A Pharmacokinetic Study to Evaluate the Dose-Proportionality of Tramadol (ULTRAM) Extended-Release (ER) in Healthy Participants
- Conditions
- Healthy
- Interventions
- Drug: Tramodol Extended-Release (ER)
- Registration Number
- NCT01800682
- Lead Sponsor
- Janssen Research & Development, LLC
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose proportionality of the pharmacokinetics (explores what the body does to the drug) of tramadol in healthy adult participants.
- Detailed Description
This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single-center, randomized (study drug assigned by chance), and 3-way crossover (method used to switch participants from one study group to another in a clinical trial) study of tramadol extended-release (ER). All participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 6 possible treatment sequences of tramadol. The study consists of 3 parts: Screening (within 20 days before study commences on Day -1); Open-label treatment (consisting of 3 single-dose treatment periods separated with washout period of 4-14 days, and dosing will be under fasting conditions on Day 1 in each treatment period); and Follow-up (up to 48-hour blood sample collection on Day 3 of Period 3). The duration of study is anticipated to be 6-8 weeks per participant. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time to reach maximum concentration (tmax) of Tramadol Predose and at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose of study treatment The Tmax is time to reach the maximum plasma concentration.
Maximum concentration (Cmax) of Tramadol Predose and at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose of study treatment The Cmax is the maximum plasma concentration.
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC[last]) Predose and at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose of study treatment The AUC(last) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of the last quantifiable concentration.
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinite time (AUC[infinity]) Predose and at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose of study treatment The AUC(infinity) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z), in which C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration.
Elimination half-life period (t1/2) associated with the terminal slope (Lambda z) Predose and at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose of study treatment Elimination half-life associated with the terminal slope (lambda\[z\]) of the semi logarithmic drug concentration-time curve, calculated as 0.693/lambda(z).
Terminal slope (Lambda z) Predose and at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose of study treatment Terminal slope is defined by first-order rate constant associated with the terminal portion of the curve, determined as the negative slope of the terminal log-linear phase of the drug concentration-time curve.
