Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 2 to 16 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female children experiencing severe mouth pain secondary to chemotherapy induced mucositis requiring opioid analgesic therapy and who will be an inpatient, as a minimum up to Day 8 (patch removal).
  • Subjects experiencing 'severe' pain in the Investigators clinical judgment.
  • Body weight ≥ 15 kg. Subjects weighing ≥ 25 kg will be recruited in the first phase of the study with those weighing < 25 kg also being included in the second phase, (after a successful review by an IDSMC). Upper age range to be 16 years.
  • In dwelling IV cannula or central line from which blood can be obtained.
  • Written informed consent obtained from parent(s)/legal representative, and where possible assent obtained from the subject if appropriate, in line with local regulations.
  • Females of child bearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test if the Principal Investigator considers there to be a reasonable possibility of pregnancy.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with known hypersensitivity to buprenorphine or any of its excipients in the transdermal system, as outlined in the Summary of Product Characteristics for BuTrans.
  • Known hypersensitivity to other opioids.
  • Skin disease affecting application or local tolerance of BTDS.
  • Clinically significant history of allergic reaction to wound dressings or adhesives.
  • Severe respiratory impairment.
  • Clinically significant hepatic dysfunction.

  • Severe renal impairment.
  • Subjects who are receiving MAO inhibitors or have taken them within the previous 2 weeks.
  • Subjects receiving hypnotics or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants that, in the investigator's opinion, may pose a risk of additional CNS depression with study medication.
  • Subjects who have taken any buprenorphine preparations in the last 14 days.
  • Subjects with myasthenia gravis.
  • Subjects with convulsive disorders, head injury, shock, or reduced level of consciousness of uncertain origin.
  • Subjects who are currently participating in another clinical research study involving a new chemical entity (NCE) unless the sole purpose of the other trial at the time of BUP1501 screening is for long term follow-up/survival data or subjects who have participated in a clinical study within the previous 30 days. Participation in a chemotherapy clinical trial that is not evaluating a NCE will be accepted for inclusion.
  • Subjects who are pregnant, lactating or in the Investigators opinion are at risk of conceiving.
  • Previous enrollment in this clinical study.
  • Subjects who the Investigator believes are unsuitable for the study.

About this study

Official title: A Multi Centre Open Label Single Therapy Dose Ranging Study to Characterise the Pharmacokinetics & Tolerability of BTDS 5-20 ug/h in Children Who Require Opioid Analgesia for Moderate to Severe Mouth Pain Secondary to Chemotherapy Induced Mucositis.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics and tolerability of buprenorphine patches in children who require opioid pain relief for moderate to severe mouth pain.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be screened for eligibility and if eligible will apply a buprenorphine patch (Day 1). The patch will be worn for 7 days during which time, safety assessments, pain scores, mucositis scores, PK sampling \& vital signs will be assessed on each day. After patch removal subjects will continue with these assessments on a daily basis until Day 12. The subject will then be followed up for 10 days (to Day 22) to collect information on ongoing/new SAEs/AEs.

What is being measured

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

  1. To characterise the pharmacokinetics of BTDS 5-20 ug/h in children weighing >15kg

    Measured: PK's taken daily for 12 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. safety & tolerability of BTDS 5-20ug/h in children

    Measured: every 4 hours to day 5, day 12 and day 21

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted28 Jul 2009 (estimated)
  2. Study startFeb 2010

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Buprenorphine in people with Chemotherapy Induced Mucositis and Mouth Pain, run by Mundipharma Research Limited at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 16 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Denmark, United Kingdom. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was stopped early (reason given: 25 patients have been recruited and it was considered that further recruitment would add no extra PK information). Results are not available in the source record.

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 characterise the pharmacokinetics of BTDS 5-20 ug/h in children weighing >15kg (time frame: PK's taken daily for 12 days). 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 24 Oct 2018.
