Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
The Dompé formulation of ketoprofen lysine salt (KLS) for oropharyngeal use (Oki Gola® 1,6% mouthwash) has been developed to provide a more convenient and alternative treatment to currently marketed topical anaesthetic or anti-inflammatory preparations. Over systemic administration of KLS, this formulation presents the advantage of reaching the inflamed area directly through a targeted application to the site where the inflammatory process is developing and limiting the drug spreading to other regions of the body.
The Oki Gola® 1,6% mouthwash presentation consists of an aqueous solution of ketoprofen lysine salt at a 1.6% concentration, marketed in a 150 mL plastic bottle package with a child-proof closure and a 10 mL measuring cap.
Oki Gola® 1,6% mouthwash is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of irritative and inflammatory conditions of the oropharynx (such as gingivitis, stomatitis, pharyngitis), even associated with pain, and also as a consequence of preventive or extractive dental therapy.
The sponsor has designed the present study to get more information from healthy volunteers about the amount of ketoprofen remaining in the oral cavity and the salivary concentrations of ketoprofen after 3 mouthwash rinses with the product.

Who can participate?
Healthy male and female volunteers aged 18-55 years

What does the study involve?
All the subjects enrolled in the study receive the same treatment: one dose of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) administered as a mouthwash in 3 rinses, for a total dose of 160 mg of ketoprofen lysine salt.
Before each administration, 10 mL of OKI gola® 1.6% collutorio (mouthwash) are diluted to 100 mL, corresponding to a final concentration of 1.6 mg/mL ketoprofen lysine salt, using still mineral water at room temperature. For the treatment, the subjects rinse their mouth three times with the diluted solution of OKI gola® mouthwash - about 33 mL each rinse. Each rinse lasts for at least 10 sec and afterwards, the subjects expel the liquid.
During the study, saliva and blood samples are collected from participants for the measurement of ketoprofen concentrations in saliva and in the bloodstream. Heart rate and blood pressure are measured to test the safety of the medication.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
No specific benefits for the study participants are foreseen. Their remuneration is paid after study completion. The remuneration covers loss of time and any inconvenience caused by the participation in the study.
The product safety data confirm a positive benefit/risk ratio. No particular risks are expected for the study subjects considering that the IMP is used according to the dose regimen indicated in the summary of the product characteristics. Blood sampling with cannula insertion may cause minor discomfort. The risks associated with blood draws include pain, bleeding and bruising.

Scientific titleSingle-way open label phase I study to evaluate the amount of ketoprofen remaining in the oral cavity and ketoprofen salivary concentration after mouthwash rinse with OKI gola® 1.6% collutorio in healthy volunteers of both sexes
Study acronymOKI gola® 1.6% PK
Study hypothesisTo determine the amount of ketoprofen remaining in the oral cavity and the salivary concentrations of ketoprofen after 3 mouthwash rinses with the investigational medicinal product.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 20/07/2021 and 23/07/2021, Cantonal Ethics Committee Canton Ticino (c/o Health Office, Via Orico 5, 6501 Bellinzona, Switzerland; +41 (0)91 8143057; dss-ce@ti.ch), ref: CE 3912, BASEC 2021-01378
ConditionPhase I study in healthy volunteers of both sexes
InterventionAll the subjects enrolled in the study receive the same treatment: one dose of the investigational medicinal product (IMP - OKI gola® 1.6% collutorio) administered as mouthwash in 3 rinses, for a total dose of 160 mg of ketoprofen lysine salt. Before each administration, 10 mL of OKI gola® 1.6% collutorio (mouthwash) are diluted to 100 mL, corresponding to a final concentration of 1.6 mg/mL ketoprofen lysine salt, using still mineral water at room temperature. For the treatment, the subjects rinse their mouth three times with the diluted solution of OKI gola® mouthwash - about 33 mL each rinse. Each rinse lasts for at least 10 sec and afterwards the subjects expel the liquid.
During the study, saliva samples for ketoprofen concentrations analysis are collected at pre-dose (0) and 1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 15, 20 and 30 min post-dose. Venous blood samples are collected from a forearm vein at pre-dose (0) and 4, 6, 10, 15, 20 and 30 min post-dose.
Safety and general tolerability of the IMP are based on adverse events, physical examinations including body weight, and vital signs.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase I
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)OKI gola® 1.6% collutorio
Primary outcome measureThe amount of ketoprofen remaining in the oral cavity after the mouthwash rinses is measured using a fully validated HPLC-UV method. Salivary ketoprofen pharmacokinetic profile is evaluated up to 30 min post dose using the same analytical method.
Secondary outcome measures1. Plasma ketoprofen pharmacokinetic profile is evaluated up to 30 min post dose using a fully validated HPLC-UV method.
2. Safety and tolerability of the study treatment are evaluated by collecting the adverse events during the whole study, by measuring vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate) at screening and final visit, and by performing a physical examination at screening and final visit.
