Brief summary

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the adhesion performance and pharmacokinetics of ZTlido (lidocaine topical system) 1.8% during swimming, showering, and under normal conditions.

Detailed description

In this Phase 1, open-label, three-period crossover study, 24 healthy, adult male and female subjects are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment sequences. During each treatment period, subjects have one lidocaine topical system applied to their back for 12 hours with a 4-day washout between treatments. In each treatment period, the subject will either swim (Treatment A), shower (Treatment B), or refrain from these activities (Treatment C) while wearing the topical system. Blood samples for lidocaine PK will be collected pre-dose until 24 hours. Adhesion will be monitored throughout the wear time and skin irritation will be assessed the topical system is removed.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean cumulative adhesion scoreOver 12 hoursAdhesion to skin assessed by FDA 0-4 scoring system. The scoring for adhesion of patches is indicated as follows: 0 = ≥ 90% Adhered (essentially no lift off the skin), 1 = ≥ 75% to \< 90% Adhered (some edges only lifting off the skin), 2 = ≥ 50% to \< 75% Adhered (less than half of the patch lifting off the skin), \> 0% to \< 50% Adhered but not detached (more than half of the patch lifting off the skin without falling off), and 4 = 0% adhered (patched completely detached). The cumulative adhesion score is calculated as the sum of scores at each assessment time point (3, 4.5, 7, 8.5, and 12 hours).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of lidocaine0, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 9.0, 12.0, 15.0, 18.0, 24.0 hours post-dosePeak plasma concentration of lidocaine after product application for 12 hours
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from Time 0 to Time 24 hours0, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 9.0, 12.0, 15.0, 18.0, 24.0 hours post-doseArea under the plasma concentration versus time curve from 0 to 24 hours of lidocaine in plasma
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from Time 0 to Time Infinity0, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 9.0, 12.0, 15.0, 18.0, 24.0 hours post-doseArea under the plasma concentration versus time curve from 0 to infinite time of lidocaine in plasma
Dermal Response Score12.5 and 14 hours post-doseProduct tolerability is assessed by Dermal Response Score. The application site is evaluated 30 minutes and 2 hours after product removal (12.5 and 14 hours post-dose, respectively). Response score from 0 to 7; 0= No evidence of irritation, 1= Minimal erythema, barely perceptible, 2= Definite erythema, readily visible; minimal edema or minimal papular response, 3= Erythema and papules, 4= Definite edema, 5= Erythema, edema and papules, 6= Vesicular eruption, 7= Strong reaction spreading beyond test (i.e., application) site.
