简要总结
Background:
The use of stimulants such as bupropion, enzyme inhibitors such as anastrozole, androgens such as testosterone, antigonadotropins such as danazol, and diuretics such as chlorthalidone have been reported in urine drug testing programs for a wide variety of applications, including anti-doping tests in sport. These substances are subject to screening studies by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Anastrozole, chlorthalidone, testosterone and danazol are included on the WADA list of prohibited substances, while bupropion is included in the 2020 follow-up schedule of substances.
This study aims to characterize the urinary excretion patterns of these substances following the administration of a single dose of each drug at a recommended therapeutic dose.
Hypothesis:
The administration of bupropion, anastrozole, testosterone, danazol or chlorthalidone in healthy subjects allows the generation of detectable concentrations of the drug in urine using the liquid chromatography technique coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Positive urine samples will enable to identify analytical strategies for doping control.
Objectives:
Primary objective: To measure the concentrations of various drugs (anastrozole, bupropion, chlorthalidone, danazol and testosterone) and their metabolites in urine for anti-doping control samples. The detection of new metabolites excreted in urine for longer periods of time than conventional metabolites will improve the ability to detect the abuse of anabolic steroids in sport.
Secondary objective: To assess safety and tolerability of the drugs used.
Methods:
Phase I, unicentric, open, non-randomized, non-controlled clinical trial, with 5 parallel treatment conditions (anastrozole, bupropion, chlorthalidone, danazol and testosterone) administered in a single dose to male healthy volunteers (total n=11).

入选标准
- •Male volunteers aged between 18 and 50 years.
- •Able to understand and accept the trial procedures and able to sign an informed consent.
- •History and physical examination that demonstrate not presenting organic or psychiatric disorders.
- •ECG, blood and urine tests performed before the experimental session within normal limits. Minor or occasional variations of these limits will be allowed if, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator and taking into account the state of science, they have no clinical significance, do not pose a risk to the subject and do not interfere in the product evaluation. These variations and their non-relevance will be specifically justified in writing.
- •Body mass index (weight/height^2) between 19 and 27 kg/m2 and weight between 50 and 100 kg. BMI of 27-28 kg/m2 may be included according to Principal Investigator's criteria.
排除标准
- •Failure to meet inclusion criteria.
- •History of allergy, idiosyncrasy, hypersensitivity or adverse reactions to the active substance or any of the excipients. Lactose intolerance. Serious adverse reactions to any drug.
- •Contraindications to treatment with study drugs (according to the respective summary of product characteristics, SmPC). Especially history or presence of breast cancer, liver cancer, and suspected or confirmed prostate carcinoma.
- •History or current presence of prostate syndrome symptoms: frequent urination (both day and night), difficulty in starting urination, weak or discontinuous urinary stream, feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, or benign prostatic hyperplasia diagnosis.
- •Levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) out of normal range for subject's age, in those receiving anastrozole, testosterone or danazol.
- •Clinical background or evidence of gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal disorder or others that may involve an alteration of the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the drug.
- •Clinical background or evidence of psychiatric disorders, alcoholism, drug abuse or habitual consumption of psychoactive drugs.
- •Having participated in another clinical trial with medication in the three months prior to the start of the study.
- •Having suffered some organic disease or major surgery in the six months prior to the start of the study.
- •Clinical background or evidence of cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, endocrine, gastrointestinal, hematological, neurological, dermatological or other acute or chronic diseases that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator or the collaborators designated by him/her, may pose a risk to the subjects or may interfere with the objectives of the study. Especially history of venous thrombosis or thromboembolic disorders, thrombophilic alteration, edema, hypercalcemia, polycythemia, nephrosis, liver disease with altered liver function tests and porphyria.
- •Having taken medication regularly in the month prior to the study sessions, including vitamins, herbal remedies or dietary supplements. Treatment with a single dose of symptomatic medication in the week prior to the study sessions will not be a reason for exclusion if it is assumed that the drug has been completely eliminated on the day of the experimental session.
- •Smokers of more than 20 cigarettes a day in the 3 months before the study.
- •Consumption of more than 40 g of alcohol daily.
- •Consumers of more than 5 coffees, teas, cola drinks, or other stimulant drinks or with xanthines daily in the 3 months prior to the study start.
- •Being unable to understand the nature, consequences of the trial and the procedures that are asked to follow.
- •Positive serology for hepatitis B, C or HIV.
