    Also called Cuprofen

    Subjects randomized to receive Ibuprofen will receive placebo to ICA-105665 at all scheduled dosing times on Days 1 to 4 and a single dose of 800 mg Ibuprofen on the morning of Day 4.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Also called orange Syrup BP

    Subjects randomized to receive placebo will receive placebo to ICA

    -105665 at all scheduled dosing times on Days 1 to 4 and placebo to Ibuprofen on the morning of Day 4.

What is being measured

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

  1. Capsaicin: Visual Analogue Scale, hyperalgesia, allodynia, laser Doppler blood flow. UV-B pain assessments: Heat pain detection threshold, Heat pain tolerance threshold (HPTT), Laser Doppler blood flow (intensity and area), Skin temperature.

    Measured: Capsaicin - Time 0, to 2 hours after injection. UV-B Pain: 2 hours post

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. UV-B: Heat pain,Laser Doppler Blood Flow

    Measured: 24 hours after irradiation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ICA-105665 and Ibuprofen in people with Healthy, run by Pfizer 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 7 inclusion and 18 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 28 Sep 2012. 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Capsaicin: Visual Analogue Scale, hyperalgesia, allodynia, laser Doppler blood flow. UV-B pain assessments: Heat pain detection threshold, Heat pain tolerance threshold (HPTT), Laser Doppler blood flow (intensity and area), Skin temperature. (time frame: Capsaicin - Time 0, to 2 hours after injection. UV-B Pain: 2 hours post). 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 28 Sep 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
