About this study

The study is an investigation to assess the capacity of ascending doses of CX1739 to antagonize the respiratory depressive effect of remifentanil. The study will also investigate whether ascending doses of CX1739 reduce the analgesic effect of remifentanil or alter the BIS measure of sedation and will evaluate the safety of CX1739 when used in conjunction with remifentanil.

Being tested
CX1739 - 300 mg, CX1739 - 600 mg, CX1739 - 900 mg, Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory depression

    Respiratory rate, tidal volume, minute volume as determined by plethysmography

    Measured: Sequence #1 - 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pain tolerance threshold

    Analgesia assessed by pain tolerance threshold to 5, 250, and 2000 Hertz sine-wave electrical stimulation using the quantitative sensory testing device - Neurometer

    Measured: Sequence #2 - 20 minutes

  2. Maintenance of sedation

    Bispectral index (BIS) measure of sedation

    Measured: Sequence #1 - 30 minutes

  3. The number of patients that experience an adverse drug reaction upon ingestion of CX1739 when used alone or in conjunction with remifentanil

    Vital signs, including noninvasive blood pressure, heart rate, RR, end-tidal carbon dioxide, pulse oximetry saturation, and temperature

    • Electrocardiograms
    • Focused physical examinations
    • Adverse events

    Measured: up to 5 weeks

  4. Change in pupil size

    Pupil size will be assessed intermittently with a noninvasive pupillometer incorporated into a pair of glasses placed on the subject's head

    Measured: Sequence #2 - 20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CX1739 - 300 mg, CX1739 - 600 mg and CX1739 - 900 mg in people with Opiate Induced Respiratory Depression, run by RespireRx 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 16 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 2016. 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 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?

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?

Respiratory depression (time frame: Sequence #1 - 30 minutes). 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 28 Jul 2016.
