About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase 3 Study of the Efficacy and Safety of DPI-386 Nasal Gel for the Prevention of Nausea and Vomiting Associated With Motion
This is a Phase 3, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single dose efficacy and safety study evaluating the use of a nasal gel to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with motion
Read the detailed description
Eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to DPI-386 Nasal Gel or matching placebo nasal gel and assigned a time and date for travel on an ocean vessel. Participants will be asked to self-administer the study medication while the ship is in harbor. The Modified Performance Self-Assessment Questionnaire (mPSAQ) will be completed by each participant prior to the administration of nasal gel, approximately every 30 minutes of travel, and at the end of travel. The participants will complete the Nausea Assessment Scale (NAS) every 30 minutes afer dosing, and at the end of travel. The participants will also be asked to complete a Sopite Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) and a Patient Global Assessment of Severity (PGI-S) at 4 hours to describe their travel experience. All questionnaires will be submitted for analysis. An exit interview will also be conducted.
The treatment phase will last approximately 4-5 hours

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing DPI-386 Nasal Gel in people with Motion Sickness, run by Repurposed 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 11 inclusion and 29 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 Sep 2021. 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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?
Proportion of participants who report no vomiting within 4 hours after receiving study drug and no use of rescue treatment (e.g., dimenhydrinate) within 4 hours after receiving study drug (Complete Responders). (time frame: 4 hours). 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 Sep 2021.
