Condition(s) targeted: Baclofen Withdrawal Syndrome

Intervention: Oral baclofen (Drug); Intervenous baclofen (Drug)

Phase: Phase 1

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: University of Minnesota - Clinical and Translational Science Institute

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to characterize baclofen pharmacokinetics following oral and intravenous administration in patients who are on chronic oral baclofen therapy. The secondary objective is to determine the safety profile of an IV baclofen formulation. This study is a randomized crossover study with two treatment arms. All subjects will receive a dose of oral baclofen and a dose of IV baclofen on separate study days. Whether the oral or intravenous form is given on the first study day will be randomized in a 1: 1 manner. The pharmacokinetic and tolerability information gained from this study will support the development of further studies to assess the use of IV baclofen to prevent or treat baclofen withdrawal syndrome.

Subject has taken or used any investigational drug or device in the 30 days prior to screening. 7. Subject has taken either prescribed or over the counter medication for 48 hours prior to baclofen administration on either of the study days. 8.
