Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Self reported pain score on Pain Numeric Scale (NRS) at each visit

    To measure the efficacy of SP160412 in the reduction of pain as reported by the participants. The Brief Pain Inventory - short version assesses pain in the last 24 hours and its impact on daily functioning. It evaluates the worst, the least, the average pain the participants felt during the last day and the actual pain. Scores range from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("pain as bad as you can imagine"). BPI also evaluates the degree to which pain has interfered with different areas of participants' lives over the past 24 hours: general activity, walking, work, mood, enjoyment of life, relations with others and sleep. BPI pain interference is scored as the mean of the seven interference items, each of which is scored from zero ("does not interfere") to 10 ("completely interferes"). Finally, BPI also evaluates the amount of relief of pain treatments have provided in the past 24 hours, ranging from 0% ("no relief") to 100% ("complete relief").

    Time frame: Twice a day (in the morning and at night) from day 1 to day 5

Secondary outcomes

  1. To measure the efficacy SP160412 combined with a placebo in the reduction of clinical sign of sunburn

    To measure the efficacy of SP160412 on Pruritus. 11-point Itch NRS (Appendix I.3. Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)); This instrument is presented as a single 11-point numeric scale with scores from 0 to 10, and anchored at 0 representing "No itch" and 10 representing "Worst imaginable itch"

    Time frame: Twice a Day (in the morning and at night) from day 1 to day 5

  2. To measure the efficacy of SP160412 for sleep quality

    To measure the Sleep quality Scale using The 11-point(NRS)) is an unidimensional patient reported outcome (PRO) for quality of sleep. Participants will on a 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 for "Best possible sleep" to 10 for "Worst possible sleep". Used on a daily basis, sleep diaries are reliable and valid instruments for capturing patient reported outcomes. The sleep quality NRS has good psychometric properties.single-item sleep quality NRS was correlated with pain.

    Time frame: once a day in the morning from day 1 to 5

  3. To evaluate the number of subject with adverse events

    To evaluate the Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0, Change From Baseline in Pain Scores on the Visual Analog Scale at evaluate the safety of SP160412 relative to each component alone combined with a placebo based on the incidence of treatment emergent Adverse Events will be recorded in the daily log by the participant and it will be documented at all evaluation visits. Overall incidence of adverse events will be collected for all days of evaluation, from Visit 0 (Day 0) to Visit 6 (Day 8).

    Time frame: once a day from Days 2 to 8

  4. Measurement of the evolution of erythema as measured by the Chromameter

    To measure the evolution of erythema color by the use of a Chromameter

    Time frame: at day one and visit at day 5

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 27, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
