Study summary

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating DPI-386 Nasal Gel versus placebo. Approximately 500 subjects will be randomized 1:1 (250 DPI 386 Nasal Gel/250 matching Placebo Nasal Gel) are planned to be enrolled.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study (DPI-386-MS-33) is to prospectively evaluate the difference in the rate of complete response, defined as no vomiting and no rescue treatment (e.g., antihistamine) within the 4-hour period after study drug administration, or to the end of the voyage, whichever comes later, between 0.2 mg scopolamine administered as the DPI-386 Nasal Gel and Placebo Nasal Gel to subjects ≥18 years of age (inclusive) with a history of symptoms consistent with motion sickness (MS). The sample size of 250 subjects per treatment arm is considered sufficient to demonstrate a statistically significant difference between treatments.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

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.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

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.

MMSE and MoCA

Short tests of memory and thinking, each scored out of 30. Lower scores suggest more difficulty; criteria give a range, either to include people with memory problems or to leave them out.

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.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Washout period

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.
