Trial Type Trial ID Title Status Sponsor Phase Start Date Summary
OTC NCT00011063 ↗ Effect of Ginkgo Biloba on Phenytoin Elimination Completed National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) Phase 1 2001-02-01 This study will examine how the herbal remedy ginkgo biloba may affect the body's elimination of other medicines. Many people take ginkgo biloba to improve memory, mental alertness and overall feeling of well being. Since this product is considered a food supplement and not a drug, it is not subject to the rigorous pre-market testing required for prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. As a result, information has not been collected on possible interactions between ginkgo biloba and other medications. This study will look at how ginkgo biloba affects the elimination of phenytoin-a medication used to treat patients with seizures. Normal healthy volunteers 21 years of age or older may be eligible for this 40-day study. Candidates will provide a medical history and undergo a physical examination and routine blood tests. Women of childbearing age must use a reliable form of birth control other than oral contraceptives ("the pill"). For at least 2 weeks before the study and throughout its duration, study participants may not have any of the following: 1) medications that can affect platelet function (e.g., aspirin, Motrin, Advil, Nuprin, ibuprofen, etc.); 2) alcoholic beverages; 3) grapefruit and grapefruit juice; and 4) all medications except those given by study personnel. On day 1 of the study, subjects take one 500-mg dose of phenytoin at 8:00 A.M.. On an empty stomach. (Subjects fast the night before taking the phenytoin and are allowed to eat breakfast 2 hours after the dose). Blood samples are drawn just before dosing and again at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 32, 48, 72 and 96 hours after the dose. Blood drawn on this first study day is collected through a catheter (small plastic tube) placed in a vein to avoid multiple needlesticks. After the 12-hour sample is collected, the subject goes home and then returns to the clinic for the remaining blood draws, which are taken by direct needlestick. When the blood sampling is completed, subjects begin ginkgo therapy. The NIH Clinical Center provides participants a supply of 60-mg capsules of ginkgo to take twice a day (at 8 A.M. and 8 P.M..) for 4 weeks. At the end of the 4 weeks, subjects are given a second dose of phenytoin as described above and repeat the blood sampling procedure. Subjects continue taking ginkgo during this second phenytoin study.
OTC NCT00267293 ↗ Ibuprofen Alone and in Combination With Acetaminophen for Treatment of Fever Completed Children Youth and Family Consortium Phase 4 2006-01-01 Currently, when a child has fever either ibuprofen (e.g. Motrin, Advil) or acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) is given. Both Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen are approved for over the counter use for treatment of fever by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study hopes to determine whether giving both medications together is better than giving one medication alone for the treatment of fever.
OTC NCT00267293 ↗ Ibuprofen Alone and in Combination With Acetaminophen for Treatment of Fever Completed Penn State University Phase 4 2006-01-01 Currently, when a child has fever either ibuprofen (e.g. Motrin, Advil) or acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) is given. Both Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen are approved for over the counter use for treatment of fever by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study hopes to determine whether giving both medications together is better than giving one medication alone for the treatment of fever.

To investigate the possible relationship of AMD with other antioxidants, including selenium and vitamins A, C, and E. To identify potential risk factors for development of AMD. Possible risk factors include height, systemic hypertension, cardiovascular disease, blood cholesterol, cigarette smoking, iris and skin color, sunlight exposure, body mass index, diabetes, and alcohol intake.
NCT00000157 ↗ Randomized Trial of Aspirin and Cataracts in U.S. Physicians Terminated National Eye Institute (NEI) Phase 3 1982-04-01 To determine whether 325 mg of aspirin taken on -alternate days reduces the risk of developing cataract among male U.S. physicians who were aged 40 to 84 in 1982. To identify potential risk factors for cataract development, such as age, blood pressure, blood cholesterol, height, diabetes, medication use, and history of previous eye trauma or surgery.

FAQs

1. What are the advantages of Mepro-aspirin over traditional aspirin?
Mepro-aspirin offers a modified delivery method—nanoparticle, slow-release formulation—that enhances gastrointestinal safety and adherence. Preliminary clinical data suggest comparable efficacy with a better safety profile, especially in bleeding risk reduction.

2. When is Mepro-aspirin expected to be approved globally?
If the ongoing Phase III trials conclude successfully by 2025 and regulatory reviews proceed without delays, commercialization could begin in select markets by late 2025 or early 2026.

3. How does Mepro-aspirin compare cost-wise to existing antithrombotic therapies?
Initial pricing is expected to be higher than generic aspirin but lower than branded, newer antithrombotic agents, justified by enhanced safety and compliance benefits. Economies of scale post-launch could reduce costs.

4. What are the main hurdles for Mepro-aspirin's market entry?
Regulatory approval timelines, clinician acceptance, reimbursement policies, and competition from established therapies are key challenges. Demonstrating significant safety benefits through robust trial data is crucial.

5. What is the competitive landscape for Mepro-aspirin?
The market is fragmented with dominant players like Bayer and Johnson & Johnson, but emerging formulations and novel agents like rivaroxaban and dabigatran challenge traditional aspirin therapies. Mepro-aspirin’s safety profile aims to carve a niche within this competitive environment.
