Study summary

This study will evaluate bioavailability and food effect of selumetinib (AZD6244) in healthy male participants. A total of 24 healthy male participants will be included to ensure at least 20 evaluable participants. The study is divided in 2 study parts; the same participants will participate in both parts of the study. Part 1 of the study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the selumetinib granule compared to the PK of selumetinib capsule, when administered with water under the fasted conditions. Part 2 of the study is to investigate the PK of selumetinib granule and capsule under fed conditions. Participants will also receive a single 500 mg dose of acetaminophen at the same time as selumetinib administration.

Read the detailed description

This study will be a 2-part, open-label, single-center relative bioavailability and food effect randomized crossover study of new granule and capsule formulations of selumetinib. A total of 24 healthy male participants aged between 18 to 45 years (inclusive), will be included to ensure at least 20 evaluable participants. The study is divided in 2 study parts; the same participants will participate in both parts of the study.

Part 1 of the study is designed to investigate the PK of the selumetinib granule compared to the PK of selumetinib capsule, when administered with water under the fasted conditions. Part 2 of the study is designed to investigate the PK of selumetinib granule and capsule under fed conditions. Participants will consume a low-fat, low-calorie meal. Thirty minutes after the start of the meal, selumetinib will be administered to the participants. In all treatment periods, participants will also receive a single 500 mg dose of acetaminophen at the same time as selumetinib administration where it will act as a marker for gastric emptying. The study will also assess the palatability of the selumetinib granule in both parts of the study.

Each participant will receive the following treatments:

  • Treatment A: 25 mg granule, fasted state
  • Treatment B: 50 mg capsule, fasted state
  • Treatment C: 25 mg granule, fed state
  • Treatment D: 50 mg capsule, fed state Participant will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatment sequences. In all cases the treatments in Part 1 will be administered before the treatments in Part 2. The study will comprise of a screening period of maximum 28 days. Four treatment periods during which participants will be resident from the day before dosing (Day -1) until at least 48 hours after dosing; discharged on the morning of Day 3. A follow-up visit, will be within 7 to 10 days after the last dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP). There will be a minimum washout period of at least 5 days between each IMP administration. Each participant will be involved in the study for approximately 8 to 9 weeks.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(16)

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.

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.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

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.

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.

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.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

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.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

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.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Sep 2018 to primary completion in Oct 2018, 1 month.

Of 15 phase 1 interventional studies under Neurofibromatosis 1, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 37. This study's 1 month is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 8, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
