What is being measured

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

  1. Single-dose PK Metric: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Hour 0 to the Last Measurable Plasma Concentration [AUCt]

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  2. Single-dose PK Metric: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve Extrapolated to Infinity (AUCinf)

    Due to insufficient sampling, AUCinf was not estimated.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  3. Single-dose PK Metric: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  4. Single-dose PK Metric: Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax)

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  5. Single-dose PK Metric: Apparent Terminal Phase Rate Constant (Lamda z)

    Due to insufficient sampling, Lamda z was not estimated.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  6. Single-dose PK Metric: Apparent Plasma Terminal Phase Half/Life (t1/2z)

    Due to insufficient sampling, t1/2z was not estimated.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  7. Single-dose PK Metric: Lag Time Was Estimated as the Time Point Immediately Prior to the First Measurable Plasma Concentration Value (Tlag)

    Due to insufficient sampling, tlag was not estimated.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  8. Single- and Multiple-dose PK Metric: Mean Area Under the Plasma Concentration During Each Dosing Interval-time Curve From Hour 0 to 12 Hours of the First Dose of ORF (AUC 0-12)

    Measured: Up to 12 hours

  9. Single- and Multiple-dose PK Metric: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration From Hour 0 to 12 Hours of the First Dose of ORF (Cmax 0-12)

    Measured: Up to 12 hours

  10. Single- and Multiple-dose PK Metric: Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration From Hour 0 to 12 Hours of the First Dose of ORF (Tmax 0-12)

    Measured: Up to 12 hours

  11. Single- and Multiple-dose PK Metric: Lag Time Estimated as the Time Point Immediately Prior to the First Measurable Plasma Concentration Value From Hour 0 to 12 Hours of the First Dose of ORF (Tlag 0-12)

    Due to insufficient sampling, tlag 0-12 was not estimated.

    Measured: Up to 12 hours

  12. The Number of Patients With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety

    Measured: Adverse events (AEs) & serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported from start of study participation through the period beyond study completion (AEs) & through 30 days following last study drug dose, or until last study visit, whichever was later (SAEs).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Multiple-dose PK Metric: Minimum Observed Plasma Concentration Just Prior to the Next Dose (Cmin)

    Measured: Up to 72 hours if all 5 doses were administered

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study of Opioid Analgesia, run by Purdue Pharma LP at 17 sites in 4 countries.

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 16 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 15 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in United States, Finland, Australia, New Zealand. 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 21 Aug 2012). 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?

Single-dose PK Metric: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Hour 0 to the Last Measurable Plasma Concentration [AUCt] (time frame: Up to 24 hours). The study lists 12 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 15 Oct 2012.
