About this study

Official title: A Parallel Open-Label Study to Examine Plasma Concentrations of Buprenorphine Following Reapplication of 10-mg Buprenorphine Transdermal System (BTDS) After Variable Application Site Rest Periods in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics of BTDS following same-site patch reapplication after rest intervals.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine the minimum application site rest period that ensures that reapplication of BTDS 10 to the same site in the deltoid region does not result in increased absorption of drug in normal healthy subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Period 1: AUC0-3d

    Period 1 was the first application of BTDS 10: To determine the minimum application site rest periods that ensured that the reapplication of BTDS to the same site in the deltoid region did not result in increased absorption of the drug as measured by AUC0-3d [The area under the plasma concentration-time course profile from time = 0 (dosing) through day 3 (to 72 hours)].

    Measured: 0 to 3 days (72 hours)

  2. Period 2: AUC0-3d.

    Period 2 was the second application of BTDS 10: To determine the minimum application site rest periods that ensured that the reapplication of BTDS to the same site in the deltoid region did not result in increased absorption of the drug as measured by AUC0-3d.

    AUC0-3d - The area under the plasma concentration-time course profile from time = 0 (dosing) through day 3 (to 72 hours).

    Measured: 0 to 3 days

  3. Period 1: Cmax0-3d

    Period 1 was the first application of BTDS 10: To determine the minimum application site rest periods that ensured that the reapplication of BTDS to the same site in the deltoid region did not result in increased absorption of the drug as measured by Cmax0-3d.

    Cmax0-3d - The maximum observed concentration taken directly from the plasma concentration-time course profile from time = 0 (dosing) through day 3 (to 72 hours). This was considered an index of maximum (peak) exposure to the study drug.

    Measured: 0 to 3 days

  4. Period 2: Cmax0-3d

    Period 2 was the second application of BTDS 10: To determine the minimum application site rest periods that ensured that the reapplication of BTDS to the same site in the deltoid region did not result in increased absorption of the drug as measured by Cmax0-3d.

    Cmax0-3d (pg/mL) - The maximum observed concentration taken directly from the plasma concentration-time course profile from time = 0 (dosing) through day 3 (to 72 hours). This was considered an index of maximum (peak) exposure to the study drug.

    Measured: 0 to 3 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Period 1: AUC0-7d.

    Period 1 was the first application of BTDS 10: The time for absorption to return to normal measured by AUC0-7d.

    AUC0-7d - The area under the plasma concentration-time course profile from time = 0 (dosing) to BTDS removal.

    Measured: 0 to 7 days

  2. Period 2: AUC0-7d

    Period 2 was the second application of BTDS 10: The time for absorption to return to normal measured by AUC0-7d.

    AUC0-7d - The area under the plasma concentration-time course profile from time = 0 (dosing) to BTDS removal.

    Measured: 0 to 7 days

  3. Period 1: Cmax0-7

    Period 1 was the first application of BTDS 10: The time for absorption to return to normal measured by Cmax0-7.

    Cmax0-7d - The maximum observed concentration taken directly from the plasma concentration-time course profile.

    Measured: 0 to 7 days

  4. Period 2: Cmax0-7d

    Period 2 was the second application of BTDS 10: The time for absorption to return to normal measured by Cmax0-7d.

    Cmax0-7d - The maximum observed concentration taken directly from the plasma concentration-time course profile.

    Measured: 0 to 7 days

  5. Period 1: Tmax0-7d.

    Period 1 was the first application of BTDS 10: The time for absorption to return to normal measured by Tmax0-7d.

    Tmax0-7d - The time from dosing to the maximum observed concentration was taken directly from the plasma concentration-time course profile. If the maximum plasma concentration was observed at 2 or more consecutive time points, the earliest time point was used for Tmax.

    Measured: 0 to 7days

  6. Period 2: Tmax0-7d.

    Period 2 was the second application of BTDS 10: The time for absorption to return to normal measured by Tmax0-7d.

    Tmax0-7d - The time from dosing to the maximum observed concentration was taken directly from the plasma concentration-time course profile. If the maximum plasma concentration was observed at 2 or more consecutive time points, the earliest time point was used for Tmax.

    Measured: 0 to 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Buprenorphine transdermal patch in people with Healthy, run by Purdue Pharma LP 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 9 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 3 Sep 2012. 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 7 Feb 2011). 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?

Period 1: AUC0-3d (time frame: 0 to 3 days (72 hours)). The study lists 4 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 3 Sep 2012.
