New Combination NCT00016744 ↗ Phenylbutyrate/Genistein Duotherapy in Delta F508-Homozygous(for Cystic Fibrosis) Completed Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Phase 1/Phase 2 2001-09-01 We are testing a new combination of medicines, to determine if they could be used to treat cystic fibrosis (CF). Subjects with CF who have two copies of the most common mutation (change) found in patients with CF called DF508. CF is caused by a lack of chloride movement in the nose, sinuses, lungs, intestines, pancreas and sweat glands. We are conducting this study to determine the safety of using a combination of two medicines, Phenylbutyrate and Genistein, to improve the ability of the cells lining the nose to regulate movement of salt (chloride) and water in people with CF. Phenylbutyrate has been extensively used to treat patients with rare metabolic diseases (which are very different from CF), Phenylbutyrate is an investigational drug for the purpose of this study. Genistein is a naturally occurring substance that is found in food products such as soy and tofu, but is also an investigational drug for this study. Both drugs may be able to restore normal chloride movements in body organs and glands. We will be studying salt and water in the nose movement by a technique called nasal transepithelial potential difference (NPD).

New Formulation NCT00244777 ↗ Introduction of Hypo-osmolar ORS for Routine Use Completed United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Phase 4 2002-12-01 The World Health Organization has very recently recommended the routine use of a hypo-osmolar ORS in the management of diarrhoeal diseases. This recommendation is based on the better efficacy of the hypo-osmolar ORS over the standard WHO ORS demonstrated in controlled clinical trials. The recommendation, however, also expressed the need for "careful monitoring to better assess risk, if any, of symptomatic hyponatraemia". There thus is a need for phase IV trials before the new solution is introduced into routine clinical practice to assess the risk in relatively large number of patient populations. The proposed study will be carried out at two different settings- at the urban settings of the Dhaka Hospital (60000 patients) and at the rural settings of the Matlab Hospital (15000 patients) of ICDDR,B. The hypo-osmolar rice or glucose-based ORS will be introduced as standard management of patients with diarrhoea . The hypo-osmolar ORS will contain 75 mmol /L of sodium instead of 90 mmol/L. Surveillance will be carried out to detect adverse events focusing on the occurrence of seizures or undue lethargy during hospitalization. Each episode of seizure or undue lethargy would be evaluated to determine if they are associated with abnormal levels of serum sodium or glucose, or fever. It has been estimated that about 3% (1,800) of patients initially admitted to the Short Stay Ward of the Dhaka Hospital, and 340 patients at the Matlab Hospital might require admission to the longer stay inpatient wards due to seizure or altered consciousness. Such patients would be thoroughly assessed including determination of their serum sodium and glucose, two common causes of seizures/altered consciousness, to determine if and to what extent they could be attributed to hyponatraemia.The results from this study would be used in planning and implementing the routine use of the new formulation of ORS at all Government, NGO and private health care facilities that treat diarrhoeal patients, in Bangladesh and in other countries.

Zinc Chloride in Plastic Container Clinical Trials Update, Market Analysis, and Price-Projection Outlook (2026–2036)

Zinc chloride in plastic container is an over-the-counter/compendial zinc salt product positioned for topical/skin and/or oral repletion use depending on the labeled indication and regulatory classification. This category’s market behavior is driven by (1) label- and dosage-form specific demand, (2) supply of compliant plastic-packaged zinc chloride concentrates/solutions, and (3) generic and compendial sourcing rather than prescription exclusivity. A market-sized projection and trial pipeline review cannot be completed because no drug-specific, label-specific, strength-specific, or sponsor-specific clinical-trial dataset is identifiable from the provided product descriptor.

Are there any clinical trials for “zinc chloride in plastic container” and what are they studying?

No clinical trials can be mapped to this exact product name from the information provided.

What trials would need to exist to support a real pipeline readout?

A buildable pipeline requires at minimum: study title, NCT number, sponsor, therapeutic intent (e.g., wound care, oral supplementation, antisepsis), formulation details (zinc chloride concentration, solvent system), route, and packaging statement tied to the plastic container. Without those anchor identifiers, clinical-trial status cannot be verified for this specific “in plastic container” presentation.

Which regulatory pathway would these trials usually support?

If the product is marketed as an approved drug with a therapeutic claim, it would typically be tied to an NDA/ANDA/BLA or an OTC monograph pathway depending on jurisdiction. If marketed as a compendial or dietary supplement ingredient, clinical trials are often not registered under the exact product naming convention.

How big is the market for zinc chloride products in plastic containers and what drives demand?

A quantitative market analysis cannot be completed using only the descriptor “zinc chloride in plastic container.”

What market segments would zinc chloride packaging intersect?

Demand would typically be shaped by one or more of the following, depending on the regulated product category:

  • Oral zinc supplementation (for deficiency indications)
  • Topical antiseptic or wound-care formulations
  • Industrial or laboratory uses (if the product is not regulated as a therapeutic drug in the target jurisdiction)
  • Hospital formulary items where packaging compliance matters

Which KPIs would define a credible market model?

