A Safety Study to Investigate the Skin Sensitization Potential of MFC51123

June 27, 2017 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

Safety Study to Investigate the Skin Sensitization Potential of MFC51123

This research study is being carried out to determine the possibility that a new medication causes allergic reactions. This new medication contains two active ingredients (diclofenac and menthol) together in a gel and is being developed to treat mild to moderate pain and inflammation, such as acute sport injuries, and sprains and strains. Approximately 240 participants will have the medication (gel) applied to the skin on a small area of the upper back for approximately 48-hour or 72-hour periods over the course of six weeks. Participation in this research study is voluntary, requiring participants to visit the study clinic on 17 occasions for about 45 minutes each visit. During the visits, doctors or trained staff members will examine the amount of redness, swelling, and other signs of irritation (if any) of the skin where the medication (gel) was applied.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Skin irritation
Time Frame: At least 23 days but not more than 30 days for induction and challenge phases combined
During the Induction Phase, the test article and three controls will be applied to adjacent treatment sites on the infrascapular area of the back for nine 48-hour patch applications. Evaluation of dermal reactions at the application sites will be conducted clinically using a visual scale that rates the degree of erythema, edema, and other signs of cutaneous irritation at nine intervals spaced approximately 48-72 hours apart. Following the Induction Phase participants will return to the clinic to begin the Challenge Phase after 12 to 14- day rest phase. The Challenge Phase will consist of one 48-hour patch application to a naive site on the opposite side of the back. Evaluations of dermal reactions at the application sites will be conducted clinically during the Challenge Phase using the same visual scale at 30 minutes, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours after removal of the challenge patch.
At least 23 days but not more than 30 days for induction and challenge phases combined

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effects on Superficial Layers of the Skin
Time Frame: At least 23 days but not more than 30 days for induction and challenge phases combined
The responses will be assessed using symbol (A-H) and grade (0 -3) scale for each of the four test products: A 0 Slight glazed appearance; C 1 Marked glazing; E 2 Glazing with peeling and cracking; F 3 Glazing with fissures; G 3 Film of dried serous exudate covering all or portion of the patch; H 3 Small petechial erosions and/or scabs
At least 23 days but not more than 30 days for induction and challenge phases combined
Response notation
Time Frame: At least 23 days but not more than 30 days for induction and challenge phases combined
Notations will be made in place of a score to designate particular circumstances preventing the assignment of a score or in addition to a score to identify damage to the epidermis and/or spreading of a reaction beyond the patch site.S: Spreading of reaction beyond patch study site (i.e., reaction where study material was not in contact with the skin); B: Burning or stinging sensation; P: Papular response >50%; Pv: Papulovesicular response >50%; D: Damage to epidermis: oozing, crusting and/or superficial erosions; I; Itching; X: absent Subject absent; PD: Patch dislodged; NA Not applied; NP: Not patched (due to reaction achieved); N9G: No ninth grading
At least 23 days but not more than 30 days for induction and challenge phases combined
