20An open label, placebo and positive controlled, randomised, cross-over study in healthy male volunteers to determine the effect on penile skin sensation of a newly formulated tetracaine product PET500
This was an open label, placebo and positive controlled, randomised, dose-ranging, cross-over pilot study.
On each dosing day the subjects each received one dose of tetracaine (0.26 or 0.65 or 1.3mg), or placebo, or Stud100® (which served as a positive control) on the glans penis The doses of PET500 were applied in liquid spray form (260μl) at approximately the same time of the day as the previous application to locations on the glans penis in a randomised fashion.
Von Frey hair (monofilaments) was used to assess the changes in touch sensitivity on the glans penis after the application of IMP.
The first two volunteers included in the trial piloted the sensitivity assessments prior to the inclusion of all other subjects. Changes could be made to the assessment times on the basis of the pilot data to ensure subsequent timings were relevant. However any such changes were not to expose volunteers to more assessments than were specified in the study protocol.

Each actuation of the pump spray dispenses 130µl PET500. Two pumps will dispense 260µl as follows: PET500 (0.1%) corresponding to a tetracaine total dose of 0.26mg
Each actuation of the pump spray dispenses 130µl PET500. Two pumps will dispense 260µl as follows: PET500 (0.25%) corresponding to a tetracaine total dose of 0.65mg
Each actuation of the pump spray dispenses 130µl PET500. Two pumps will dispense 260µl as follows: PET500 (0.5%) corresponding to a tetracaine total dose of 1.3mg
Each actuation of the pump spray dispenses 130µl PET500 [vehicle only]. Two pumps will dispense 260µl
Each actuation of the pump spray dispenses 130µl, corresponding to a dose of 7.7mg lidocaine. Three pumps will dispense 390µl of a 9.6% solution, delivering a total dose of 23mg lidocaine. UK License Number PL/2294/5000R
