About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Blinded, Controlled Study of NV-101 for Efficacy, Pharmacodynamics and Safety in Dental Patients Undergoing Maxillary Procedures

This Phase 3 clinical study is designed as a multicenter, randomized, blinded, controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, pharmacodynamics, and safety of NV-101 administered as a submucosal injection following completion of a restorative or periodontal maintenance procedure requiring local anesthesia with an agent containing a vasoconstrictor. Local vasodilatation that results in more rapid clearance of the anesthetic is the proposed mechanism of action.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Phentolamine Mesylate (NV-101)Drug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. to determine if NV-101 accelerates time to normal sensation of the upper lip compared to control, as measured by standardized palpation procedure

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. to determine if NV-101 accelerates the time to STAR-7 score of zero, as measured by soft tissue anesthesia questionnaire

  2. to determine if NV-101 accelerates the time to normal function, as measured by a functional assessment battery

  3. to determine if NV-101 accelerates the time to normal sensation of the tongue, as measured by standardized palpation procedure

  4. to characterize the pharmacodynamic profile of NV-101, as measured by onset and offset of treatment effect

  5. to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NV-101

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Phentolamine Mesylate (NV-101) in people with Anesthesia, Dental, run by Novalar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Nov 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

to determine if NV-101 accelerates time to normal sensation of the upper lip compared to control, as measured by standardized palpation procedure. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Nov 2006.
