Clinical Trial Summary

A study to assess the skin irritation and sensitization potential of Corplex™ Donepezil Transdermal Delivery System (TDS)

Description:

This study is a multiple center, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, and multiple-dose study to assess skin irritation and skin sensitization in healthy subjects.

Subjects will be randomized prior to the first TDS application. The total duration of the study from Screening to Follow-up is approximately 95 days for subjects participating in the Induction Phase and the Challenge Phase of the study and potentially up to 156 days for subjects requiring to complete Re-Challenge Phase.

Skin irritation will be monitored by visual scoring scales. TDS adhesion will be assessed during TDS wear period. Safety will be monitored throughout the study by clinical and laboratory evaluations.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Mean Cumulative Skin Irritation Score of Donepezil Corplex TDS (Induction Phase)	Mean Cumulative skin irritation score is determined by averaging the combined Dermal Response score (8-point categorical scale using numeric values) and the Other Effects score (6-point categorical scale using alphabet letters equivalent to numeric values) during the induction phase of the study.	Induction (21 days)
Primary	Number of Subjects with Skin sensitization potential of Corplex TDS (Challenge Phase)	Subject's sensitization potential will be assessed using the combined Dermal Response score (8-point categorical scale using numeric values) and the Other Effects score (6-point categorical scale using alphabet letters equivalent to numeric values) . The last of 48 hr or 72 hr score collected after TDS removal during the Challenge Phase will be assessed. Provided the combined score is 2 or greater, it will then be compared to the skin irritation scores collected during the induction phase. If the last Challenge Phase score is 2 or greater and generally exceeds the skin irritation scores collected during the induction phase, the subject will return for the Re-Challenge phase.	Challenge: Up to 5 days including 2-day TDS application and a 3-day visual scoring of the TDS application site following TDS removal
Primary	Number of Subjects with Skin sensitization potential of Corplex TDS (Re-Challenge Phase)	Subject's sensitization potential will be assessed using the combined Dermal Response score (8-point categorical scale using numeric values) and the Other Effects score (6-point categorical scale using alphabet letters equivalent to numeric values). The last of 48 hr or 72 hr score collected after TDS removal during the Re-Challenge phase will be assessed. The subject will be considered for potential sensitization if they meet the same criteria in both Challenge phase and Re-Challenge phase (i.e. a combined score of 2 or greater at the last assessment at 48 hr or 72 hr post patch removal and the score are generally higher compared to induction phase scores.	Re-Challenge: Up to 5 days including 2-day TDS application and a 3-day visual scoring of the TDS application site following TDS removal
Secondary	Mean Cumulative Skin Irritation Score of Donepezil Corplex TDS compared to Vehicle TDS (Induction Phase)	Mean cumulative skin irritation will be determined and compared between Corplex Donepezil TDS and Vehicle TDS. Mean Cumulative skin irritation score is determined by averaging the combined Dermal Response score (8-point categorical scale using numeric values) and the Other Effects score (6-point categorical scale using alphabet letters equivalent to numeric values) during the induction phase of the study.	Induction (21 days)
