About this study

Official title: A First-in-human Explorative Pilot Study in Healthy Volunteers Measuring Eye Parameters With a New Mobile Phone Application for Future Monitoring of Patients in Treatment of Substance Use Disorder

This is a pre-market, explorative, early feasibility, pilot, controlled clinical investigation designed to collect initial clinical data on the medical device Previct Drugs.

Read the detailed description

This first study will give valuable information on the feasibility of Previct Drugs function to measure pupils and eye movements and to evaluate if there are any changes in the pupillometric parameters before and after intake of a medicinal product. It will also provide information on the usability of the device. Drug intake will in this first investigation be simulated by a controlled single application of commonly therapeutically used medicinal products from the following classes of drugs: phenethylamines (D1), benzodiazepines (D2), cannabinoids (D3), and opioids (D4).

What is being measured

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

  1. Use of Self-administered Pupillometry Using a Mobile Phone Application Can be Used to Collect Pupillograms Before and Under the Influence of Phenethylamines, Benzodiazepines, Cannabinoids, and Opioids (D1-D4).

    For each medicinal product (D1-D4), the fraction of collected pupillometry data from the mobile phone application at baseline and under the influence of D1-D4, which can be transformed into pre-defined key features using native pupillogram. A key feature represents an eye characteristic (such as pupil size, iris position, and the similar). A successful transformation is characterised by underlying quality control algorithms approving the extracted magnitude, where poor quality pupillograms are rejected from analysis. Each attempt to transform a pupillogram into key features is denoted an "Attempt", and the successful transformation is denoted a "Successful attempt".

    Measured: Day 7 +/- 2 days (Visit 2)

Secondary outcomes (29)
  1. Use of Self-administered Pupillometry Using a Mobile Phone Application, After Refining the Method for Establishing Pupillograms, Can be Used to Collect Pupillograms Before and Under the Influence of Each Medicinal Product (D1-D4).

    For each medicinal product (D1-D4), the fraction of collected pupillometry data from the mobile phone application at baseline and under the influence of D1-D4, which can be transformed into pre-defined key features using refined pupillogram. A key feature represents an eye characteristic (such as pupil size, iris position, and the similar). A successful transformation is characterised by underlying quality control algorithms approving the extracted magnitude, where poor quality pupillograms are rejected from analysis. Each attempt to transform a pupillogram into key features is denoted an "Attempt", and the successful transformation is denoted a "Successful attempt.

    Measured: Day 7 +/- 2 days (Visit 2)

  2. Number of Key Features With Change From Baseline to Peak Concentration in Plasma, Using Refined Pupillograms.

    For each medicinal product (D1-D4), number of changed key features from baseline to the LC-MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass-Spectroscopy) verified peak concentration in plasma after administration of medicinal product at visit 2 using refined pupillograms. Each of the 24 key features represents an eye characteristic (such as pupil size, iris position, and the similar). A key feature is considered "changed" if the difference between averages at baseline and peak concentration is significant (p<0.05). Key features were available from two conditions, one condition where pupillograms and corresponding key features were collected in dim ambient light (50 Lux) and one condition where pupillograms and corresponding key features were collected in bright ambient light (500 Lux). The Outcome Measure is reported for both ambient light conditions.

    Measured: Day 7 +/- 2 days (Visit 2)

  3. Number of Key Features for Which Correlation Between Pupillometric Variables and Concentration in Plasma Over Time is Significant for Each Medicinal Product D1-D4 and Ambient Light Condition.

    For each medicinal product (D1-D4), number of significant correlations between key features and plasma concentration over time using refined pupillograms. A key feature represents an eye characteristic (such as pupil size, iris position, and the similar). A key feature is considered "correlated" if the slope in a linear regression is significantly different from zero (p<0.05). The term correlated over time refers to data collected during 5 hours at Visit 2 after administration of D1-D4. Key features were available from two conditions, one condition where pupillograms and corresponding key features were collected in dim ambient light (50 Lux) and one condition where pupillograms and corresponding key features were collected in bright ambient light (500 Lux). The Outcome Measure is reported for both ambient light conditions.

    Measured: Day 7 +/- 2 days (Visit 2)

  4. Number of Key Features With Change From Baseline to 5 Hours After Administration of Medicinal Product, Using Refined Pupillograms.

    For each medicinal product (D1-D4), number of changed key features from baseline to 5 hours after administration of medicinal product at visit 2 using refined pupillograms. A key feature represents an eye characteristic (such as pupil size, iris position, and the similar). A key feature is considered "changed" if the difference between averages at baseline and at 5 hours is significant (p<0.05). Key features were available from two conditions, one condition where pupillograms and corresponding key features were collected in dim ambient light (50 Lux) and one condition where pupillograms and corresponding key features were collected in bright ambient light (500 Lux). The Outcome Measure is reported for both ambient light conditions.

    Measured: Day 7 +/- 2 days (Visit 2)

  5. Number of Correct Classifications of Subjects, Evaluated Using a Combination of Different Pupillometric Variables for Indicating Use of Each Medicinal Product D1-D4 and Ambient Light Condition.

    For each medicinal product (D1-D4), evaluate known combinations of key features that changes from baseline to the LC-MS/MS verified peak concentration in plasma after administration of medicinal product at visit 2 using refined pupillograms. A key feature represents an eye characteristic (such as pupil size, iris position, and the similar). A combination of key features collected at peak plasma concentration was used to build a logistic regression classifier, and the resulting counts of true positives, true negatives, false positives, and false negatives are presented. Key features were available from two conditions, one condition where pupillograms and corresponding key features were collected in dim ambient light (50 Lux) and one condition where pupillograms and corresponding key features were collected in bright ambient light (500 Lux). The Outcome Measure is reported for both ambient light conditions. Key feature values were missing in a few instances, as shown in the table.

Model description
Subjects will be randomized to one out of four arms, i.e., single application of either phenethylamines, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, or opioids. The investigation aims to enroll 11 subjects, i.e., healthy volunteers, per medicinal product group that have completed the clinical investigation until the telephone follow-up call. For four medicinal products, the total will be 44 subjects. In order to take account for a drop-out rate of 10%, 12 subjects will be included per medicinal product group and in total 48 subjects in the clinical investigation. As this is an early feasibility and explorative investigation, the sample size is not derived from a sample size calculation as no hypothesis is pre-defined.
