About this study

Official title: Open Label, Three-Way Study to Assess the Absorption and Tolerability of Intranasal Ketorolac Tromethamine and to Assess the Effects of a Single Dose of Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride and Multiple Doses of Fluticasone Propionate on the Absorption and Tolerability of Intranasal Ketorolac Tromethamine in Participants With Allergic Rhinitis

This was an open label, three way study in participants with symptomatic allergic rhinitis. The following 3 treatments were administered to each subject during dosing periods 1, 2 and 3, respectively:

  • Treatment A: Single intranasal dose of 30 mg ketorolac tromethamine (one 15 mg spray into each nostril) on Day 1 of Period 1.
  • Treatment B: Single intranasal dose of oxymetazoline hydrochloride followed by a single intranasal dose of 30 mg ketorolac tromethamine (one 15 mg spray into each nostril) 30 minutes later on Day 1 of Period 2.
  • Treatment C: Seven days of treatment with intranasal fluticasone propionate (between Periods 2 and 3) followed by a single intranasal dose of 30 mg ketorolac tromethamine (one 15 mg spray into each nostril) on Day 1 of Period 3.

Subjects remained resident in the Clinical Unit from Day 1 until the morning of Day 2 in each period and there was a washout period of 2 to 7 days between periods. A post study medical was performed within 7 days of Period 3.

The objectives of this study were:

  • To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of intranasal ketorolac in participants with symptomatic allergic rhinitis.
  • To assess the effects of a single dose of intranasal oxymetazoline hydrochloride on the pharmacokinetics and tolerability of intranasal ketorolac in participants with symptomatic allergic rhinitis.
  • To assess the effects of chronic administration of fluticasone propionate on the bioavailability and tolerability of intranasal ketorolac in participants with symptomatic allergic rhinitis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cmax (the Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration)

    PK analysis by standard model was performed by a pharmacokineticist using model-independent analysis methods in WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times for ketorolac assay were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each time, together with individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.

    Measured: Blood samples for PK analyses were obtained at pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15 and 24 hours post administration of ketorolac tromethamine

  2. Tmax (the Time to Maximum Concentration)

    PK analysis by standard model was performed by a pharmacokineticist using model-independent analysis methods in WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times for ketorolac assay were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each time, together with individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.

    Measured: Blood samples for PK analyses were obtained at pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15 and 24 hours post administration of ketorolac tromethamine

  3. AUC 0-t (the Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) From Time Zero to the Last Quantifiable Time Point Post-dose)

    PK analysis by standard model was performed by a pharmacokineticist using model-independent analysis methods in WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times for ketorolac assay were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each time, together with individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.

    Measured: Blood samples for PK analyses were obtained at pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15 and 24 hours post administration of ketorolac tromethamine

  4. AUC 0-∞ (the AUC From Time Zero to Infinity, Where Possible)

    PK analysis by standard model was performed by a pharmacokineticist using model-independent analysis methods in WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times for ketorolac assay were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each time, together with individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.

    Measured: Blood samples for PK analyses were obtained at pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15 and 24 hours post administration of ketorolac tromethamine

  5. t1/2z (the Terminal Half-life, Where Possible)

    PK analysis by standard model was performed by a pharmacokineticist using model-independent analysis methods in WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times for ketorolac assay were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each time, together with individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.

  6. MRT (the Mean Residence Time)

    PK analysis by standard model was performed by a pharmacokineticist using model-independent analysis methods in WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times for ketorolac assay were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each time, together with individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.

    Measured: Blood samples for PK analyses were obtained at pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15 and 24 hours post administration of ketorolac tromethamine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ketorolac Tromethamine, Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride and Fluticasone Propionate in people with Allergic Rhinitis, run by Egalet Ltd at 1 site in Australia.

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 17 inclusion and 23 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 6 Mar 2018. 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 Australia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Jul 2015). 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?

Cmax (the Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration) (time frame: Blood samples for PK analyses were obtained at pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15 and 24 hours post administration of ketorolac tromethamine). The study lists 6 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 6 Mar 2018.
