About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, 2-Period, 2-Treatment, 2-Way Crossover Bioequivalence Study of Buprenorphine 8 mg Sublingual Tablets Under Fasting Conditions.

The object of this study is to compare the rate and extent of absorption of an investigational formulation of buprenorphine 8 mg sublingual tablets manufactured by Barr Laboratories, Inc. to an equivalent oral dose of the commercially available reference product, Subutex® manufactured by Reckitt Benckiser, following and overnight fast of at least 10 hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cmax of Buprenorphine.

    Bioequivalence based on Buprenorphine Cmax (maximum observed concentration of drug substance in plasma).

    Measured: Blood samples collected over a 144 hour period.

  2. AUC0-t for Buprenorphine.

    Bioequivalence based on Buprenorphine AUC0-t (area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to time of last measurable concentration).

    Measured: Blood samples collected over a 144 hour period.

  3. AUC0-inf for Buprenorphine.

    Bioequivalence based on Buprenorphine AUC0-inf (area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity).

    Measured: Blood samples collected over a 144 hour period.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Cmax for Norbuprenorphine.

    Informational comparison of Cmax (maximum observed concentration of drug substance in plasma) values for the metabolite Norbuprenorphine.

    Measured: Blood samples collected over a 144 hour period.

  2. AUC0-t for Norbuprenorphine.

    Informational comparison of AUC0-t (area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to time of last measurable concentration) values for the metabolite Norbuprenorphine.

    Measured: Blood samples collected over a 144 hour period.

  3. AUC0-inf for Norbuprenorphine.

    Informational comparison of AUC0-inf (area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity) values for the metabolite Norbuprenorphine.

    Measured: Blood samples collected over a 144 hour period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Buprenorphine in people with Healthy, run by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA 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 6 inclusion and 20 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 18 Jan 2020. 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 13 Sep 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?

Cmax of Buprenorphine. (time frame: Blood samples collected over a 144 hour period.). The study lists 3 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 18 Jan 2020.
