What is being measured

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

  1. Cmax

    For Treatment A, serial blood samples were taken at 0 (predose), 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 120, 180, 240, 360, 480, 600, 720, 800, and 840 minutes, and 24 hours after the Sufentanil NanoTab dose on Day 1.

    For Treatment B, serial blood samples were collected at 0, 20, 120, 240, 360, 480, 600, 720, 760, 780, 785, 790, 795, 800, 810, 820, 830, 840, 850, 860, 870, 900, 960, 1020, 1140, 1260, 1380, 1500, 1580, and 1620 minutes, and 37 hours after the first Sufentanil NanoTab dose on Day 3

    Measured: 24 hours in Treatment A, 37 hours in Treatment B

  2. Time to Steady State

    Steady state, for the cohort, was assessed using Helmert's method (ratio of the geometric mean concentration of each time point to the geometric mean concentrations pooled over all remaining time points, and achieved at the first not-statistically significant time point (i.e., p >0.05)

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. CST½

    the time for plasma concentrations to decrease from Cmax to 50% of Cmax after discontinuation of drug administration

    Measured: 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Single dose of SUF NT 15 mcg and 40 consecutive doses of SUF NT 15 mcg taken every 20 minutes in people with Plasma Concentrations, run by Talphera, 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 1 Oct 2015. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Feb 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Cmax (time frame: 24 hours in Treatment A, 37 hours in Treatment B). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01761565, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Oct 2015.
