About this study

Official title: Phase I, 3-Period, Fasting, Bioavailability, Safety Assessment and PK Study Evaluating Single Dose Administration of i.v. Fentanyl (200 µg) and Single and Multiple Doses of 3 mL of Inhaled AeroLEF (Liposome-Encapsulated Fentanyl 500 µg/mL) Administered in Normal Healthy Subjects

This study was designed to assess single-dose and multiple-dose PK and safety parameters utilizing a dosage of 3 mL (500 µg/mL)AeroLEF delivered via nebulization with the AeroEclipse BAN device. The study was conducted in opioid naïve subjects who were not blocked with naloxone or other opioid receptor antagonists.

Read the detailed description

Period I: Subjects received an i.v.dose of fentanyl (200 µg) (Treatment A).

Period II: Subjects were randomly assigned to receive either a single-dose (Treatment B) or multi-dose (Treatment C) of AeroLEF.

In the multi-dose Treatment C group, subjects received a dose of 3 mL AeroLEF every 12 hours for a total of five doses over a 3 days with a 4 week washout period before crossing over to Period III.

Period III: Subjects from Period II participated in the crossover study and receive either a multi-dose (Treatment C, 5 doses at 12 hour intervals) or a single dose (Treatment B). Subjects in Treatment B or Treatment C were instructed to continue inhalation of AeroLEF for approximately one (1) minute beyond the point of nebulizer sputter to ensure that all aerosolized medication was delivered.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing i.v. fentanyl and 3 mL AeroLEF (500 µg/1 mL) in people with Healthy, run by YM BioSciences at 1 site in Canada.

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 6 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 3 Jul 2008. 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 Canada. 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?

Adverse Events (time frame: continuously). 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 3 Jul 2008.
