About this study

Official title: A Trial to Assess the Injection Site Pain Experience of Excipient Solutions Relevant for Subcutaneous Injection

The purpose of this study is to investigate different solutions used to inject drugs under the skin. The solutions used in the study do not contain the drugs they will be used for, but they do contain excipients, which are inactive substances added to drug solutions to ensure the stability (shelf life and correct activity) of the drug product. The excipients are considered 'inactive substances' compared to the drug, but they may cause an undesirable effect at the injection site in the form of pain. However, their pain-causing potential has never been tested in a systematic way. The purpose of the study is to determine if there is a difference in the injection site pain experience after an injection under the skin (subcutaneous) with 12 different study products. These study products are excipient solutions, which are substances in medications next to the active substance. None of the 12 products include active medication. This study will be performed in 108 healthy male and female volunteers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Trial product 1, Trial product 2 and Trial product 3 in people with Obesity, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 19 Oct 2021. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Intensity of injection site pain (time frame: 1 min after each injection (Day 1 and Day 2)). 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 19 Oct 2021.
