  • Positive HIV test result at screening.
  • Positive testing for HBs Antigen and/or a positive Hepatitis C antibody test result at screening.

  • Previous participation in an EXPAREL® study.
  • Administration of an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 elimination half-lives of the investigational drug, whichever is longer, prior to study drug administration, or planned administration of another investigational product or procedure during the subject's participation in this study.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open Label Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of EXPAREL® Following Subcutaneous Administration in Healthy Chinese Subjects

This is a single-center, open-label, single-dose study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics in healthy subjects

Read the detailed description

This is a phase I, open-label, single-dose in healthy subjects conducted at single center.The objectives are to evaluate the metabolic and safety profile of EXPAREL®. Each volunteer will receive one dose of the investigational drug via subcutaneous injection at multiple points during the study period. Study duration is around 54 days, including screening, confinement, ambulatory visit and a phone follow up.

Being tested
Bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. plasma concentration

    Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: up to 14 days

  2. Area under the plasma concentration-versus-time curve

    Area under the plasma concentration-versus-time curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinity after drug administration (AUC0-∞)

    Measured: up to 14 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of adverse events(AEs)which are related to exparel injection

    Adverse events refer to any treatment related abnormality with clinical significance identified by means of vital signs examination, physical check-up, twelve leads electrocardiogram inspection and laboratory tests throughout the study. Adverse events reported by subjects would also be recorded in the entire trial. All these abnormal cases described above would be reported as incidence of adverse events.

    Measured: up to 21 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Nuance Pharma (shanghai) Co., Ltd at 1 site in China.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2020. 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 China. 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 (time frame: up to 14 days). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04158102, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Jan 2020.
