Condition(s) targeted: Dehydration

Intervention: Lactated Ringer's solution and recombinant human hyaluronidase (Drug); Lactated Ringer's solution and recombinant human hyaluronidase (Drug); Lactated Ringer's solution and recombinant human hyaluronidase (Drug); Lactated Ringer's solution and recombinant human hyaluronidase (Drug); Lactated Ringer's solution and recombinant human hyaluronidase (Drug); Lactated Ringer's solution and recombinant human hyaluronidase (Drug); Lactated Ringer's solution and recombinant human hyaluronidase (Drug); Lactated Ringer's solution and recombinant human hyaluronidase (Drug); Lactated Ringer's solution and recombinant human hyaluronidase (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Recruiting

Sponsored by: Baxter Healthcare Corporation

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
George Harb, MD, MPH, Study Director, Affiliation: Baxter Healthcare Corporation

Summary

The purpose is to evaluate the ease of use and technical challenges encountered during subcutaneous infusion of Lactated Ringer's solution, preceded by recombinant human hyaluronidase (hylenex), utilizing commonly used angiocatheter gauges and button delivery systems. The safety and tolerability of hylenex-augmented SC infusion of LR through these delivery systems is also being evaluated.

Clinical Details

Official title: INcreased Flow Utilizing Subcutaneously-Enabled Fluids Administration Technique Study (INFUSE-AT): A Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel Group, Phase IV, Study Evaluating the Techniques of Administration of Subcutaneous Fluids Enabled by Human Recombinant Hyaluronidase (Hylenex) in Healthy Adult Volunteers

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Technical challenges (tube kinks, catheter dislodgement, catheter pull-out, infusion pump beeping, other pump failure, intervention to maintain infusion, other technical challenges) during infusion

Secondary outcome:

Multiple ease-of-use measures

Safety and tolerability (catheter placement-associated pain, infusion site reactions, other adverse events)
