研究概览
简要总结
The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of NAL ER on 24-hour cough frequency using objective digital cough monitoring and to assess safety and tolerability of NAL ER.
详细描述
This is a multi-center randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, 4-arm study.
After meeting eligibility during the Screening Period, subjects will be randomized (1:1:1:1) to one of four treatment arms.
- Arm 1: Placebo
- Arm 2: 27 mg nalbuphine ER
- Arm 3: 54 mg nalbuphine ER
- Arm 4: 108 mg nalbuphine ER
Each arm will be titrated to their fixed dose during the blinded 2-week Titration period according to Table: Dosing Scheme, followed by the 4-week Fixed Dose Period for a total of 6 weeks on drug.
Subjects will be taken off study drug at the end of the Fixed Dose Period and followed off treatment for an additional 2 weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
Relative Change From Baseline in 24-hour Cough Frequency at Week 6
时间窗: Baseline, Week 6
Relative change in 24-hour (combined daytime and nighttime) cough frequency (coughs per hour) from baseline was assessed. Assessment was done using objective digital cough monitoring. The relative change from baseline = \[ (Post-baseline - Baseline) / Baseline\] × 100. The baseline value was defined as the last non-missing observation prior to the date of the first dose of study.
