Safety and Efficacy of the Buprenorphine Transdermal Delivery System in Subjects With Osteoarthritis Pain.

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Osteoarthritis
Registration Number
NCT00314652
Lead Sponsor
Purdue Pharma LP
Brief Summary

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 osteoarthritis pain. The double-blind treatment intervention duration is 28 days.

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.
