About this study

Official title: INcreased Flow Utilizing Subcutaneously-Enabled Fluids Administration Technique Study (INFUSE-AT): A Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel Group, Phase IV, Study Evaluating the Techniques of Administration of Subcutaneous Fluids Enabled by Human Recombinant Hyaluronidase (Hylenex) in Healthy Adult Volunteers

The purpose is to evaluate the ease of use and technical challenges encountered during subcutaneous infusion of Lactated Ringer's (LR) solution, preceded by recombinant human hyaluronidase (hylenex), utilizing commonly used angiocatheter gauges and button delivery systems. The safety and tolerability of hylenex-augmented SC infusion of LR through these delivery systems is also being evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Technical Challenges

    Protocol-specified challenges encountered during subcutaneous (SC) hylenex administration and/or SC infusion of Lactated Ringer's solution, including SC catheter kinking, catheter/button dislodgement, catheter/button pull-out, infusion pump alarm, other pump failure, healthcare provider intervention to secure/maintain SC infusion eg, re-taping, catheter/button manipulation, etc, and any other type of technical challenge encountered

    Measured: throughout subcutaneous hylenex and fluid administration period (continuous)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Attempts Needed to Successfully Place Subcutaneous Catheter/Button

    Measured: from start of first attempt until completion of catheter/button placement

  2. Time Needed to Successfully Place Subcutaneous Catheter/Button

    Measured: from start of first attempt until completion of catheter/button placement

  3. Time Required to Infuse 1000 mL Fluid

    Measured: from start of Lactated Ringer's (LR) infusion until 1000 mL LR infused

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing hylenex-facilitated subcutaneous Lactated Ringer's infusion in people with Dehydration, run by Baxter Healthcare Corporation at 2 sites 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 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Oct 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Technical Challenges (time frame: throughout subcutaneous hylenex and fluid administration period (continuous)). 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 26 Oct 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
