Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Bioequivalence Study of 21 Milligram (mg) Nicotine Transdermal Patches (NicoDerm CQ, GlaxoSmithKline [GSK] Dungarvan) Compared to the Current Marketed 21 mg Nicotine Transdermal Patches (NicoDerm CQ, Alza) in Healthy Adult Smokers (NCT NCT05024747)

NCT ID: NCT05024747

Last Updated: 2024-03-21

Results Overview

Cmax was the highest observed plasma nicotine concentration of NicoDerm CQ Dungarvan (Test) compared to NicoDerm CQ, Alza (Reference) was reported. Blood samples were collected at indicated time points. Pharmacokinetic analysis of NicoDerm CQ Dungarvan (Test) compared to NicoDerm CQ, Alza (Reference) was conducted using standard non-compartmental analysis. Analysis was performed using a linear mixed effects model fit to the log-transformed pharmacokinetic (PK) variables, as the dependent variable, treatment, and period as fixed effects. Geometric mean and CV of the geometric mean was presented. Comparison data of Test vs Reference was reported based on the baseline adjusted data.in statistical analysis 1.

Participant Flow

The study was conducted at single center in United States from 01 September 2021 to 25 October 2021. A total of 22 participants were enrolled, out of which 21 participants were randomized and received treatment during two treatment periods.

Eligible participants received either NicoDerm CQ patch (GSK Dungarvan) Test or NicoDerm CQ (Alza) Reference for a total duration of 24 hours on Day 1 (Period 1) and Day 5 (Period 2). Same participants had multiple movement within the arms of two sequence levels (Test and reference). So, overall participant data was planned, analyzed and reported to avoid double-counting in disposition and baseline characteristics.

Participants received a single-dose of 21 milligrams (mg) of NicoDerm CQ patch (GSK Dungarvan) Test on Day 1 (Period 1) and NicoDerm CQ (Alza) Reference on Day 5 (Period 2) placed topically under fasted conditions to the upper part of the back for a total duration of 24 hours. Two periods were separated by 24 hours wash-out. The patch that was applied during Period 2 was not applied to the same position as the patch that was applied during Period 1 but on the upper back of the contralateral side of the body.

Population: Analysis was performed using safety population. Out of 21 participants, 16 participants who were dosed with NicoDerm CQ Dungarvan (Test) and 20 participants dosed with NicoDerm CQ Alza (Reference).

TEAEs were defined as any adverse events (AEs) that first occurred on or after the date and time of patch administration. Any AE that first occurred pre-dose but worsened in severity after the first patch administration was also considered a TEAE. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose met one, more of the following criteria: results in death, life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent, significant disability/incapacity, a congenital abnormality/birth defect, an important medical event. A TEAE was any event emerging or manifesting at or after the initiation of treatment with an IP or medicinal product or any existing event that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the IP or medicinal product. Number of Participants with TEAEs and serious TEAEs were reported.
