About this study

Official title: A Pilot, Phase I, 2-Period, Fasting, Bioavailability, Safety and PK Study Evaluating A Single Dose Intravenous Fentanyl 200 µg) and Single Doses of 2 or 3 mL AeroLEF (Liposome-Encapsulated Fentanyl 500 µg/mL) in Normal Healthy Non Subjects

This was a pilot, phase I, two-period, fasting, bioavailability, safety,and pharmacokinetic study evaluating single dose of i.v. fentanyl (200 µg) and single doses of 2 mL or 3 mL inhaled AeroLEF (500 µg/mL) delivered by nebulization with the AeroEclipse BAN device administered in normal healthy non-smoking subjects.

Read the detailed description

In Period I, subjects received an intravenous dose of fentanyl (200 µg) administered over 1 minute (Treatment A). Subjects then crossed over to Period II.

In Period II, subjects were randomly assigned to receive either 2 mL (1000 µg fentanyl; Treatment B) or 3mL (1500 µg fentanyl; Treatment C) of AeroLEF delivered by nebulization with the AeroEclipse BAN. Subjects were instructed to continue inhalation of AeroLEF for approximately 1 minute beyond the point of nebulizer sputter to ensure that all aerosolized medication was delivered. There was at least a 1 week washout period between study periods.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing i.v. fentanyl and AeroLEF in people with Healthy, run by YM BioSciences at 1 site in Canada.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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 2 Jul 2008. 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 Canada. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Adverse Events (time frame: continuously). 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 2 Jul 2008.
