NCT07085520

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the skin safety of a soluble denosumab microneedle patch in participants with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is the soluble denosumab microneedle patch safe for use on the skin?
  • What are the potential skin reactions to the patch? Researchers will compare different doses of the microneedle patch to assess its safety. Participants will:
  • Apply the microneedle patch to four different areas around their knee
  • Undergo skin assessments at various time points after application
  • Be monitored for any adverse skin reactions The study will take place at a single center and involve a small number of participants to provide preliminary data on the safety of this novel drug delivery system.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of Participants With Adverse Reactions

    Evaluate through skin response sheets: erythema, pain, swelling, etc.

    Assessed at 15 minutes, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 2 weeks post-application.

  • Amount of pain

    Pain will be measured using the faces pain scales revised (0-2-4-6-8-10, 0: no pain, 10: very much pain).

    Assessed at 15 minutes, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 2 weeks post-application.

  • Number of injection site reactions

    Injection site assessment for the following: Pain (grade 1/2/3) Tenderness (grade 1/2/3) Pruritus (grade 1/2/3) Erythema (absent/present) Induration (grade 1/2/3) Blister (absent/present) Ulceration (absent/present) Necrosis (absent/present) Ecchymosis (absent/present) If any of these signs or symptoms is present, it is regarded an injection site reaction.

    Assessed at 15 minutes, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 2 weeks post-application.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Soluble Denosumab Microneedle Patch Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire

    Assessed at 2 weeks post-application.

  • Number of participants with abnormal laboratory tests results

    Assessed at 2 weeks post-application.

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Frequency of both local and systemic Adverse Events

    2 weeks

Study Arms (4)

Microneedle with Saline

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

This study arm uses microneedle patches loaded with saline as a control to assess the skin safety of the microneedle patches. Participants will apply 4 microneedle patches around their knee and avoid behaviors that may affect skin condition during the study.

Drug: Saline Microneedle Patch

Microneedle with 0.24mg Denosumab

EXPERIMENTAL

This study arm uses microneedle patches loaded with 0.24mg of denosumab to evaluate the skin safety and tolerability of the microneedle patch. Participants will apply 4 microneedle patches around their knee and avoid behaviors that may affect skin condition during the study.

Drug: Microneedle with 0.24mg Denosumab

Microneedle with 1.2mg Denosumab

EXPERIMENTAL

This study arm uses microneedle patches loaded with 1.2mg of denosumab to evaluate the skin safety and tolerability of the microneedle patch. Participants will apply 4 microneedle patches around their knee and avoid behaviors that may affect skin condition during the study.

Drug: Microneedle with 1.2mg Denosumab

Microneedle with 6mg Denosumab

EXPERIMENTAL

This study arm uses microneedle patches loaded with 6mg of denosumab to evaluate the skin safety and tolerability of the microneedle patch. Participants will apply 4 microneedle patches around their knee and avoid behaviors that may affect skin condition during the study.

Drug: Microneedle with 6mg Denosumab

Interventions

This intervention uses microneedle patches loaded with 0.24mg of denosumab. The patch is made of a biocompatible material, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and is applied to the skin around the knee. It aims to evaluate the skin safety and tolerability of the microneedle patch at this specific dose. Participants will apply 4 microneedle patches around their knee and avoid behaviors that may affect skin condition during the study.

Also known as: Soluble Denosumab Microneedle Patch
Microneedle with 0.24mg Denosumab

This intervention involves the use of a microneedle patch loaded with saline. The patch is made of a biocompatible material, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and is applied to the skin around the knee. It serves as a control to assess the skin safety of the microneedle patch without the active drug. Participants will apply 4 microneedle patches around their knee and avoid behaviors that may affect skin condition during the study.

Microneedle with Saline

This intervention uses microneedle patches loaded with 1.2mg of denosumab. The patch is made of a biocompatible material, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and is applied to the skin around the knee. It aims to evaluate the skin safety and tolerability of the microneedle patch at this specific dose. Participants will apply 4 microneedle patches around their knee and avoid behaviors that may affect skin condition during the study.

Microneedle with 1.2mg Denosumab

This intervention uses microneedle patches loaded with 6mg of denosumab. The patch is made of a biocompatible material, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and is applied to the skin around the knee. It aims to evaluate the skin safety and tolerability of the microneedle patch at this specific dose. Participants will apply 4 microneedle patches around their knee and avoid behaviors that may affect skin condition during the study.
