简要总结
This is a 6-month, nonrandomized, open-label extension study to assess the long-term safety of hydrocodone bitartrate extended-release (ER) tablets in patients with moderate to severe chronic low back pain who require continuous opioid treatment for an extended period of time.
To be eligible for Study 3104, patients were required to have completed the entire double blind treatment period on study drug (either placebo or hydrocodone bitartrate ER tablets) through week 12 of Study 3103 (NCT01789970) and to have met the entry criteria for Study 3104.
详细描述
Eligible patients from Study 3103 (NCT01789970) were enrolled for participation in this extension study. For these patients, the final study visit in Study 3103 was visit 1 for this study (also referred to as the titration or adjustment baseline visit, depending on whether the patient was enrolled under the original or amended protocol, respectively). The original protocol was amended after 26 patients had been enrolled in the study. Those who were enrolled under the original protocol participated in a double-blind titration period of up to approximately 4 weeks followed by an open-label treatment period of 22 weeks. Those patients who were enrolled under the amended protocol participated in an open-label adjustment period of up to approximately 3 weeks followed by an open-label treatment period of 22 weeks.

研究组 & 干预措施
Hydrocodone ER
Participants were administered hydrocodone ER tablets orally at dosages of 15, 30, 45, 60, or 90 mg every 12 hours at the dosage deemed successful for managing their pain. If enrolled under the original protocol, there was a double-blind titration period of four weeks to adjust the dose taken in study 3103 (NCT01789970). If enrolled under the amended protocol, there was an open-label adjustment period of three weeks to adjust the dose taken in study 3103 (NCT01789970). Both versions of protocol 3104 followed the titration/adjustment period with a open-label treatment period of 22 weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
Participants With Adverse Events
时间窗: Day 1 of the Titration/Adjustment Period to Week 22 of the Treatment Period (total of 25-26 weeks)
An adverse event (AE) was defined in the protocol as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. Severity was rated by the investigator on a scale of mild, moderate and severe, with severe= an inability to carry out usual activities. Relation of AE to treatment was determined by the investigator. Serious AEs include death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, OR an important medical event that jeopardized the patient and required medical intervention to prevent the previously listed serious outcomes.
Shifts From Baseline to Endpoint (Treatment Period) in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings
时间窗: Baseline (final visit for study 3103), End of trial visit (up to week 22 of Open-label Treatment Period which is up to week 26 including the titration/adjustment period)
A 12-lead ECG was conducted at the final visit for study 3103 which is used as baseline for this study, and at week 22 of the treatment period \[or early termination\]). A qualified physician at the study center was responsible for providing interpretation of the ECG. Endpoint refers to the last observation carried forward.
Participants With Clinically Significant (CS) Hearing Changes From Baseline to the Final Visit in Pure Tone Audiometry Test Results
时间窗: Baseline was within two weeks of the final study visit in study 3103; during study exam was within two weeks of the end of trial visit for study 3104 (up to study week 26)
Pure tone audiometry was performed by trained personnel. Hearing loss was classified in degrees of hearing from normal to profound. This classification was determined by the hearing threshold (or the softest sound detected at a specific frequency). The exact ranges that classified hearing loss depended on the exact technique used during testing and on the patient's age. These values were provided by each audiology laboratory that performed the test. For serial audiograms, the criteria for a clinically significant hearing change were based on guidance from the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA 1994, cited in \[Konrad-Martin et al 2005\]). These criteria included the following: greater than 20 decibels (dB) pure tone threshold shift at 1 frequency; greater than 10 dB shift at 2 consecutive test frequencies; or threshold response shifting to "no response" at 3 consecutive test frequencies.
Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormal Laboratory Values
时间窗: End of trial visit (up to week 22 of Open-label Treatment Period which is up to week 26 including the titration/adjustment period)
Data represents participants with potentially clinically significant abnormal serum chemistry, hematology and urinalysis values. Significance criteria: * Blood urea nitrogen: \>=10.71 mmol/L * Creatinine: \>=177 μmol/L * Uric acid: M\>=625, F\>=506 μmol/L * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST): \>=3\* upper limit of normal (ULN) * Alkaline phosphatase: \>=3\* upper limit of normal (ULN) * Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT): \>=3\* upper limit of normal (ULN) * Serum white blood cells: \>=20 \* 10\^9/L * Hemoglobin: M\<=115, F\<=95 g/dL * Hematocrit: M\<0.37, F\<0.32 L/L * Eosinophils: \>=10.0 % * Platelets: \<=75 \* 10\^9/L * Absolute neutrophils: \<=1.0 \* 10\^9/L * Urinalysis: Glucose, Ketones, and Total Protein: \>=2 unit increase from baseline
Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormal Vital Signs Values
时间窗: Day 1 of the Titration/Adjustment Period to Week 22 of the Treatment Period (total of 25-26 weeks)
Data represents participants with potentially clinically significant (PCS) vital sign values. Significance criteria * Pulse - high: \>=120 and increase of \>= 15 beats/minute from baseline * Pulse - low: \<=50 and decrease of \>=15 beats/minute * Systolic blood pressure - high: \>=180 and increase \>=20 mmHg * Systolic blood pressure - low: \<=90 and decrease \>=20 mmHg * Diastolic blood pressure - high: \>=105 and increase of \>=15 mmHg * Diastolic blood pressure - low: \<=50 and decrease of \>=15 mmHg
