A Study to Determine the Fasting Bioequivalence of Reformulated OXY Tablets and Original OxyContin® (OXY) Tablets

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Healthy Volunteers
Interventions
Drug: Reformulated OXY (oxycodone HCl)
Drug: Original OxyContin® (OXY) (oxycodone HCl)
Registration Number
NCT01100086
Lead Sponsor
Purdue Pharma LP
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence of a new oxycodone formulation (10 mg) relative to the original OxyContin® (OXY) formulation (10 mg) in the fasted state.

Detailed Description

Oxycodone hydrochloride (oxycodone) is a semi-synthetic opioid analgesic that is effective in the relief of moderate to severe malignant and non-malignant pain.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cmax - Maximum Observed Plasma ConcentrationBlood samples collected over 72-hour period

Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration and bioequivalence is based on Cmax.

AUC0-inf - Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (Extrapolated)Blood samples collected over 72-hour period

AUC0-inf is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (extrapolated) and bioequivalence is based on AUC0-inf.

AUC0-t - Area Under Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Time of Last Non-zero Plasma ConcentrationBlood samples collected over 72-hour period

AUC0-t is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time of last non-zero plasma concentration and bioequivalence is based on AUC0-t.
