About this study

Official title: A Phase 4, Open-Label Study of the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Diclofenac Potassium Oral Solution in Pediatric Subjects (Ages 2-12 Years) With Mild to Moderate Acute Pain

As part of the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) commitment, the objectives of the study are to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and to determine the safety and tolerability of diclofenac potassium oral solution in pediatric subjects experiencing mild to moderate acute pain.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label study with pediatric subjects, ages 2-12 years, who will be dosed with diclofenac potassium oral solution, based on weight, every 6 hours as needed for the treatment of mild to moderate acute pain for up to 4 days. PK samples will be collected through 6 hours after the first dose. Safety data will be collected throughout the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing diclofenac potassium oral solution in people with Pain, run by Depomed at 5 sites 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 6 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 11 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jul 2017). 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?

To Characterize the Pharmacokinetic (PK) Profile of a Single Dose of Diclofenac Potassium Oral Solution, With Weight-based Dosing, in Pediatric Subjects, Ages 2-12 Years Experiencing Mild to Moderate Acute Pain (1 of 8). (time frame: 6 hours (pre-dose, 15, 30, and 60 min, and 2, 4, and 6 hrs post-dose)). The study lists 8 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 11 Jul 2017.
