A Phase 1 interventional study of Inhaled Fentanyl Aerosol and Fentanyl Citrate Injection in Cancer, sponsored by Lee's Pharmaceutical Limited. Recruiting at 2 sites in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 55 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-09-25.
Sponsored by Lee's Pharmaceutical Limited · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
This study is a single-dose, open-label, 2-cycle crossover design, comparing the pharmacokinetic parameters and safety of Inhaled Fentanyl Aerosol and intravenous fentanyl injection.
Consenting patients who met inclusion and exclusion criteria were allowed to enter the study. The subjects will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive an intravenous bolus (5 seconds) of 25μg fentanyl injection in the first cycle, and after a 2-week washout period, to receive a single dose of 25μg inhaled fentanyl aerosol through the Staccato delivery system in the second cycle; or to receive the same treatment in the opposite order.
Have sufficient hematopoietic function and organ function within the last 14 days at random.
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects will be randomly assigned (1:1) to either drug sequence
Drug: Inhaled Fentanyl Aerosol
Subjects will be randomly assigned (1:1) to either drug sequence
Drug: Fentanyl Citrate Injection
The subjects will be randomly assigned (1:1) to either dosing sequence: in the first cycle, receive an intravenous bolus (5 seconds) of 25μg Fentanyl injection, after at least a 2-week washout period, in the second cycle, receive a single dose of 25μg Fentanyl aerosol inhaler through the Staccato delivery system; or receive the same treatment in the reverse order.
