A Phase 1 study testing Zucapsaicin in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Winston Laboratories at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
To evaluate the tolerability of two different strengths of a Civamide Patch (0.0075% and 0.0150%) compared to the placebo patch and each other in healthy adult volunteers. To assess the pharmacokinetics of civamide and to determine if there is systemic absorption of the drug from civamide patch in a subset of study… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Evaluation of the Tolerability of Two Civamide (Zucapsaicin) Patch Strengths Compared to Placebo Patch in Healthy Volunteers
To evaluate the tolerability of two different strengths of a Civamide Patch (0.0075% and 0.0150%) compared to the placebo patch and each other in healthy adult volunteers. To assess the pharmacokinetics of civamide and to determine if there is systemic absorption of the drug from civamide patch in a subset of study subjects.
Read the detailed description
This is a double-blind, randomized study of the tolerability of two different strengths of a Civamide Patch compared to placebo patch. The study consists of a Screening Period (Days -21 to Day 1), a one week Treatment Period (Days 1-8) and a follow-up telephone call to subjects on Day 10.
Pharmacokinetics will be assessed relative to dosing on Day 1, Day 2, and Day 8 in a subset of subjects. Subjects will also rate stinging and burning sensation at the application site during the Treatment Period.
Twenty-four (24) hours after the last patch application, subjects will return to the study site on Day 8. The treatment area will be evaluated by the Study Physician. Subjects will complete a Subject's Global Rating of Stinging and Burning Sensation and a Subject's Global Rating of Tolerability.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Zucapsaicin in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Winston Laboratories 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 11 inclusion and 18 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 10 Jun 2011. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
Subject's Rating of Stinging and Burning Sensation (time frame: 7 Days). 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 10 Jun 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
