Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Osteoarthritis
Interventions
Drug: Placebo transdermal patch
Registration Number
NCT00315458
Lead Sponsor
Purdue Pharma LP
Brief Summary

The original objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the buprenorphine transdermal system (BTDS) (5, 10, and 20) in comparison to placebo transdermal system in subjects with moderate to severe osteoarthritis pain. However, this study was terminated early with only 35% of the planned sample size, therefore the primary objective is changed to focus on the safety evaluations.

Detailed Description

Buprenorphine is a synthetic opioid analgesic with over 25 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.

For the Run-in and double-blind phases of the study, the focus of this study was changed before unblinding to a safety study due to early termination and having enrolled only 35% of the planned sample size. Therefore, the safety data is presented for the run-in and double-blind and overall exposure to BTDS, which includes the extension phase.
