The research physician about this research

Additional information

In this trial, it is examined how safe the new compound is and how well it is tolerated if it is used by healthy participants. It is also being investigated how quickly and to what extent the new compound is absorbed and excreted by the body. The compound will be tested in different strengths. The trial consists of two sequential parts: part A and part B. You can only participate in either Part A or Part B.

In part B, a DEXA scan will be done during the screening and the follow-up. This will be performed during a separate visit. This test is used to measure your bone density. You will be asked to lie on a table called a DEXA scanner. An electronic arm will pass over your body and uses a low dose of X-rays to collect this information. A scan takes 10 to 20 minutes and is safe and noninvasive.

Für Deutschland: Bitte beachten Sie: Die Arzneimittelstudien finden im niederländischen Groningen statt. Sie müssen Englisch oder Niederländisch sprechen, verstehen und lesen können, um an einer Studie teilnehmen zu können.

How long does this research take?

Period of stay and research

Part A: The trial consists of 1 period during which you will stay in the research facility in Groningen (location van Swietenlaan 6) for 9 days (8 nights), followed by 8 short visits. The follow-up will be during the final short visit.

Part B: The trial consists of 4 periods in the research facility in Groningen (location van Swietenlaan 6). The first period is a stay of 12 days (11 nights). The second and third periods are both 3 days (2 nights) stays. The fourth period is a stay of 7 days (6 nights). There is 1 short visit between the second and third period and between the third and fourth period. After the fourth period, 8 short visits will follow.

There is also a follow-up DEXA-scan at or near the final study visit.

Note: You must be available for all dates to be able to participate in this clinical trial. 

Frequently asked questions

You may take part in four studies per year. There must be a period of at least 30 days between each study. A longer waiting time applies for some studies. 

Unfortunately, not all side effects of a drug can be predicted. However, doctors can estimate which side effects will occur based on previous research. During the study, the doctors and nurses carefully monitor participants. 

 

 

 

No. The amount of compensation for participating in a trial is based on the length of the trial. The longer the trial lasts and the more times you need to come back in, the higher the compensation. The compensation is provided to reimburse you for your time as a participant. The Medical Research Ethics Committee (MREC) ensures that the compensation is reasonably proportionate to the time you spend as a participant.
