About this study

Official title: A Single-Center, Study Evaluating The Pharmacokinetics Of Tetracaine, Para-Butylaminobenzoic Acid, And Oxymetazoline After Intranasal Administration Of Kovacaine Mist To Healthy Pediatric Subjects

The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics and safety of a nasal spray containing the anesthetic drug Tetracaine in combination with Oxymetazoline in healthy pediatric subjects.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics and safety of tetracaine, para- butylaminobenzoic acid (PBBA), and oxymetazoline after intranasal administration of the recommended, weight-based Phase 3 dose of Kovacaine Mist (Tetracaine Hydrochloride with Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride) to healthy pediatric subjects.

Kovacaine Mist is an anesthetic solution containing 3% tetracaine hydrochloride and 0.05% oxymetazoline hydrochloride. A single spray dose of 100 μL Kovacaine Mist contains 3 mg tetracaine HCl and 0.05 mg oxymetazoline HCl. A two-100 μL spray dose (a total of 200 μL) of Kovacaine Mist contains 6 mg tetracaine HCl and 0.1 mg oxymetazoline HCl. A two-200 μL spray dose (a total of 400 μL) of Kovacaine Mist contains 12 mg tetracaine HCl and 0.2 mg oxymetazoline HCl.

Kovacaine Mist will be administered based on the weight of the subject as summarized in the table below. Subjects weighing 10 to <20 kg will receive 1 intranasal spray of 100 μL of Kovacaine Mist at time D0. Subjects weighing 20 to <40 kg will receive 2 intranasal sprays of 100 μL (total dose 200 μL) administered 4 minutes apart at times D0 and D4. Subjects weighing 40 kg or more will receive 2 intranasal sprays of 200 μL (total dose 400 μL) administered 4 minutes apart at times D0 and D4.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Tetracaine HCl 3% and Oxymetazoline HCl 0.05%Drug

    Also called Kovacaine Mist

    1 spray device is 0.2mL (200 μL) in volume and contains 6mg Tetracaine HCl 3% and 0.1mg Oxymetazoline HCl. Subjects receiving the 100 μL dose will receive half of the contents of one device using a dose divider. Subjects receiving the 200 μL dose will first receive half of the contents of one device using a dose divider and then 4 minutes later will receive the 2nd half by removing the dose divider. Subjects receiving the 400 μL dose will first receive the entire contents of one device and then 4 minutes later will receive the contents of a 2nd device.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tetracaine HCl 3% and Oxymetazoline HCl 0.05% 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 14 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 8 Jun 2015. 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?

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?

Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of tetracaine (time frame: 0, 10, 30 minutes, and 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, 12, and 24 hours after completion of the last nasal spray). The study lists 15 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 8 Jun 2015.
