About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Repeated- Dose, Parallel-Group Comparison of Safety, Efficacy, and Quality of Life Measures With Dilaudid CR (Hydromorphone HCI) or Oxycontin (Oxycodone HCI) in Patients With Chronic Osteoarthritis
The purpose of this study was to characterize the effectiveness and safety of OROS hydromorphone HCL and OxyContin in patients with chronic osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee or hip who are receiving chronic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or other nonsteroidal, non-opioid analgesic (ie, acetaminophen or aspirin) therapy.
Read the detailed description
This was a multicenter, open-label, randomized (patients are assigned different treatments based on chance), dose-titration, parallel-group study characterizing the effectiveness and safety of OROS hydromorphone HCL and OxyContin in adult patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee or hip who were unable to consistently control or treat their osteoarthritis pain with non opioid medications or with as-needed use of an opioid analgesic. The study consisted of a 14-day period for randomization, dose-titration, and stabilization, followed by a 4-week maintenance phase. Eligible patients were randomized equally to begin therapy with either OROS hydromorphone HCL 8 mg daily or OxyContin 10 mg twice daily. Upward dose titration (doses with increase in titration) from the starting doses was allowed every 2 days, based on pain relief and opioid-related side effects. The dose was to have been titrated to provide the best balance between pain relief and side effects. After 14 days, if therapeutic efficacy with dose stabilization had been documented, the patient was allowed to begin the 4-week maintenance phase. The expected primary efficacy variable endpoints were: The mean pain relief score at endpoint defined as the mean of the last 2 non missing pain relief scores during the Maintenance Phase, and the days from study medication initiation to the third day of moderate to complete pain relief on the patient's final titrated dose (as reported in the patient diary) during the Randomization, Titration and Stabilization Phase. Safety was evaluated by adverse events (AEs), vital signs, and physical examinations. OROS hydromorphone HCL 8mg tablet orally daily or OxyContin 10mg tablet orally daily; Upward dose titration from the starting doses was allowed every 2 days, based on pain relief and opioid-related side effects; After 14 days of efficacy with dose stabilization, patient was allowed to begin the 4 week maintenance phase.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing OROS hydromorphone HCL ; OxyContin in people with Osteoarthritis, Knee and Osteoarthritis, Hip, run by Alza Corporation, DE, USA.
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 6 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 27 Apr 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Two primary efficacy:The mean pain relief score at endpoint during the Maintenance Phase. The day from study medication initiation to the third day of moderate to complete pain relief on the final titrated dose during all three phases.. 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 27 Apr 2010; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
