About this study

This study is a preliminary device safety and performance evaluation in healthy adult volunteers (ages 18-55 years).

Each participant will receive six injections of 0.1 ml of sterile saline solution into the skin:

  • Upper deltoid with the side-load ID adapter
  • Upper deltoid with the autodisable (AD) ID adapter
  • Suprascapular (behind the shoulder) with the side-load ID adapter
  • Suprascapular with the AD ID adapter
  • Forearm with the side-load ID adapter
  • Forearm with the AD ID adapter

Intradermal administration of each injection will be assessed:

  • The liquid remaining on the surface of the skin will be blotted with absorbent paper and the amount of liquid present will be recorded.
  • The formation of an intradermal wheal will be observed, and the diameter of the wheal measured using a ruler or similar measurement tool.
  • A photo of the injection site will be taken.

Injections will be assessed for safety by observation of injection sites for any local adverse events.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Female and male participants ages 18 to 55 years.
  • Healthy enough to participate in the clinical trial per site investigator assessment.
  • Healthy skin on the upper deltoid, suprascapular, and forearm regions (both sides of the body).
  • Able to provide signed informed consent and understand study procedures per ICH/GCP guidelines.
  • Literate in English.
  • Available by telephone 48 hours after the study visit.

Exclusion criteria

  • Skin abnormalities on upper deltoid, suprascapular, and forearm regions of either side of the body (scars, rash, infection), tattoo at the injection site, or other skin conditions that would interfere with the ability to visualize an intradermal injection in the opinion of the investigator.

Treatment and study plan

ID adapter (autodisable)

Device

Intradermal delivery device which fits on the end of a syringe to limit the depth and angle of needle penetration into the skin. Contains an autodisable feature to prevent reuse.

Other names: Autodisable intradermal adapter, AD ID adapter

ID adapter (side load)

Device

Intradermal delivery device which fits on the end of a syringe to limit the depth and angle of needle penetration into the skin.

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Injections Delivered to the Intradermal Layer of the Skin

    Time frame: 1 day

    The proportion of saline injections resulting in delivery to the intradermal layer of the skin will be assessed by measurement of intradermal wheals with diameters ≥ 5mm and the volume of liquid injected.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Injections With Safety Events

    Time frame: Within 30 minutes and within 48 hours of injection

    The proportion of injections with safety events will be calculated for events occurring within 30 minutes and within 48 hours of injection.
