Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will measure the amount of lidocaine and tetracaine in the blood after 2-, 4-, and 12-hour application of 4 Synera patches and a 4 hour application of 4 patches without heat.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profiles of lidocaine and tetracaine after 2-, 4-, and 12-hour application of 4 Synera® patches and a 4-hour application of 4 lidocaine/tetracaine patches without heat in healthy adult subjects and to monitor the frequency and nature of adverse events. In addition to determining the pharmacokinetics for a one-time application of 4 Synera® patches, steady-state pharmacokinetics were modeled and residual patch concentrations of lidocaine and tetracaine were determined.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Synera

Subjects received 4 Synera® patches for 2 hours in Session 1 and 4 patches for 12 hours in Session 4. During Study Session 2, subjects were randomly assigned to 4-hour applications of either 4 Synera® patches or 4 lidocaine/tetracaine patches without heat ("no heat patches") and were crossed over during Study Session 3.

Drug: Synera
Subjects received 4 Synera® patches for 2 hours in Session 1 and 4 patches for 12 hours in Session 4. During Study Session 2, subjects were randomly assigned to 4-hour applications of either 4 Synera® patches or 4 lidocaine/tetracaine patches without heat ("no heat patches") and were crossed over during Study Session 3.
Other Names:
  • Lidocaine 70 mg/Tetracaine 70 mg topical patch
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of Synera after application of 4 patches [0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 8, 10, 12 hours post-dose]

      Peak plasma concentration of Synera after application of 4 patches for 2-, 4- and 12-hours

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of participants with adverse events [24 days]

    2. Area under the plasma concentration versus time (AUC) of Synera [0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 8, 10, 12 hours post-dose]

      Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve of Synera after application of 4 patches for 2-, 4-, and 12 hours
