About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Study of Buprenorphine Transdermal System (BTDS) in Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Hip or Knee

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the buprenorphine transdermal system (5, 10, and 20 mg) in comparison to placebo transdermal system in subjects with osteoarthritis pain. The double-blind treatment intervention duration is 28 days.

Read the detailed description

Buprenorphine is a synthetic opioid analgesic with over twenty-five years of international clinical experience indicating it to be safe and effective in a variety of therapeutic situations for the relief of moderate to severe pain. Transdermal systems may offer advantages over currently indicated oral products including ease and convenience of use, improved compliance, possible reduction in patient care, and prolonged and consistent delivery of drug.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of patients who were treated successfully for pain management

  2. a patient fails if he or she discontinues early due to ineffective treatment or has a Patient Satisfaction Scale score of poor or fair at the final visit

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Average pain intensity and patient satisfaction scores

  2. Incidence of early discontinuation due to lack of efficacy

  3. Time to early discontinuation due to lack of efficacy

  4. Dose level at end of titration

  5. Investigator's assessment of therapeutic response

  6. Diary pain scores

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Buprenorphine transdermal delivery system in people with Osteoarthritis, run by Purdue Pharma LP at 22 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 May 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of patients who were treated successfully for pain management. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 May 2006.
