Who may be able to join

  • Subject is able to read, understand, and sign the approved informed consent form.
  • Subject is an adult between 18 and 45 years of age, inclusive, who has been evaluated and scheduled for an elective third molar surgical extraction (targeting 1 or 2 third molars, at least 1 of which is mandibular and fully or partially impacted by bone).

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Ranging Study To Determine The Efficacy and Safety of Buprenorphine (as NTC-510 and NTC-510A) in Subjects With Pain Following Surgical Extraction of 1 or 2 Third Molars.

To evaluate the efficacy of a single dose NTC-510 or NTC-510A for dental pain following third molar extraction.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study to evaluate the efficacy, concentration versus efficacy relationship, and safety of NTC-510 and NTC-510A at doses of 2.0, 1.0, and 0.5 mg.

The study will consist of 4 phases: screening (within 28 days before check-in), check-in (before surgery on Day 1), treatment (surgery, randomization, and treatment with study drug on Day 1), and follow up (Days 6 to 8). During the screening phase, screening procedures will be performed, subject eligibility will be determined, and written consent will be obtained. Subjects will then undergo dental surgery to extract 1 or 2 third molars (with at least 1 partial or complete bony mandibular extraction). The impaction score ([1] erupted in tissue, [2] broken soft tissue, [3] partial bony impaction, and [4] full bony impaction) will be collected for statistical adjustment should there be randomization imbalance. The surgery will be conducted according to standard clinical unit procedures.

What participants receive

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

  • NTC-510 capsulesDrug

    Subjects will be randomized to one of 3 groups and NTC-510 will be given as a single oral dose of 2.0 mg, a split dose of 2.0 mg followed by 2.0 mg an hour later, or 6.0 mg for acute pain relief (PR) following third molar extraction.

  • Placebo CapsulesDrug

    Also called placebo capsule

    Subjects will be randomized to one of 3 groups and placebo capsules will be given as a single oral dose of for acute dental pain following third molar extraction.

  • NTC-510A CapsulesDrug

    Also called buprenorphine capsules

    Subjects will be randomized to one of 3 groups where NTC-510A or placebo will be given as a single oral dose of 2.0, 4.0, or 6 mg for acute pain relief (PR) following third molar extraction

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate the number of subjects with adverse events following a single oral dose of 2.0, 1.0, or 0.5 mg for acute pain relief (PR) following third molar extraction

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing NTC-510 capsules and NTC-510A Capsules in people with Dental Pain, run by NanoSHIFT LLC 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 7 inclusion and 22 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 23 Jun 2017. 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 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: safety and efficacy after cohort 5 did not warrant further dose escalation). 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?

Decrease in dental pain when taking a single doses of NTC-510 or NTC-510A at 2.0, 1.0, or 0.5 mg following third molar extraction. (time frame: 24 hours). 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 23 Jun 2017.
