About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Single-Center, Open-Label, Randomized, Parallel-Groups, Dose-Ranging Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Intranasally Administered Kovacaine Mist for Anesthetizing Maxillary Teeth in Pediatric Subjects

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of intranasally administered Kovacaine Mist for anesthetizing maxillary teeth in pediatric subjects.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, open-label, randomized, parallel-groups, dose-ranging study to assess the efficacy and safety of intranasally administered Kovacaine Mist for anesthetizing maxillary teeth in pediatric subjects.

The study will employ an open-label design to determine the lowest effective doses (LEDs), and assess the safety and efficacy of Kovacaine Mist administered intranasally for inducing pulpal anesthesia of maxillary primary teeth numbers A to J and maxillary permanent teeth numbers 4 to 13 (maxillary right second premolar to maxillary left second premolar) sufficient to allow completion of the Study Dental Procedure, and will be carried out in healthy children of either sex between the ages of 3 and 17 years, inclusive.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Completed the Study Dental Procedure Without Need for Rescue by Injection of Local Anesthetic.

    If the participant does not have sufficient anesthesia to complete the Study Dental Procedure, the participant is given a rescue injection of local anesthetic and is considered a failure for this outcome.

    Measured: at 14 minutes with a 3 minute window

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Naris Examination (NE) to Assess Reactions to the Study Drug.

    The principal investigator will perform a visual inspection to note number of participants at post-dose that have a ulceration, inflammation or minor bleeding.

    Measured: At Baseline and 120 Minutes

  2. Systolic Blood Pressure

    Measured: At Baseline, 12 minutes, and 120 minutes

  3. Diastolic Blood Pressure

    Measured: At Baseline, 12 minutes, and 120 minutes

  4. Heart Rate

    Measured: At Baseline, 12 minutes, and 120 minutes

  5. Oxygen Saturation

    Measured: At Baseline, 12 minutes, and 120 minutes

  6. Number of Participants With Adverse Events by Dose Level and Age

    Measured: from baseline to 24 hours following drug administration

  7. Incidence of Adverse Events by Dose Level Regardless of Age

    Measured: from baseline to 24 hours following drug administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 400uL of Kovacaine Mist, 200uL of Kovacaine Mist and 120uL of Kovacaine Mist in people with Anesthesia, run by St. Renatus, LLC 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 8 inclusion and 16 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 30 Aug 2017. 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 30 Aug 2017). 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?

Number of Participants Who Completed the Study Dental Procedure Without Need for Rescue by Injection of Local Anesthetic. (time frame: at 14 minutes with a 3 minute window). 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 30 Aug 2017.
