About this study

Official title: A Randomized Two-way Crossover, Single-Dose, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Bioequivalence of a Test Formulation of KADIAN (2 x 10mg) Capsules Compared to a KADIAN 20 mg Capsule in Healthy Adult Subjects Under Fed Conditions

The objective of this single-dose, open-label, randomized, two-treatment, two-period crossover study was to compare the relative bioavailability of a test formulation of KADIAN (2 x 10 mg) capsules manufactured by Alpharma Inc. to an equivalent oral dose of the commercially available reference product, KADIAN (1 x 20 mg)capsules manufactured by Alpharma Branded Products Inc.. Following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, subjects consumed a standard high-calorie, high-fat breakfast meal that began 30 minutes prior to each dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing morphine sulfate extended-release capsules and KADIAN (morphine sulfate extended-release) capsules in people with Healthy, run by Actavis Inc. at 1 site 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 7 inclusion and 14 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 17 Aug 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 1 Sep 2009). 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?

Maximum Plasma Morphine Concentration (time frame: 0 (predose), and 2,4,6,6.5,7,7.5,8,8.5,9,9.5,10,12,18,24,30,36,48 hrs). 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 17 Aug 2010.
