A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Corplex™ Donepezil Transdermal Delivery System (TDS) Applied to Different Body Locations
- Registration Number
- NCT03432195
- Lead Sponsor
- Corium, Inc.
- Brief Summary
A Phase 1, Crossover Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Corplex™ Donepezil 10 mg Transdermal Delivery System Applied to Different Body Locations
- Detailed Description
Randomized, open-label, 3-way crossover study
Up to 66 healthy, adult male and female subjects will be enrolled.
All subjects will receive Corplex Donepezil TDS patches applied to 3 different locations on each subject (back, buttock, and leg) during 3 different, consecutive treatment periods. For each subject, the location of product administration during each treatment period will be randomized.
During each treatment period, all subjects will receive a once-weekly 10 mg TDS, target dose 10 mg donepezil/day, applied for 7 days (1 week) on either the back, buttock, or leg in accordance with the randomized treatment location for that treatment period.
Blood samples for donepezil PK will be collected pre-dose until the end of each treatment period. The PK sample collection time points are as follows:
Week 1: Pre-TDS application prior to 0 hour and post-TDS application at 2, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, and 156 hours.
Week 2: Pre-Week 1 TDS removal at 168 hours, and post-TDS removal at up to 528 hours
Adhesion and skin irritation will be monitored throughout TDS treatments. Safety will be monitored throughout the study by adverse event reporting, repeated clinical and laboratory evaluations.

Group Intervention Description Donepezil TDS Buttock Donepezil TDS Corplex Donepezil TDS 10 mg/day applied to the Buttock for 1 week (7 days) Donepezil TDS Leg Donepezil TDS Corplex Donepezil TDS 10 mg/day applied to the Leg for 1 week (7 days) Donepezil TDS Back Donepezil TDS Corplex Donepezil TDS 10 mg/day applied to the Back for 1 week (7 days)
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pharmacokinetics, CMAX Blood samples for donepezil PK will be collected pre-dose until the end of each treatment period, approximately 18 weeks total Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of once-weekly Corplex Donepezil TDS applied to different body locations.
Pharmacokinetics, AUC Blood samples for donepezil PK will be collected pre-dose until the end of each treatment period, approximately 18 weeks total Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of once-weekly Corplex Donepezil TDS applied to different body locations.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 Daily during 1 week treatment period throughout the 5 week period General Safety (adverse events and serious adverse events as reported by subject following guidance CTCAE v4.0)
Application Site Mean Adhesion Scores of Donepezil Corplex TDS Daily during 1 week treatment period Adhesion score is collected using a 12-point categorical scale, where 0=100% adhered to 11=detached
Summary Listing of Skin Irritation Score of Donepezil Corplex TDS by post-removal time point 0.5hr, 24hr, 48hr and 72hr after each TDS removal. (3 days) Skin irritation score is determined by the sum of Dermal Response score (8-point categorical scale; where 0=no evidence of irritation to 7=strong reaction) using numeric values) and the Other Effects score (6-point categorical scale where 0=none observed to H=scabs/erosion using alphabet letters equivalent to numeric values) and summarized by application site (back, buttock and leg)
