  • History of hypersensitivity or allergy to propoxyphene or any opioid compound, naloxone, naltrexone, palonosetron (Aloxi®), glycerin, senna, or bisacodyl (Dulcolax®)
  • Use of any prescription medication (with the exception of hormonal contraceptives for females) within 2 weeks of enrollment
  • Use of any over-the-counter medication, including herbal products, within 1 week of enrollment

  • Plasma donation within 7 days of enrollment
  • Participation in another clinical trial within 30 days of enrollment
  • Females who are pregnant or lactating
  • Any other condition or prior therapy, which, in the opinion of the PI, would make the subject unsuitable for this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Multiple-Dose, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Sequential Ascending Dose Levels to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Electrocardiographic Effects of Propoxyphene Napsylate Capsules (and Its Metabolite Norpropoxyphene) When Administered Orally to Healthy Adult Subjects

The purpose of this study is to determine the daily maximum tolerated dose of propoxyphene napsylate in healthy subjects.

Conditions
Healthy
Being tested
Propoxyphene napsylate (XP20C), Placebo

What participants receive

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

  • Propoxyphene napsylate (XP20C)Drug

    Also called propoxyphene napsylate, Darvon-N, XP20C

    100 mg capsules 6 times a day in ascending doses until a maximum tolerated dose is identified

  • PlaceboDrug

    6 times a day in ascending doses until a maximum tolerated dose is identified

Receives: Drug: Propoxyphene napsylate (XP20C)
2Placebo comparatorNot described
Receives: Drug: Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the safety and tolerability of propoxyphene napsylate as determined by evaluation of adverse events, change from baseline of ventricular repolarization, lab results, and mental status

    Measured: Day 13

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Establish the relationship between serum concentrations of propoxyphene and norpropoxyphene on cardiac conduction and pharmacokinetic linearity of sequentially increased dose levels of propoxyphene napsylate.

    Measured: Days -1, 1, 4, 11

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Propoxyphene napsylate (XP20C) in people with Healthy, run by Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals 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 6 inclusion and 15 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 13 Apr 2011. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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. 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?

Determine the safety and tolerability of propoxyphene napsylate as determined by evaluation of adverse events, change from baseline of ventricular repolarization, lab results, and mental status (time frame: Day 13). 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 13 Apr 2011.
