About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Preference Between Two Buprenorphine Sublingual Formulations, After a Switch From the Marketed Tablet (Subutex®) to the New Fast Dissolving Tablet (FDT), in Opioid-dependent Patients With Buprenorphine Maintenance Therapy

This is a multi-center, open-label, preference study of two sublingual formulations of buprenorphine HCl, in opioid-dependent patients on buprenorphine maintenance therapy.

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the overall preference between two buprenorphine sublingual formulations, after a switch from the marketed tablet (Subutex®) to the new fast dissolving tablet (FDT), in opioid-dependent patients with buprenorphine 8 mg or 16 mg daily maintenance therapy.

Being tested
Buprenorphine hydrochloride marketed sublingual tablet (Subutex), Buprenorphine hydrochloride fast dissolving tablet (FDT)

What is being measured

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

  1. The Overall Preference Between Two Buprenorphine Sublingual Formulations, After a Switch From the Marketed Tablet (Subutex®) to the New Fast Dissolving Tablet (FDT), in Opioid-dependent Patients With Buprenorphine 8 mg or 16 mg Daily Maintenance Therapy.

    Patient's overall satisfaction on Day 1 to Day 5 postdose. Marketed sublingual tablet (Marketed SL): Days 1 and 2; Fast dissolving tablet (FTD): Days 3, 4, and 5. Within 1 hour after complete dissolution of the tablet(s), overall satisfaction towards the study treatment was to be scored by the patient himself / herself using a 10-cm visual analogic scale (VAS) ranging from "Not at all satisfied" (score = 0) to "Totally satisfied" (score = 10).

    Measured: Daily, Day 1 to Day 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Buprenorphine hydrochloride marketed sublingual tablet (Subutex) and Buprenorphine hydrochloride fast dissolving tablet (FDT) in people with Opioid Dependency, run by Indivior Inc..

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 16 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 11 Apr 2023. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 13 Apr 2010). 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?

The Overall Preference Between Two Buprenorphine Sublingual Formulations, After a Switch From the Marketed Tablet (Subutex®) to the New Fast Dissolving Tablet (FDT), in Opioid-dependent Patients With Buprenorphine 8 mg or 16 mg Daily Maintenance Therapy. (time frame: Daily, Day 1 to Day 5). 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?
