Study Details

Study Description

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.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Reformulated OXY (oxycodone HCl)
  • Drug: Original OxyContin® (OXY) (oxycodone HCl)
Phase 1

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Cmax - Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration [Blood samples collected over 72-hour period]

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

  2. 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.

  3. AUC0-t - Area Under Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Time of Last Non-zero Plasma Concentration [Blood 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.
