Assessment of Injectable Medication Platforms

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Background: While medical advances for in-hospital care rapidly evolve, a mainstay of effective pre-hospital care remains the ability to treat medical emergencies such as anaphylaxis, prolonged seizure, overdose, or uncontrolled bleeding, through rapid administration of appropriate medication. Autoinjectors are used globally to deliver medications in a timely manner, often in environments where immediate access to medical facilities is limited. Rapid administration of intramuscular medication delivery is essential where oral or intravenous delivery is either not possible or ineffective. The purpose of the proposed study seeks to determine the efficiency various types of medication injection administration.

Clinical Trial Description

Research Objective: To understand the efficiency of injectable medication delivery in the Canadian Forces and civilian world for improved care delivery in military and pre-hospital environments. Participants: Approximately thirty (30) participants will be recruited for the study. Methods: Data will be obtained on the technical comparison of efficiency for pre-filled syringes to the current standards of administration. The timing and accuracy for administering saline to an inanimate object using the traditional methods versus a pre-filled medication syringes will be compared. Risks and Risk Mitigation: The participants in this study are all practicing military personnel who are able to give free and informed consent. To reduce undue influence, LCol Meredith and Dr Gupta will not be involved in recruitment. As a result, these participants are a low vulnerability group. The risk of any adverse events is low since data scenarios, and participants may choose to skip any questions or scenarios that participants do not wish to do. Investigators will remind all participants that their participation is voluntary, and that they may choose to withdraw or stop at any time. Benefits and Military Significance: The proposed study will be the first of its kind to assess the efficiency of various injectable medication delivery platforms. This data will provide a background for improving injectable drug delivery practices in various setting (eg military and pre-hospital settings), including the potential to inform novel medical device development. ;
