About this study

Official title: Clinical Investigation to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Performance of the Medicsen Smartpatch, a Non-Invasive Ultrasound-Based Drug Delivery Medical Device (SOUNDD Study)

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand the efficacy of Medicsen's Smartpatch to deliver drugs through the skin in healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is the administration with Medicsen Smartpatch safe for the patient?
  • Can Medicsen's Smartpatch be used to effectively administer drugs to patients?
Read more

Researchers will compare administration with Medicsen's Smartpatch with the subcutaneous administration of the drug to see if the efficacy and safety are comparable

Participants will be asked to fill a tolerability survey after receiving each of the two interventions: Subcutaneous administration and Medicse's Smartpatch.

Blood samples will be taken at different timepoints to asses for efficacy of each treatment.

Read the detailed description

The clinical investigation will be conducted in two stages:

Stage 1: A first-in-human pilot study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and exploratory performance of the Medicsen Smartpatch for drug delivery in healthy volunteers: a single-center, open-label study.

Stage 2: A confirmatory study to evaluate the performance of the Medicsen Smartpatch by comparing sonophoresis with subcutaneous drug delivery: a randomized, single-dose, open-label, two-way crossover study in healthy volunteers.

Study subjects will be monitored for device-attributable adverse effects during the scheduled examinations and at any examinations resulting from study subjects' self-reported concerns. A licensed physician will review any unanticipated adverse events associated with the protocol.

Conditions

Being tested
Medicsen Smartpatch, Subcutaneous (SC) single dose

What participants receive

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

  • Medicsen SmartpatchDevice

    This intervention consists of administering the drug using the Medicsen Smartpatch, a non-invasive, needle-free drug delivery device that utilizes sonophoresis technology to enhance absorption through the skin.

  • Subcutaneous (SC) single doseDevice

    This intervention consists of administering the drug via standard subcutaneous injection using a pre-filled pen injector

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 7 inclusion and 8 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2026. 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 Spain. 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Stage 1 - Device-related adverse events (adverse device effects; ADEs) (time frame: Periprocedural). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07615959, which also lists 19 linked publications.

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.
