Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the pharmacokinetics of lidocaine from 4% lidocaine cream when applied to the skin of children, as compared to EMLA cream. To evaluate the safety of 4% lidocaine cream (adverse events, local tolerability, maximal exposure), as compared to EMLA cream.;Secondary Objective: To estimate the onset of anesthetic effect after 60 min application of 4% lidocaine cream and EMLA cream during catheter inserted in a vein of the antecubital fossa area or on the hand back on one arm for induction when applicable.;Primary end point(s): Pharmacokinetics will be estimated using sparse sampling design (and analysed by population pharmacokinetics modelling): 3 samples will be collected from children = 7 years; 0,7 to 1mL each to be obtained through indwelling venous cannula or direct venipuncture. The assay lower limit of quantification (LOQ) is 1 ng/mL for a plasma volume of 500 µL. Bioanalytical measurement of lidocaine will be performed at a central laboratory. Sampling times have been selected by time window to optimise parameter estimation and minimise the stress to subjects.
