What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma Concentration of Unconjugated Naloxone

    Measured: Pre-dose and at multiple time points up to 1 hour post-dose

  2. Partial Area Under the Concentration Curve (AUC) of Unconjugated Naloxone

    Measured: Pre-dose and at multiple time points up to 1 hour post-dose

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Area Under the Curve from Time 0 to the Last Measured Concentration (AUC0-t) of Unconjugated Naloxone

    Measured: Pre-dose and at multiple time points up to 24 hours post-dose

  2. Area Under the Curve from Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of Unconjugated Naloxone

    Measured: Pre-dose and at multiple time points up to 24 hours post-dose

  3. Percentage of AUC0-inf Obtained by Extrapolation (AUCextrap) of Unconjugated Naloxone

    Measured: Pre-dose and at multiple time points up to 24 hours post-dose

  4. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Unconjugated Naloxone

    Measured: Pre-dose and at multiple time points up to 24 hours post-dose

  5. Time to Reach Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Unconjugated Naloxone

    Measured: Pre-dose and at multiple time points up to 24 hours post-dose

  6. Last Quantifiable Concentration (Clast) of Unconjugated Naloxone

    Measured: Pre-dose and at multiple time points up to 24 hours post-dose

  7. Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (Tlast) of Unconjugated Naloxone

    Measured: Pre-dose and at multiple time points up to 24 hours post-dose

  8. Time Prior to the First Measurable (Non-Zero) Concentration (Tlag) of Unconjugated Naloxone

    Measured: Pre-dose and at multiple time points up to 24 hours post-dose

  9. Elimination Rate Constant (λz) of Unconjugated Naloxone

    Measured: Pre-dose and at multiple time points up to 24 hours post-dose

  10. Elimination Half-Life (t1/2) of Unconjugated Naloxone

    Measured: Pre-dose and at multiple time points up to 24 hours post-dose

  11. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product during the course of a clinical investigation. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational product, whether or not thought to be related to the investigational product. A serious AE (SAE) is any AE that results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongs existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, is medically significant or requires intervention.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Day 10

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Treatment A: Naloxone Nasal Spray, Treatment B: Naloxone Nasal Spray and Treatment C: Naloxone HCL Intramuscular (IM) Injection in people with Healthy Volunteer, run by INSYS Therapeutics Inc 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 3 inclusion and 10 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 1 Feb 2019. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Plasma Concentration of Unconjugated Naloxone (time frame: Pre-dose and at multiple time points up to 1 hour post-dose). The study lists 2 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 1 Feb 2019.
