The objectives of this study are to evaluate the pharmacokinetic and adhesion performance of ZTlido (lidocaine topical system) 1.8% during physical exercise, application of heat, and under normal conditions.
In this open-label, three-period crossover study, 12 healthy, adult male and female subjects are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment sequences. During each treatment period, subjects have three lidocaine topical systems applied to their back for 12 hours with 7-day washout between treatments. In each treatment period, the subject will either exercise (Treatment A), apply a heating pad (Treatment B), or refrain from these activities (Treatment C) while wearing the topical system. Blood samples for lidocaine PK will be collected pre-dose until 48 hours. Adhesion will be monitored throughout the wear time and skin irritation will be assessed the topical system is removed.

Time frame: 0, 2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 24 and 48 hours post-dose
Area under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) from Time 0 to Time 48 hours
Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from 0 to 48 hours of lidocaine in plasma
Time frame: 0, 2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 24 and 48 hours post-dose
Area under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) from Time 0 to Time Infinity
Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from 0 to infinite time of lidocaine in plasma
Time frame: 0, 2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 24 and 48 hours post-dose
Cumulative Adhesion Score
Adhesion to skin assessed by FDA 0-4 scoring system. The scoring for adhesion of patches is indicated as follows: 0 = ≥ 90% Adhered (essentially no lift off the skin), 1 = ≥ 75% to \< 90% Adhered (some edges only lifting off the skin), 2 = ≥ 50% to \< 75% Adhered (less than half of the patch lifting off the skin), \> 0% to \< 50% Adhered but not detached (more than half of the patch lifting off the skin without falling off), and 4 = 0% adhered (patched completely detached). The cumulative adhesion score is calculated as the sum of scores at each assessment time point.
Time frame: 0, 0.5, 3, 6, 9, 12 hours post-dose
Dermal Response Score
Product tolerability is assessed by Dermal Response Score. The application site is evaluated 30 minutes and 2 hours after product removal (12.5 and 14 hours post-dose, respectively). Response score from 0 to 7; 0= No evidence of irritation, 1= Minimal erythema, barely perceptible, 2= Definite erythema, readily visible; minimal edema or minimal papular response, 3= Erythema and papules, 4= Definite edema, 5= Erythema, edema and papules, 6= Vesicular eruption, 7= Strong reaction spreading beyond test (i.e., application) site.
