Open-Label Safety and Tolerability of Oxymorphone IR and ER in Opioid Tolerant Pediatric Subjects

Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Chronic Pain
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00765856
Lead Sponsor
Endo Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

Patients will convert from current opioid to Oxymorphone ER and undergo titration. During the Titration Period, subjects will receive daily oxymorphone Extended Release tablets(s) every 12 hours. Dosing adjustments will be based on the review of the subject's pain scores. Oxymorphone IR 5 mg will be provided to be used as supplemental "breakthrough" pain medication (as needed). Titration Period will end when the fixed dose of study medication is tolerated and the subject achieves adequate analgesia. Subjects will then proceed to the open-label 3-month maintenance period on the fixed dose of study medication established during the Titration Period.

Detailed Description

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Extent of Exposure to Oxymorphone Extended-Release: Average Daily DoseDay 1 up to Day 112 (approximately 4 weeks for titration period and 12 weeks for the maintenance period)

Data based on drug accountability data from the case report forms. Data is based on the number of enrolled participants in each treatment period. All participants entering maintenance period finished titration period. Study was terminated early by Sponsor due to a change in the FDA postmarketing requirement. The study was not terminated for safety reasons.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Extent of Exposure to Oxymorphone Immediate-Release Rescue Medication: Average Number of Daily RescuesDay 1 up to Day 112 (approximately 4 weeks for titration period and 12 weeks for the maintenance period)

Average number of daily rescues per day by participants. Data based on drug accountability data from the case report forms. Data with missing dates are included in calculation. Data is based on the number of enrolled participants in each treatment period. Two (2) participants did not use Oxymorphone IR as rescue medication in the Titration period. Therefore, 25 out of 27 participants were analyzed for this outcome measure. All participants entering maintenance period finished titration period. Study was terminated early by Sponsor due to a change in the FDA postmarketing requirement. The study was not terminated for safety reasons.

Extent of Exposure to Oxymorphone Extended-Release: Total Number of Tablets TakenDay 1 up to Day 112 (approximately 4 weeks for titration period and 12 weeks for the maintenance period)

Data based on drug accountability data from the case report forms. Data is based on the number of enrolled participants in each treatment period. All participants entering maintenance period finished titration period. Study was terminated early by Sponsor due to a change in the FDA postmarketing requirement. The study was not terminated for safety reasons.

Extent of Exposure to Oxymorphone Immediate-Release Rescue Medication: Total Daily DoseDay 1 up to Day 112 (approximately 4 weeks for titration period and 12 weeks for the maintenance period)

Data based on drug accountability data from the case report forms. Data with missing dates are included in calculation. Data is based on the number of enrolled participants in each treatment period. Two (2) participants did not use Oxymorphone IR as rescue medication in the Titration period. Therefore, 25 out of 27 participants were analyzed for this outcome measure. All participants entering maintenance period finished titration period. Study was terminated early by Sponsor due to a change in the FDA postmarketing requirement. The study was not terminated for safety reasons.

Extent of Exposure to Oxymorphone Immediate-Release Rescue Medication: Total Number of DosesDay 1 up to Day 112 (approximately 4 weeks for titration period and 12 weeks for the maintenance period)

Total number of doses (Tablets) taken by participants. Data based on drug accountability data from the case report forms. Data with missing dates are included in calculation. Data is based on the number of enrolled participants in each treatment period. Two (2) participants did not use Oxymorphone IR as rescue medication in the Titration period. Therefore, 25 out of 27 participants were analyzed for this outcome measure. All participants entering maintenance period finished titration period. Study was terminated early by Sponsor due to a change in the FDA postmarketing requirement. The study was not terminated for safety reasons.
