wine or 360 mL of beer or 45 mL of alcohol 40%)
  • Recent history of drug abuse or use of illegal drugs: use of soft drugs (such as marijuana, pot) within 3 months of the screening visit or hard drugs (such as cocaine, phencyclidine (PCP), crack) within 1 year of the screening visit.
  • Subjects who have taken prescription medication 14 days preceding administration of study medication or over the counter products 7 days preceding administration of study medication, except for topical products without systemic absorption.
  • Subjects who have taken any drugs known to induce or inhibit hepatic drug metabolism within 30 days prior to administration of the study medication (examples of inducers: barbiturates, carbamazepine, phenytoin, , rifampin/rifabutin; examples of inhibitors: antidepressants, cimetidine, diltiazem, erythromycin, ketoconazole, MAO inhibitors, neuroleptics, verapamil, quinidine).
  • Subjects who have undergone clinically significant surgery 4 weeks prior to the administration of the study medication.
  • Any reason which, in the opinion of the medical sub-investigator, would prevent the subject from participating in the study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

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.

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.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
