About this study

Official title: Single-Dose, Open-Label, Two-Period, Two-Treatment, Two-Sequence Crossover Exploratory Bioavailability Study of Subsys® (Fentanyl Sublingual Spray), 400 mcg, and Fentanyl Citrate Injection 2 mL x 0.05 mg/mL (Total Dose 100 mcg) Under Fasted Conditions

The objective of this study is to compare the rate of absorption and bioavailability of fentanyl sublingual spray 400 mcg to fentanyl citrate 100 mcg by intramuscular injection.

Conditions
Bioavailability
Being tested
Fentanyl Sublingual Spray (FSS), Fentanyl Citrate Injection (FCI), Naltrexone

What participants receive

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

  • Fentanyl Sublingual Spray (FSS)Drug

    Also called Subsys®

    A single dose of fentanyl, 400 mcg per sublingual spray

  • Fentanyl Citrate Injection (FCI)Drug

    A single dose of fentanyl citrate, 100 mcg per intramuscular injection

  • NaltrexoneDrug

    Naltrexone is provided as a 50 mg tablet before and after product dosing to minimize unacceptable adverse effects of fentanyl.

Study groups in NCT02138396
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
FSS first, then FCIExperimentalAt each of two treatment visits participants fast for 10 hours before dosing, and receive naltrexone before and after dosing. Participants in this group receive a single dose of fentanyl sublingual spray (FSS) at the first visit. After a washout period of at least seven days, they receive a single intramuscular fentanyl citrate injection (FCI) at the second treatment visit.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum concentration (Cmax) by mode of administration

    Measured: within 36 hours after dosing

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Area under the concentration-time curve [AUC(last)] by mode of administration

    Measured: prior to the intial dose, at 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 minutes postdose, and at 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0, 16.0, 24.0, and 36 hours post-dose

  2. Area under the curve extrapolated to infinity [AUC(inf)] by mode of administration

    Measured: prior to the intial dose, at 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 minutes postdose, and at 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0, 16.0, 24.0, and 36 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fentanyl Sublingual Spray (FSS), Fentanyl Citrate Injection (FCI) and Naltrexone in people with Bioavailability, run by INSYS Therapeutics Inc 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 12 Dec 2014. 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.

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?

Maximum concentration (Cmax) by mode of administration (time frame: within 36 hours after dosing). 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 12 Dec 2014.
