About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Active- and Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Multiple Doses of CG5503 Immediate Release Formulation in Subjects Awaiting Primary Joint Replacement Surgery for End-Stage Joint Disease

The purpose of this study is to evaluate in patients who are eligible for elective primary total or partial joint replacement of the hip or knee due to chronic osteoarthritis the efficacy (level of pain control) of CG5503 over 5 and 10 days compared with placebo, and to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of CG5503 IR patients.

Read the detailed description

CG5503 is a centrally active pain-relieving drug being investigated for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. This study was designed to assess the safety and tolerability of CG5503 IR in patients who need joint replacement of the hip or knee due to chronic osteoarthritis. This is a double-blind study, i.e., neither patients nor investigators will know what treatment is given. Before the start of the 10 day double-blind phase, each patient will be screened for eligibility and eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive either CG5503 IR, oxycodone IR, or placebo (i.e., no active drug). All patients will take their treatment by mouth every 4 to 6 hours during waking hours. A total of 60 doses (up to 6 doses per day) of study treatment will be provided for each patient during the 10-day treatment phase. The study treatment will be dispensed on Day 1, and patients will take the first dose in the evening of the same day. The effectiveness of study treatment (CG5503 IR, oxycodone, or placebo) will be assessed using several measures, including 11 Point Pain Numerical Rating Scale, 5-Point Relief Numerical Rating Scale, and Patient Global Impression of Change. Using these scales, patients will indicate their pain intensity level, pain relief level, and overall status of their well-being. Safety and tolerability will be assessed using physical examination, monitoring of adverse events, clinical and laboratory measures, and 12 lead ECG results. The null hypothesis for the study is that all CG5503 IR dosage efficacy results are equal to placebo based on the 5-day SPID in the treatment of chronic pain caused by osteoarthritis. The alternative study hypothesis is that at least 1 CG5503 IR dose effect will be different from placebo effect. CG5503 IR 50 mg, 75 mg of the base, 10 mg oxycodone or placebo for 10 days taken by mouth every 4 to 6 hours during waking hours. Patients randomized to CG5503 IR 75 mg group will receive CG5503 IR 50 mg on Day 1 and 75 mg on Day 2 to 10. All doses of study treatment should be taken with approximately 120 mL of water with or with food.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary efficacy outcome is the SPID (Sum of Pain Intensity Difference) calculated at 5 days.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary efficacy outcomes include, among others, the time to the first use of rescue medication, the distribution of responder rates, and the SPID over 2 and 10 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing CG5503 IR; tapentadol in people with Osteoarthritis and Pain Assessment, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary efficacy outcome is the SPID (Sum of Pain Intensity Difference) calculated at 5 days.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jun 2011.
