Comparison of KADIAN 100 mg When Dosed With Alcohol Under Fasting and Fed Conditions Compared to Water

Registration Number
NCT00768183
Lead Sponsor
Actavis Inc.
Brief Summary

The objective of this study was to compare the single-dose relative bioavailability of Alpharma Branded Products Division Inc. (KADIAN) 100 mg morphine sulfate extended-release capsules when dosed with alcohol under fasting and fed conditions compared to water.

Detailed Description

This study was to evaluate the effect of consumming alcohol on the pharmacokie and bioavailability of Alpharma Branded Products Division Inc. (KADIAN) 100 mg morphine sulfate extended-release capsules under fasting and fed conditions.

In addition, the pharmacokinetics of an immediate release solution following a 20 mg dose was assessed for informational purposes and for possible modeling.