A defensible model would require:

  • Country-level unit consumption by strength and dosage form
  • Average selling prices by segment
  • Distribution channel split (retail pharmacy, hospital procurement, wholesalers)
  • Substitution rates across zinc chloride formulations and alternative zinc salts (e.g., zinc gluconate)

Those inputs are not available from the provided product description.

What is the clinical trial pipeline and timeline for zinc chloride formulations by route (oral vs topical)?

No route-specific pipeline can be verified without study identifiers.

What endpoints would matter for investment-grade pipeline comparisons?

  • Oral zinc: serum/plasma zinc repletion, GI tolerability, adherence
  • Topical zinc chloride: microbial reduction, wound healing metrics, tolerability and penetration, burn/wound safety where applicable

No such endpoint-linked trials can be attributed to the provided product descriptor.

When does zinc chloride exclusivity end and when can generics enter?

Exclusivity timelines cannot be assigned because the exact regulatory approval (NDA/ANDA/OTC monograph) and the related Orange Book listing(s) are not identifiable from the descriptor.

How exclusivity is usually determined for small-molecule zinc salts

For prescription drugs, exclusivity is typically tied to:

  • 5-year new chemical entity exclusivity (rare for zinc salts)
  • 3-year new clinical investigation exclusivity
  • Patent exclusivity via Orange Book patents
  • Exclusivity tied to specific dosage forms and packaging/usage claims

For OTC products, monograph status drives market entry rather than patents. Those determinations require a specific product code and regulatory record.

What patents protect zinc chloride in plastic containers and how strong is the patent estate?

A patent estate cannot be mapped because “zinc chloride in plastic container” is not sufficient to identify:

  • the active ingredient specification (zinc chloride only vs zinc chloride plus other excipients),
  • the exact finished dosage form,
  • the listed patents in Orange Book for the finished product.

Which companies manufacture zinc chloride products in plastic containers and what market share do they have?

No company-to-product mapping can be performed from the descriptor.

What data is required for a defensible competitive map

  • FDA labeler/manufacturer and NDC-level mapping
  • Hospital group purchasing organization (GPO) presence
  • Import/export trade flow and supplier registrations
  • Shelf presence and channel mix

Those inputs are not provided.

What is the FDA status of zinc chloride in plastic container products (NDA/ANDA/OTC)?

FDA regulatory status cannot be determined from the provided descriptor alone.

What would be required to answer “Orange Book status”

An Orange Book query requires an identifiable NDA or ingredient strength/dosage form match to return listed patents and exclusivity. The descriptor does not include NDC, NDA, application holder, or strength.

What pricing and revenue projections are realistic for zinc chloride products (2026–2036)?

No projection can be produced without baseline:

  • current market size and unit volumes,
  • expected growth rate driven by clinical adoption or guideline changes,
  • pricing power and reimbursement dynamics,
  • competitive entry schedule.

A projection model would also need scenario assumptions on generic penetration and substitution among zinc salt forms. None of these can be anchored.

How do zinc chloride products compare with alternative zinc salts (zinc gluconate, zinc sulfate) in clinical and commercial terms?

No direct comparison can be made because the descriptor does not specify indication, route, dose, or regulatory category.

What comparison variables would be used

  • Bioavailability and tolerability by salt
  • Dosing frequency and patient adherence
  • Cost per elemental zinc unit
  • Evidence level for the labeled indication

Those parameters are not defined for the provided product description.

What generic entry risks exist for zinc chloride in plastic containers?

Generic entry risk cannot be quantified without:

  • the exact reference listed drug (RLD) or NDA/ANDA linkage,
  • whether the product is prescription with Orange Book patents,
  • whether the packaging or specific formulation changes create non-infringing versions.

What manufacturing/IP barriers could affect supply of plastic-packaged zinc chloride formulations?

No barriers can be assessed without knowing the specific formulation and manufacturing method (e.g., sterile vs non-sterile, concentration range, container material specifications, compatibility requirements).

Where plastic container constraints typically arise

  • Adsorption to container walls
  • Leachables and extractables profile
  • Stability and preservative compatibility
  • Transport and shelf-life limits

Those are formulation-specific and not inferable here.


Key Takeaways

  • “Zinc chloride in plastic container” is not specific enough to support a verified clinical-trials pipeline review, Orange Book/patent mapping, company/market share identification, or 2026–2036 revenue and price projections.
  • To produce an investment-usable update, the analysis must be anchored to an identifiable finished product record (NDC/NDA/labeler strength/dosage form) and traceable clinical trial identifiers.

FAQs

  1. How do I determine whether “zinc chloride” is regulated as an OTC product, compendial ingredient, or prescription drug?
  2. What data sources are most reliable for mapping zinc salt products to NDC and manufacturer for market sizing?
  3. Do zinc chloride topical formulations have stability or compatibility constraints specific to plastic containers?
  4. How is patent exclusivity typically structured for small-molecule salt formulations and their dosage forms?
  5. What endpoints are most commonly used in zinc salt clinical studies for oral repletion versus topical applications?
