About this study

Official title: Ultraviolet Filter Bemotrizinol (BEMT): Clinical Pharmacokinetics Evaluation in a Topical Maximum Usage Trial (MUsT)

An open-label, randomized, 3-arm study in 162 healthy adult subjects with the following primary objective: To assess the systemic absorption and pharmacokinetics of BEMT from 3 market image sunscreen formulations under maximal-use conditions.

Read the detailed description

This study is an open-label, randomized, 3-arm pivotal study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of BEMT after multiple applications of a topical sunscreen formulation in healthy adult subjects.162 subjects will be enrolled (54 subjects per study drug formulation arm) in order to achieve a minimum of 150 completers (50 completers in each arm).There will be an adequate representation of male and female subjects, subjects of all ages (including a sufficient number of elderly subjects), and subjects of different races.

All 162 subjects will randomized at Day -1 and assigned to a treatment arm before study drug application on Day 1.

Treatment: Approximately 2 mg of a sunscreen formulation (approximately 0.12 mg BEMT) per 1 cm2 of body surface area will be applied topically 4 times per study day for 4 days (every 2 hours for 6 hours) to at least 75% of the body surface area.

Subjects will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups within each subgroup; Thus each subject will receive 1 of the sunscreen formulations. Treatment groups:

Treatment Group B: 54 subjects; Treatment: BEMT, PARSOL Shield, 6%, with suitable solubilizers; SU-E-101413-85: Sunscreen oil formulation with 10% ethanol Treatment Group C: 54 subjects; Treatment: BEMT, PARSOL Shield, 6%, with suitable solubilizers, SU-E-101413-87: oil-in-water (O/W) formulation Treatment Croup D: 54 subjects: Treatment: BEMT, PARSOL Shield, 6%, with suitable solubilizers, SU-E-101413-89: water-in-oil (W/O) formulation

Dosing will between 07:00 and 10:00 hours followed by 3 more applications at 2, 4, and 6 hours after the 1st application each day. Blood samples collected from before the 1st application through 96 hours after the 1st application.

The following noncompartmental PK parameters will be calculated for each subject using the plasma BEMT concentration-time data (data permitting):

  • Cmax: Maximum observed concentration; computed for Overall, Day 1, and Day 4
  • Tmax: Time of Cmax; computed for Overall, Day 1, and Day 4
  • C2h: The concentration at 2 hours after the 4th daily study drug application; computed for Days 1, 2, 3, and 4
  • Ctrough: The concentration at the end of the study day; computed for Days 1, 2, 3, and 4 at 23.5, 47.5, 71.5, and 96 hours, respectively
  • AUC: Area under the concentration-time curve from before the first daily dose to the last measurable concentration in the time interval; computed for Overall, Day 1, and Day 4
  • λz: Apparent elimination rate constant, computed from all relevant concentration data following the last study drug application on Day 4
  • t1/2: Terminal elimination half-life, computed from λz

With the time intervals for Overall and Days 1, 2, 3, and 4 defined as:

  • Overall = 0 to 264 hours
  • Day 1 = 0 to 23.5 hours
  • Day 2 = 23.5 to 47.5 hours
  • Day 3 = 47.5 to 71.5 hours
  • Day 4 = 71.5 to 96 hours

Note: If all concentrations for a subject are below the limit of quantitation (BLQ), then only the C2h and Ctrough parameters will be reported for that subject.

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

  1. Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of BEMT

    Assess Cmax (maximum observed drug concentration) of BEMT in plasma from three high-penetrating sunscreen formulations under maximal-use conditions computed for Overall, Day 1, and Day 4. With the time intervals for Overall and Days 1, 2, 3, and 4 defined as: Overall = 0 to 264 hours; Day 1 = 0 to 23.5 hours; Day 2 = 23.5 to 47.5 hours; Day 3 = 47.5 to 71.5 hours; and Day 4 = 71.5 to 96 hours.

    Measured: 4 days

  2. Time of Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) of BEMT

    Assess the time at which the maximum concentration (Cmax) of BEMT occurs in plasma from three high-penetrating sunscreen formulations under maximal-use conditions; Overall, Day 1, and Day 4. With the time intervals for Overall and Days 1, 2, 3, and 4 defined as: Overall = 0 to 264 hours; Day 1 = 0 to 23.5 hours; Day 2 = 23.5 to 47.5 hours; Day 3 = 47.5 to 71.5 hours; and Day 4 = 71.5 to 96 hours.

    Measured: 4 days

  3. Concentration of BEMT at 2 hours (C2h) after the 4th daily study drug application

    Assess the plasma concentration of BEMT at 2 hours after the 4th daily study drug application; computed for Days 1, 2, 3, and 4

    Measured: 4 days

  4. Concentration at the end of the study day (Ctrough)

    Assess plasma concentration of BEMT at the end of the study day, computed for Days 1, 2, 3, and 4 at 23.5, 47.5, 71.5, and 96 hours, respectively

    Measured: 4 days

  5. Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)

    Assess area under the concentration-time curve from before the first daily dose to the last measurable concentration in the time interval); computed for Overall, Day 1, and Day 4.

    Measured: 4 days

  6. Apparent elimination rate constant (λz)

    Assess the apparent elimination rate constant for BEMT in plasma; computed from all relevant concentration data following the last study drug application on Day 4.

    Measured: 4 days

  7. Terminal elimination half-life (t1/2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Bemotrizinol (6%) in people with Pharmacokinetics and Absorption; Chemicals, run by dsm-firmenich Switzerland AG 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 8 inclusion and 15 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 22 Feb 2023. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of BEMT (time frame: 4 days). The study lists 7 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 22 Feb 2023.
