What participants receive

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

  • SPRIX(intranasal ketorolac tromethamine)Drug

    Dose: Subjects weighing 3.0 kg received 3.15 mg (1 spray/1 nostril), subjects weighing 5.1 - 10.0 kg received 5.25 mg (1 spray/1 nostril), subjects weighing 10.1 - 15.4 kg received 10.5 mg (1 spray/1 nostril), subjects weighing 15.5 - 31.7 kg received 15.75 mg (1 spray/1 nostril), and subjects weighing >=31.8 kg received 31.5 mg (1 spray/2 nostrils).

    Duration of Treatment: Subjects received a dose of SPRIX every 6 hours from the day of surgery until the morning of post-operative Day 2. Dosing may have resumed after final PK assessment of the morning of post-operative Day 3 until post-operative Day 4. A follow-up phone interview took place 14 days after the final dose of study drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cmax

    Blood samples will be collected for PK assessment pre-dose, at .25, .5, .75, 1, 2, and 4 hours after the first dose, at 6 hours immediately before the 2nd dose and before each of the next doses up to the dose to be administered on the morning of post operative Day 2. Blood samples will then be collected for PK assessment at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours after receiving the morning dose on Day 2.

    Measured: Pre-dose, .25, .5, .75, 1, 2, 4, 6 hrs after the 1st dose then prior to each ensuing dose until morning of post-operative Day 2. After a single dose on morning of post-operative Day 2 PK samples will be collected @ 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, & 24 hrs

  2. Ctrough

    Blood samples will be collected for PK assessment pre-dose, at .25, .5, .75, 1, 2, and 4 hours after the first dose, at 6 hours immediately before the 2nd dose and before each of the next doses up to the dose to be administered on the morning of post operative Day 2. Blood samples will then be collected for PK assessment at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours after receiving the morning dose on Day 2.

    Measured: Pre-dose, .25, .5, .75, 1, 2, 4, 6 hrs after the 1st dose then prior to each ensuing dose until morning of post-operative Day 2. After a single dose on morning of post-operative Day 2 PK samples will be collected @ 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, & 24 hrs

  3. tmax

    Blood samples will be collected for PK assessment pre-dose, at .25, .5, .75, 1, 2, and 4 hours after the first dose, at 6 hours immediately before the 2nd dose and before each of the next doses up to the dose to be administered on the morning of post operative Day 2. Blood samples will then be collected for PK assessment at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours after receiving the morning dose on Day 2.

    Measured: Pre-dose, .25, .5, .75, 1, 2, 4, 6 hrs after the 1st dose then prior to each ensuing dose until morning of post-operative Day 2. After a single dose on morning of post-operative Day 2 PK samples will be collected @ 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, & 24 hrs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing SPRIX(intranasal ketorolac tromethamine) in people with Pain, run by Egalet Ltd at 4 sites in Poland.

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 9 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 17 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Poland. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Cmax (time frame: Pre-dose, .25, .5, .75, 1, 2, 4, 6 hrs after the 1st dose then prior to each ensuing dose until morning of post-operative Day 2. After a single dose on morning of post-operative Day 2 PK samples will be collected @ 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, & 24 hrs). 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?
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 17 Mar 2017.
