What is being measured

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

  1. Patient Diary-derived Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Pain Intensity Change From Baseline to Week 12 or Final Visit of the Double-blind Phase

    Participants rate their pain intensity on a numeric rating scale (NRS), where 0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain, in a daily diary. At Week 12 (or final visit), all measurements during the preceding week are averaged, and the mean change from the mean score at baseline is calculated.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing OROS hydromorphone in people with Chronic Pain, run by Mallinckrodt.

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 5 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 16 Sep 2020. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Aug 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Patient Diary-derived Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Pain Intensity Change From Baseline to Week 12 or Final Visit of the Double-blind Phase (time frame: Baseline, Week 12). 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 16 Sep 2020.
