Safety and Efficacy of the Buprenorphine Transdermal Delivery System in Subjects With Mod-to-Sev Osteoarthritis Pain.

This study has been terminated.

Sponsored by: Purdue Pharma LP
Information provided by: Purdue Pharma LP
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00315458
  Purpose

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the buprenorphine transdermal system (5, 10, and 20 mg) in comparison to placebo transdermal system in subjects with moderate to severe osteoarthritis pain. The double-blind treatment intervention duration is 12 weeks during which time supplemental analgesic medication (immediate release oxycodone) will be provided to all subjects in addition to study drug.

Study Type:   Interventional
Study Design:   Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Control, Parallel Assignment, Efficacy Study
Official Title:   Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group, Multicenter Study to Determine Efficacy and Safety of Buprenorphine Transdermal System in Subjects With Mod-to-Sev Osteoarthritis Pain Requiring Daily Treatment With Opioids

Further study details as provided by Purdue Pharma LP:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The time from first application of double-blind treatment to the development of inadequate analgesia at the primary OA pain site.

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Pain Right Now score

Estimated Enrollment:   310
Study Start Date:   December 2003
Estimated Study Completion Date:   February 2005

Detailed Description:

Buprenorphine is a synthetic opioid analgesic with over twenty-five years of international clinical experience indicating it to be safe and effective in a variety of therapeutic situations for the relief of moderate to severe pain. Transdermal systems may offer advantages over currently indicated oral products including ease and convenience of use, improved compliance, possible reduction in patient care, and prolonged and consistent delivery of drug.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • requiring frequent analgesic therapy for chronic condition(s), other than osteoarthritis of the hip, knee, or spine.
