Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a single-center study incorporating 2 parts: A Multiple Ascending Dose Study (Part A) and a comparative Bioavailability/Bioequivalence and Food Effect study (Part B). Both parts of the study will be conducted in healthy adult subjects.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

This study is intended to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of OxyContin (oxycodone ER) and PF614, as well as PF614 fragments, following administration of multiple ascending doses of PF614, and to compare to steady-state pharmacokinetics to those of OxyContin. (Part A)

In addition, oral bioavailability of oxycodone derived from single doses of PF614 of the to-be-marketed capsule formulation will be compared to that of the reference drug, OxyContin, in the fasted and fed condition. A pivotal food effect assessment will be incorporated into the study to determine the impact of a high fat meal on the bioavailability of oxycodone, following oral single-dose administration of PF614 (Part B).

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: PF614

Part A will utilize a randomized, open-label, multiple-ascending dose design with up to 3 separate dose groups of 8 subjects. Within each dose group, subjects will be randomized to receive repeated BID doses, planned to be 12 hours apart over a 5 day period, for a total of 9 doses. Dose escalation to Dose Groups 2 and 3 will follow a review of pharmacokinetic, safety and tolerability data up to Day 10 of the preceding group. The doses or dosing regimen for Dose groups 2 and 3 may be modified based on a review of the data.
