What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests two nasal solutions, GOPRELTO® (cocaine hydrochloride nasal solution) and NUMBRINO™, to evaluate their safety and effectiveness as numbing agents for nasal procedures. The researchers aim to understand how the body absorbs these solutions, particularly in teens undergoing nasal surgeries or exams. It targets adolescents scheduled for procedures involving their nasal cavities who meet specific health criteria, such as having a healthy oxygen level and no recent history of drug use. As a Phase 3 trial, this study represents the final step before FDA approval, offering participants the opportunity to contribute to the development of a potentially new standard in nasal procedure care.

Do I need to stop taking my current medications to join the trial?

You may need to stop taking certain medications before joining the trial. Specifically, you cannot use serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, certain nasal products, or disulfiram before and during the study. Check with the study team for more details on your specific medications.

Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?

Research shows that GOPRELTO® and NUMBRINO™ nasal solutions have FDA approval as numbing agents for nose procedures, confirming their safety for adults. Both solutions contain cocaine hydrochloride, which numbs the nose before medical procedures.

Studies indicate that the maximum dose for both solutions is up to 160 mg, depending on the patient's weight. This dose is applied using cotton soaked in the solution and placed in the nostrils. Although cocaine can raise concerns about misuse, strict medical supervision minimizes risks.

No specific safety data exists for children yet, which ongoing clinical trials aim to uncover. However, since these treatments are approved for adults, they are generally considered safe when used properly. Researchers will closely monitor trial participants for any side effects.12345

Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?

Researchers are excited about GOPRELTO® and NUMBRINO™ nasal solutions because they both use cocaine hydrochloride, a powerful anesthetic, to provide rapid numbing for nasal procedures. Unlike traditional numbing agents, which can take longer to take effect and may not be as potent, these solutions work quickly and effectively to numb the nasal tissues. Their 4% concentration allows for precise application and control, with the potential to improve patient comfort and procedural efficiency. This targeted delivery could be a game-changer in enhancing the patient experience during nasal surgeries.

What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for nasal procedures?

This trial will compare GOPRELTO® and NUMBRINO™ nasal solutions, both shown in studies to effectively numb the inside of the nose for medical procedures. These treatments use cocaine hydrochloride to reduce sensitivity and pain during procedures. The main goal is immediate pain relief, as patients have reported no pain on a simple pain scale. The FDA has approved both GOPRELTO® and NUMBRINO®, confirming their effectiveness and safety for numbing the nose. This approval makes them reliable options for reducing discomfort during nose-related medical procedures or surgeries.12467
