Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 5754 0
To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of a single dose of IVIb administered over 5-7 minutes by doing blood analysis.
Timepoint [1] 5754 0
Predose, Immediately after
completion of the intravenous Clinical Trial Material (CTM) administration then at Hours 0.25,
0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours after treatment.
Secondary outcome [1] 241706 0
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single dose of IVIb by assessing the
frequency, severity and duration of treatment-emergent adverse events,
including those related to the infusion site, in healthy adult participants who received a single dose of IVIb and oral placebo administration given concurrently as compared to a crossover oral ibuprofen and intravenous placebo administration. This will be done by frequently asking the volunteer non leading questions regarding there well-being, also visual observation looking for volunteer deteriation.
Adevrse Events iexamples: swelling and redness at infusion site, nausea and headache.
Timepoint [1] 241706 0
Predose, Immediately after
completion of the intravenous CTM administration then at Hours 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours after treatment.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Subjects will be enrolled into the study at the discretion of the Principal Investigator pending they meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria. By following the screening log and participant availability 12 people will be assigned a randomisation number R001-R012. This will be done by a blinded staff member.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
An independent biostatistician will randomise the sites using simple randomisation where a randomisation table is used from a statistic book.

Summary
Brief summary
This research study is being conducted for the pharmaceutical company Cumberland
Pharmaceuticals Inc. You are being asked to take part in this research study because we want to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (the way the body absorbs the drug) of a single dose of ibuprofen administered intravenously (in the vein) over 5-7 minutes.
A screening procedure will determine if you are eligible to enter the study. If you are
accepted, you will be required to attend the study centre for 2 treatment visits.
When you return to the research center, you will be randomised into one of two treatment sequences. Randomised means you will be assigned to a group by chance. The two treatment sequences in this study are:
Sequence A: A single dose of intravenous ibuprofen (IVIb) and an oral (capsule) placebo (starch filled capsule) given concurrently on Day 1 of the Treatment Period followed by a single dose of oral ibuprofen (capsule) and intravenous (IV) placebo (saline solution) given concurrently on Day 8 of the Treatment Period. Day 2-7will be a washout period. During the
washout period no study drugs or study tests will be done.
Sequence B: A single dose of oral ibuprofen and intravenous (IV) placebo given concurrently on Day 1 of the Treatment Period followed by a single dose of intravenous ibuprofen (IVIb) and oral placebo given concurrently on Day 8 of the Treatment Period.
Blood samples will be collected in treatment visits 1 and 2 (16 samples per visit) by either cannula (small plastic tube inserted into a vein in your arm) or venipuncture. Approximately a total of 222 mL of blood will be collected during the study, which includes the amount required for the clinical laboratory tests and for the measurement of Ibuprofen in your blood.
