Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 12 to 17 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Males and females, aged 12 to 17 years, with pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock opioid treatment at a dose equivalent to at least 20 mg daily of hydrocodone for at least 2 weeks.
  • Patients must have stable vital signs and hemoglobin oxygen saturation, eg, measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2).
  • Patients must be willing and able to swallow medicinal tablets.
  • Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to the start of study drug treatment.
  • Female patients who are sexually active must be using (and continue using throughout the study) an acceptable method of birth control, per investigator's discretion.
  • Patients and patient's parent/caregiver must be compliant with the protocol, ie, must be able to perform study assessments and understand and complete the age-appropriate scale to rate pain intensity.
  • Patients must not have a cognitive developmental delay or any other condition that would preclude them from completing the age-appropriate pain scale.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who require a starting total daily dose of HYD > 120 mg.
  • Patients who have had surgery within 72 hours prior to the start of study drug treatment.
  • Patients who have any planned surgery during the study will be excluded.
  • Female patients who are pregnant or lactating.
  • Patients who are allergic to hydrocodone or any other component of HYD or have a history of allergies to other opioids.
  • Patients who receive or are expected to receive an investigational drug/therapy during the study drug treatment or follow-up period.

  • Patients who are anticipated to receive any hydrocodone- or hydromorphone-containing products (other than study drug) during the study or 3 days prior to initiation of treatment with study drug.
  • Patients with a history of alcohol, medication, or illicit drug abuse or addiction and/or opioid abuse or addiction at any time.
  • Patients with contraindication to blood sampling.
  • Other protocol-specific inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2B, Open-label, Multicenter Study Evaluating the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Effectiveness of Hydrocodone Bitartrate Extended-Release Tablets (HYD) in Children, Aged 12 to 17 Years Inclusive, With Moderate to Severe Malignant and/or Nonmalignant Pain Requiring Around-the-Clock Opioid Analgesics

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and effectiveness of Hydrocodone Bitartrate (HYD) tablets in children with moderate to severe pain requiring around-the-clock opioid analgesics.

What is being measured

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

  1. The number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks (during the study) and 7-10 days poststudy (safety follow-up assessment).

  2. Pharmacokinetic analysis to characterize the apparent volume of distribution (Vc/F) of hydrocodone following oral administration

    Measured: Day 1, End of week 2, End of week 4

  3. Pharmacokinetic analysis to characterize the apparent oral clearance (CL/F) of hydrocodone following oral administration

    Measured: Day 1, End of week 2, End of week 4

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. "Pain Right Now" Assessment by Patients using 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS)

    Measured: Day 1 up to week 4

  2. Parent/ Caregiver-Assessed Global Impression of Change (PGIC)

    Measured: Week 4 / end of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing HYD tablets in people with Pain, run by Purdue Pharma LP.

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 10 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2017. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety (time frame: Up to 4 weeks (during the study) and 7-10 days poststudy (safety follow-up assessment).). 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 24 Apr 2017.
