Inclusion Criteria
  • Subject has moderate to severe chronic noncancer pain (duration of at least 3 months) requiring a continuous around-the-clock opioid analgesic for an extended period of time. Conditions may include, but are not limited to, osteoarthritis, chronic low back pain, or other opioid -responsive pain conditions.
  • Subject agrees to refrain from taking opioid medications other than study drug during the study. (The exception is during the Pre-Treatment Period when the subject may continue current opioid therapy to guide first 4 weeks of the Treatment Period when the subject may administer immediate-release oxycodone to support conversion to study drug.)
Exclusion Criteria
  • Subject has moderate or severe chronic pain due to cancer, migraine, recent trauma, infection, or other pain expected to be short-term (duration less than 3 months).
  • Subject has a documented history of alcohol or drug abuse within 1 year prior to study entry that in the Investigator's judgment would impact subject participation.
  • Subject has ongoing or active alcohol or drug abuse that in the Investigator's judgment would impact subject participation.
  • Subject has a positive urine drug test for illicit drug use or medications at screening without legitimate medical explanation.
  • Subject has a clinically significant medical condition (e.g., cardiovascular, neurological, renal, hepatic, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematological, immunological, rheumatological, metabolic, or psychiatric) or physical examination, vital signs (VS), 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), clinical laboratory abnormalities that in the opinion of the Investigator would impact the safety of the subject during study participation.
  • If female, the subject is pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • Subject has a known history or known hypersensitivity to oxycodone, oxycodone salts, naltrexone or acetaminophen,or pharmacological similar compounds.
  • Subject is historically non-responsive to oxycodone treatment or requires greater than 160 mg oxycodone in a 24-hour time interval.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Adverse ReactionsBaseline up to end of study (2 weeks post-end of month 12)

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An AE that was attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug was defined as an adverse reaction. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to end of study (2 weeks post-end of month 12) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Subjective Opiate Withdrawal Scale (SOWS) ScoreBaseline, Week 1, 4, Month 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

The presence and level of clinical opiate withdrawal signs or symptoms was determined by participant-reported instrument, subjective opiate withdrawal scale (SOWS). It contains 16 symptoms of opiate withdrawal rated by the participant (anxiety, yawning, sweating, tearing, running nose, goose bumps, shaking, hot flashes, cold flashes, bone or muscle aches, restlessness, nauseous, vomiting, muscle twitch, stomach cramps and feel like using now). Each item is rated on a 5-point scale (0= not at all, 1= a little, 2= moderate, 3= quite a bit, 4= extreme). The total score is the sum of all items, ranging from 0 to 64, higher score indicated severe withdrawal.

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent (TE) Adverse Events (AEs) Based on IntensityBaseline up to end of study (2 weeks post-end of month 12)

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Intensity of adverse event was defined on the basis of severity of an event and was classified as; mild (does not interfere with participant's usual function), moderate (interferes to some extent with participant's usual function) and severe (interferes significantly with participant's usual function). Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to end of study (2 weeks post-end of month 12) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.

Percentage of Participants With Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) ScoreBaseline up to Month 12

The presence and level of clinical opiate withdrawal signs or symptoms was determined by clinician-administered, clinical opiate withdrawal scale (COWS). It contains 11 common opiate withdrawal signs or symptoms rated by clinician (resting pulse rate, gastrointestinal upset, sweating, tremor, restlessness, yawning, pupil size, anxiety or irritability, bone or joint aches, gooseflesh skin, runny nose or tearing), rated on either 3-point, 4-point or 5-point scale, higher score indicated more symptoms of withdrawal. The total score is the sum of all items, ranging from 0 to 48, higher score indicated severe withdrawal. Participants were categorized as less than mild (score 0-4) mild (score 5-12), moderate (score 13-24), moderately severe (score 25-36) or severe (score greater than 36). Percentage of participants with mild (score 5-12), moderate (score 13-24), moderately severe (score 25-36) or severe (score greater than 36) were reported.
