About this study
Official title: A Study Comparing Recurrent Use of Morphine Sulfate Immediate Release, Oxycodone/Acetaminophen (Percocet), and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen (Vicodin) at Discharge From the ED in Opioid-naïve Adult Patients With Moderate to Severe Pain.
This is a prospective randomized, clinical trial comparing recurrent use of Morphine Sulfate Immediate Release (MSIR), Oxycodone/Acetaminophen (Percocet), and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen (Vicodin) at discharge from the emergency department for opioid-naive adult patients presenting with moderate-to-severe pain. At discharge, patients will be randomized to receive either 5 mg of Oxycodone/Acetaminophen (Percocet) tablet 4 times a day for 5 days, 5 mg of Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen (Vicodin) tablet 4 times a day for 5 days, or 15 mg Morphine Sulfate Immediate Release (MSIR) tablet 4 times a day for 5 days. At 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months patients' prescription's history will be accessed by using the DoctorFirst Drug Database to determine the recurrent use that will serve as a surrogate marker of likeability and abuse liability of each prescribed opioid.
Read the detailed description
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare rates of recurrent use (surrogate for abuse liability and likeability) of Morphine Sulfate Immediate Release, Oxycodone/Acetaminophen (Percocet), and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen (Vicodin) at discharge from the ED (by comparing a percentage of patients in each group at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months that are still using the same opioid analgesics for presumably non-medical use.
Objective and Hypothesis:
The outcome of the study is to evaluate and compare the rates of recurrent use of prescribed opioids at discharge from the ED by comparing a percentage of patients in each group at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months that are still using the same opioid analgesics for presumably non-medical use that will be used as a surrogate for comparison of abuse liability and likeability. Our goal is to prove that MSIR will have the lowest recurrent use rates at specified time periods than Percocet and Vicodin and that MSIR should be considered as the opioid of choice at discharge from the ED. Our hypothesis is that MSIR is associated with lower number of patients with recurrent use at specified time periods than Percocet and Vicodin due to the lesser abuse liability and likeability.
Methodology:
This is a prospective randomized, clinical trial comparing recurrent use of Morphine Sulfate Immediate Release (MSIR), Oxycodone/Acetaminophen (Percocet), and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen (Vicodin) at discharge from the ED for opioid-naive adult patients presenting with moderate-to-severe pain. At discharge, patients will be randomized to receive either 5 mg of Oxycodone/Acetaminophen (Percocet) tablet 4 times a day for 5 days, 5 mg of Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen (Vicodin) tablet 4 times a day for 5 days, or 15 mg Morphine Sulfate Immediate Release (MSIR) tablet 4 times a day for 5 days. At 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months patients' prescription's history will be accessed by using the DoctorFirst Drug Database to determine the recurrent use that will serve as a surrogate marker of likeability and abuse liability of each prescribed opioid.
Statistical Analyses:
The nominal variables will be presented as percentages with confidence intervals (CIs), and continuous variables will be presented as means with SDs, or medians with interquartile ranges when appropriate. The odds ratios of recurrent use will be compared with logistic regression to adjust for age, sex, race, chief complaint, and opioid prescription filling. In addition, to test for proportional difference with respect to recurrent opioid use, we will use a Pearson Chi-square test.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Morphine Sulfate Immediate Release, Oxycodone/Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen in people with Pain, run by Antonios Likourezos 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 23 Apr 2019. 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 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?
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?
Percentage of Patients using Prescribed Medication at 1 month (time frame: 1 month). 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 23 Apr 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
