About this study

Official title: A Phase 4, Open-Label Study of the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of XARTEMIS® XR (7.5 Oxycodone Hydrochloride/325 mg Acetaminophen) in Postsurgical Adolescent Subjects (Ages 12 to 17) With Moderate to Severe Acute Pain

Phase 4, multicenter, open-label, multiple-dose study of the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of XARTEMIS XR in postsurgical adolescent subjects aged 12 to 17 years with moderate to severe acute pain. The study will assess the safety of administering multiple doses of XARTEMIS XR in this population.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Reach Steady State

    The time to reach steady state in participants who received all 5 doses

    Measured: within 60 hours

  2. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve (AUC) From Time Zero (AUC0) to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Plasma Sample (AUClast)

    Elimination constant estimates required for the calculation of the planned AUC0-12 hours were not available. AUClast therefore provided the best available measure of exposure, effectively representing AUC0-12 hours for both moieties. While considered the best available measure, it also remains inaccurate because of the extended-release formulation and the lack of data beyond the 12.08-hour time point.

    Measured: within approximately 12 hours (12.08 hours)

  3. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    The highest concentration of study drug within 12 hours.

    Measured: within approximately 12 hours (12.08 hours)

  4. Apparent Plasma Terminal Drug Elimination Half-life (T1/2)

    PK parameters are determined after a single administration of study drug on Day 1. Plasma concentrations that are below the level of quantification (BLQ) are set to 0 before Tmax, with the exception that a BLQ value occurring between measurable concentrations is set to missing. BLQ values that occur after Tmax are set to missing.

    Measured: within approximately 12 hours (12.08 hours)

  5. Time of Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax)

    The time at which the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) is reached.

    Measured: within approximately 12 hours (12.08 hours)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing XARTEMIS XR in people with Acute Pain, run by Mallinckrodt at 2 sites 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 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 2 sites 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 22 Jan 2020). 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?

Time to Reach Steady State (time frame: within 60 hours). The study lists 5 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 22 Jan 2020.
