About this study

Official title: A Two-period, Multiple and Single Dose, Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Healthy Volunteer, Phase I Study to Assess Irritation, Sensitization and Adhesion of a Novel Ibuprofen 200 mg TEPI Medicated Plaster

This trial will be conducted with the aim to investigate the dermal response (skin irritation, sensitization) and the adhesion of Ibuprofen 200 mg TEPI Medicated Plaster as compared to a Placebo TEPI Plaster in two phases:

Induction Phase: multiple dose application of one active and one placebo plaster on 5 consecutive days in which the plasters remain in place for 23 hours ± 30 min a day and Challenge Phase: single dose application of one active and one placebo plaster which remain in place for 48 hours ± 30 min.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ibuprofen 200 mg TEPI Medicated Plaster in people with Healthy, run by Medherant Ltd at 1 site in Bulgaria.

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 6 inclusion and 42 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 17 Apr 2019. 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 Bulgaria. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

Mean Irritation Score (time frame: 10 days). The study lists 2 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 17 Apr 2019.
