<p>A Randomized, Crossover, Pharmacokinetic and Adhesion Performance Study of a Lidocaine Topical System 1.8% During Physical Activity and Heat Treatment in Healthy Subjects</p>

Abstract: This study compares the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, adhesion, and safety of lidocaine topical system 1.8%, a novel lidocaine topical system approved to treat postherpetic neuralgia, under conditions of heat and exercise vs normal conditions. Materials and Methods: This open-label, 3-period, 3-treatment crossover study randomized 12 healthy adults to receive three lidocaine topical systems 1.8% during each of three treatment periods, with 7-day washouts between treatments. The product was applied to the mid-l… Show more

“…Mild skin irritation was observed upon product removal, but it resolved and was not considered significant. Both products demonstrated good adhesion to the skin, consistent with previously published reports on the 1.8% strength ( 15 , 26 , 27 ).…”

“…In a separate study, the lidocaine topical system 1.8% was able to withstand conditions of moderate physical exercise (exercise bike) and heat (heating pad) with no meaningful degree of detachment. 29 In addition, products were only evaluated during 12-hour daylight periods, but many patients with PHN experience nighttime pain and would be expected to use lidocaine products while sleeping. It is not known how these variables would affect the adhesion of the lidocaine topical system 1.8%, nor whether its superior adhesion relative to the other products reported here would be maintained.…”

“…In a separate study, the lidocaine topical system 1.8% withstood conditions of moderate physical exercise (exercise bike) and heat (heating pad) with no meaningful degree of lifting. 20 In addition, products were only evaluated during 12-hour daylight periods, but many patients in particular with PHN (labeled indication for lidocaine topical system 1.8%) experience nighttime pain and would be expected to use lidocaine products while sleeping. Likewise, patients may use the OTC products at night to palliate against nighttime pain, allowing for more restful sleep.…”
