About this study

Official title: Absolute Bioavailability/Pharmacokinetic and Residual Drug Analysis of the Transderm Scōp System in Healthy Adults

The study to be performed will utilize already FDA-approved marketed products in healthy adults for the purpose to generate data for establishing rate of drug delivery of Transderm Scop® TDDS (transdermal drug delivery system) in healthy adults and to ensure safety of individuals utilizing these types of products.

Read the detailed description

Transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) available in the form of patches are convenient, attractive, and easy to use systems. Scopolamine patches are very popular TDDS available on the United States market today. Accurate determination of the rate and extent of drug release and absorption is crucial to ensure the safety of individuals using these and other types of patches. Delivery rate can be determined early in the development process by using in vitro skin flux permeation studies, and later in humans by accurately quantifying residual drug from patches post-wear and in pharmacokinetic studies. In this proposal, the investigators will employ two types of evaluation to determine the rate and extent of drug release and absorption from RLD (reference listed drug) Transderm Scop® TDDS (transdermal drug delivery system), namely residual drug analysis post-wear and pharmacokinetic analysis in healthy adult volunteers. In addition, the investigators will compare the plasma drug concentrations following patch and intravenous administration of Scopolamine, in order to determine the absolute bioavailability of these patches. The investigators will conduct residual drug analysis of TDDS following in vivo wear using highly sensitive validated quantification methods. Positive outcomes of this project will identify appropriate methods to determine the rate and extent of drug release and absorption from TDDS, and will help regulatory agencies in the development of Guidances for Industry regarding the characterization of drug release and absorption kinetics to ensure the safety of individuals utilizing these types of products

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Transderm Scop® and Intravenous scopolamine hydrobromide in people with Healthy, run by University of Iowa 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 17 inclusion and 26 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 21 Jun 2018. 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 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 21 Jun 2018). 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?

Measurement of Maximum Serum Concentration of Scopolamine (Cmax) (time frame: Measured at time points: pre-dose, 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,24,36,48,60, and 72 hours during Intervention: Transderm Scop® and at time points: pre-dose, 2.5,5,10,20,30,45 minutes, 1.5,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12 hours during Intervention: scopolamine HBr). 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 21 Jun 2018.
