A Study of Combogesic® IV (Intravenous) in Pediatric Patients With Acute Pain (NCT07225634)

An Open Label, Pharmacokinetic and Safety Study of Combogesic® IV in Pediatric Patients With Acute Pain

🟡 Not Yet Recruiting Phase3 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: AFT Pharmaceuticals, Ltd.

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Combogesic® IV is an intravenous medicine (given by vein) containing a combination of two pain relief (analgesic) medicines called ibuprofen and acetaminophen. The goal of this clinical trial is to study the way that the body processes and clears the intravenous infusion of Combogesic® IV and that it is safe to be used in children and adolescents between the ages of 2 and \<17 years. What will the study involve for participants? * Combogesic® IV will be administered every 6 hours as necessary with a maximum of 4 doses within a 24-hour period as an intravenous infusion for about 15 minutes. * Participants will receive Combogesic® IV for a minimum of 12 hours (2 doses) up to a maximum of 5 days (20 doses). Dosing will be dependent on body weight. * If pain is not sufficiently controlled by Combogesic® IV, opioids may be used as supplementary pain relief at the discretion of the study doctor. * Have their blood samples collected before dosing and at specific times after dosing. The amount of study drug in the blood will be measured, and safety assessments (including blood and urine samples) will be done. * Rate the study drug at the end of the treatment. It is expected that Combogesic® IV will be well tolerated in children and adolescents and that the pharmacokinetics findings will be similar as compared with adults.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (6 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (17 items).

Instant Checklist

Check every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).

Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Has a known history of allergic reaction or clinically significant intolerance to acetaminophen, aspirin, opioids, or any nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, including ibuprofen); history of NSAID-induced bronchospasm (subjects with the triad of asthma, nasal polyps, and chronic rhinitis are at greater risk for bronchospasm and should be considered carefully); or hypersensitivity, allergy, or significant reaction to sulfa (including sulfonamide) medicines, ingredients of the study drug, or any other drugs used in the study including anesthetics and antibiotics that may be required.
  • Has experienced any surgical complications or other issues that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could compromise the safety of the subject if he or she participates in the study or could confound the results of the study.
  • Has any clinically significant unstable cardiac, respiratory, neurological, immunological, hematological, or renal disease or any other condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could compromise the subject's welfare, ability to communicate with the study staff, or otherwise contraindicate study participation.
  • Has a history or current diagnosis of a significant psychiatric disorder that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would affect the subject's ability to comply with the study requirements.
  • Has a history of a clinically significant (Investigator opinion) gastrointestinal (GI) event within 6 months before screening or has any history of peptic or gastric ulcers or GI bleeding.
  • Has a surgical or medical condition of the GI or renal system that might significantly alter the absorption, distribution, or excretion of any drug substance.
  • Is considered by the Investigator, for any reason to be an unsuitable candidate to receive the study drug.
  • Is receiving systemic chemotherapy, has an active malignancy of any type, or has been diagnosed with cancer within 5 years before Screening (excluding treated squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin).
  • Is currently receiving anticoagulants (e.g. heparin or warfarin).
  • Has received a course of systemic corticosteroids (either oral or parenteral) within 3 months before screening (inhaled nasal steroids and regional/limited area application of topical corticosteroids (Investigator discretion) are allowed).
  • Has a history of chronic use (defined as daily use for \> 2 weeks) of NSAIDs, opiates, or glucocorticoids (except inhaled nasal steroids and regional/limited topical corticosteroids), for any condition within 6 months before study drug administration. Aspirin at a daily dose of ≤ 325 mg is allowed for cardiovascular prophylaxis if the subject has been on a stable dose regimen for ≥ 30 days before screening and has not experienced any relevant medical problem.
