Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Comparison of anesthetic efficacy of EMLA Test Patch with the marketed EMLA patch (EMLA current Reference Patch) by pain reduction assessment.
At test procedure 1 and at test procedure 2 (which is after 4 days of washout period following test procedure 1).

To compare the anesthetic efficacy in pain reduction after an intravenous needle insertion whether or not actual IV insertion was achieved will be evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS). The degree of pain experienced will be assessed on a 100 mm horizontal, non-graded paper-based VAS, with the endpoints representing "no pain" (0 mm), to "the worst possible pain" (100 mm). The VAS scores will be listed by subject, treatment sequence (TP/TR and TR/TP, where T=test, R=reference and P=Placebo), treatment (T, R and P) and hand (left, right).

Secondary Endpoints

Number of participants with Adverse events (AEs), skin sensation and reactions as variables of safety and tolerability.
From randomization until test procedure 2 or last study visit, whichever is later.

EMLA test patchDRUGEMLA® Test Patch containing the active ingredients lidocaine base 25 mg/g and prilocaine base 25 mg/g in an oil-in-water emulsion saturating the absorbent cellulose disc. The source of cellulose for the cellulose disc will be provided from a new supplier in this test patch.
EMLA current reference patchDRUGEMLA current Reference Patch, containing the active ingredients lidocaine base 25 mg/g and prilocaine base 25 mg/g in an oil-in-water emulsion saturating the absorbent cellulose disc.
Placebo PatchDRUGPlacebo Patch, based on the EMLA Test Patch (incorporating the absorbent cellulose disc with cellulose from the current supplier), where the absorbent disc will be saturated with a placebo oil-in-water emulsion, where the eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine is replaced with fractionated coconut oil and chlorhexidine digluconate 20%, with identical appearance to the active EMLA patches.
