About this study

Official title: Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomised, Parallel-group Study in Healthy Volunteers to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacodynamic Effects and Pharmacokinetics of Twice Daily Intra-anal Application of NRL001-cream for 14 Days.

The study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability after single and repeated twice daily intra-anal applications of 1mL NRL001 cream in stepwise increasing concentrations.

Read the detailed description

Single-centre, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, repeated dose study in healthy male and female volunteers, comprising up to six sequential dose groups receiving 1 mL doses of an investigational cream formulation containing 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00 and 2.50% w/w NRL001. Doses were to be investigated in stepwise increasing fashion. Progression to a higher dose-step required completion of the previous dose-step without safety limiting findings. Each dose-step was to be investigated in 12 subjects; in each dose-group, subjects assigned to active treatment were to be studied in parallel with subjects assigned to placebo in double-blind fashion with random (9:3) treatment assignment. Each subject was to be studied for one study period with double-blind investigational treatment (1 mL of an investigational cream formulation containing NRL001 or matched placebo) twice daily from the morning of D01 to the afternoon of D14; this phase was to be preceded by a single-blind placebo control day (D-1) with administration of placebo in the morning and afternoon.

Being tested
NRL001 cream 0.5%w/w, NRL001 cream 0.75%w/w, NRL001 cream 1.0%w/w, NRL001 cream 1.5%w/w, NRL001 cream 2.0%w/w

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NRL001 cream 0.5%w/w, NRL001 cream 0.75%w/w and NRL001 cream 1.0%w/w in people with Faecal Incontinence, run by Norgine.

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 6 inclusion and 25 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 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Recumbent and standing blood pressure and pulse rate (time frame: 17 days). The study lists 4 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 19 Sep 2024.
