  Purpose

Subcutaneous injections are a widely used method for drug delivery. One of its major drawbacks is the pain inflicted during the process. Sindolor has developed the chemical-free EZ-Ject Injector device, based on employing cutaneous local anesthesia on the injection site by an electronic anesthetic system. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the EZ-Ject for subcutaneous injections.


Condition Intervention
Healthy
 Device: painless subcutaneous injection by EZ-Ject Injector

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Single Blind (Subject)
Official Title: Assessment of Safety and Efficacy of EZ-Ject Injector a Novel Device for Pain-Free Subcutaneous Automatic Injection in Healthy Volunteers

Further study details as provided by Sindolor:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Study primary goal is to evaluate the safety of using the EZ-Ject Injector device for subcutaneous injections.The safety of using the EZ-Ject Injector device will be established by paucity of major complications that are device-related. [ Time Frame: immediately ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Study secondary goal is to asses the efficacy of using the EZ-Ject Injector device. Efficacy will be assessed by alleviating injection pain. Subjective discomfort and pain will be assessed by analogue pain scale (VAS Scale). [ Time Frame: immediately ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
