Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine the single dose pharmacokinetic profile of intranasally administered diamorphine in children aged 1-<16 years.;Primary end point(s): - Pharmacokinetic parameters: (Metabolites: Acetylmorphine, Morphine, Morphine-3-glucuronide, Morphine-6-glucuronide) Pharmacodynamic parameters: • Post operative pain scores • Respiratory rate • Pulse rate • Oxygen saturation • Temperature Safety parameters: - Adverse event monitoring - Local tolerability (nasal irritation);Secondary Objective: • To obtain pharmacodynamic endpoints (post operative pain scores, pupil dilation, respiratory rate, pulse rate, oxygen saturation and temperature) • To investigate the relationship between the pharmacokinetics of intranasal diamorphine and pharmacodynamic endpoints. • To provide additional safety information (particularly nasal irritation effects) to the current profile for intranasal diamorphine in a hospital clinic day surgery setting in children.
