Study summary

This study was a single-center, randomized, open-label, two-agent, two-cycle, double-cross bioequivalence trial.

Read the detailed description

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the difference of absorption degree and absorption rate of two kinds of patches( FB3002 vs. Loxonin®) in Chinese healthy population, and to assess the bioavailability of these two patches.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

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.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

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.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

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.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

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.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Cmax of loxoprofen and its trans-OH

    Maximum plasma concentration. Analyzing AUC with ANOVA test to evaluate the 90% confidence interval for the ratio (Test/Reference) of the population mean with a logarithmic transformation prior to analysis with acceptance interval of 0.80 - 1.25.

    Time frame: 0-72 hours

  2. AUC0-T of loxoprofen and its trans-OH

    Area under the plasma concentration curve from time 0 to the last measured (AUC0-t). Analyzing AUC with ANOVA test to evaluate the 90% confidence interval for the ratio (Test/Reference) of the population mean with a logarithmic transformation prior to analysis with acceptance interval of 0.80 - 1.25.

    Time frame: 0-72 hours

  3. AUC0-∞ of loxoprofen and its trans-OH

    Area under the plasma concentration curve from time 0 to ∞ (AUC0-∞). Analyzing AUC with ANOVA test to evaluate the 90% confidence interval for the ratio (Test/Reference) of the population mean with a logarithmic transformation prior to analysis with acceptance interval of 0.80 - 1.25.

    Time frame: 0-72 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Adverse Events

    All of the adverse events will be reported

    Time frame: 0-14 days

  2. Tmax of loxoprofen and its trans-OH

    Time to reach maximum plasma concentration

    Time frame: 0-72 hours

  3. t1/2 of loxoprofen and its trans-OH

    Apparent terminal elimination half-life

    Time frame: 0-72 hours

  4. λz

    Apparent terminal elimination rate constant

    Time frame: 0-72 hours

  5. AUC_%Extrap

    Percentage of AUCINF(_obs, _pred) due to extrapolation from Tlast to infinity

    Time frame: 0-72 hours

  6. Irritation score

    A combined irritation score should be calculated by adding the "dermal response" score and the numeric equivalent for "other effects" letter score.

    Time frame: 0-14 days

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Jul 2024; primary completion for Aug 2024, 1 month later.

Of 35 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Osteoarthritis, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 26. This study's planned 1 month is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 58 studies reached it within 20 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 47.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Jul 19, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
