Evaluation of the Performance and Safety of Two Intradermal Delivery Devices.
- Conditions
- Injections, Intradermal
- Interventions
- Device: ID adapter (autodisable)Device: ID adapter (side load)
- Registration Number
- NCT01943110
- Lead Sponsor
- PATH
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether two intradermal (ID) vaccine delivery devices can safely and precisely inject liquid into the intradermal layer of the skin in three different injection locations
- Detailed Description
This study is a preliminary device safety and performance evaluation in healthy adult volunteers (ages 18-55 years).
Each participant will receive six injections of 0.1 ml of sterile saline solution into the skin:
* Upper deltoid with the side-load ID adapter
* Upper deltoid with the autodisable (AD) ID adapter
* Suprascapular (behind the shoulder) with the side-load ID adapter
* Suprascapular with the AD ID adapter
* Forearm with the side-load ID adapter
* Forearm with the AD ID adapter
Intradermal administration of each injection will be assessed:
* The liquid remaining on the surface of the skin will be blotted with absorbent paper and the amount of liquid present will be recorded.
* The formation of an intradermal wheal will be observed, and the diameter of the wheal measured using a ruler or similar measurement tool.
* A photo of the injection site will be taken.
Injections will be assessed for safety by observation of injection sites for any local adverse events.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Proportion of Injections Delivered to the Intradermal Layer of the Skin 1 day The proportion of saline injections resulting in delivery to the intradermal layer of the skin will be assessed by measurement of intradermal wheals with diameters ≥ 5mm and the volume of liquid injected.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Proportion of Injections With Safety Events Within 30 minutes and within 48 hours of injection The proportion of injections with safety events will be calculated for events occurring within 30 minutes and within 48 hours of injection.
