Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who have chronic cancer pain, and who have successfully completed the OROS hydromorphone SR (slow release) study, DO-118
  • Patients must have been in dose-stable pain control in the last two days of the slow release phase of the study
  • Patients who require at least 8mg of OROS hydromorphone slow release every 24 hours for the management of chronic cancer pain

Who cannot join

  • Pain which is not considered to be potentially responsive to opioids
  • Gastrointestinal disease of sufficient severity to be likely to interfere with oral analgesia including: dysphagia, vomiting, no bowel movement or bowel obstruction due to impaction within the 5 days prior to the start of the trial, severe gut narrowing that may affect the absorption or transit of orally administered drugs, particularly the insoluble OROS outer coating
  • Any patient in whom the risks of treatment with hydromorphone outweigh the potential benefits. Such risk categories include: raised intracranial pressure, hypotension, hypothyroidism, asthma, reduced respiratory reserve, prostatic hypertrophy, hepatic impairment, renal impairment, elderly and debilitated, convulsive disorders and Addison's disease

About this study

Official title: Safety and Tolerability of Long-Term Administration of Dilaudid SR (Hydromorphone HCI) in Cancer Pain

The primary purpose of this study was to characterize the pain control achieved with long-term repeated dosing of OROS hydromorphone (slow release) in patients with chronic cancer pain and the secondary purpose was to characterize the effects of pain on the patients' quality of life with long-term, repeated dosing of OROS hydromorphone (slow release) taken by patients with chronic cancer pain.

Read the detailed description

Study DO-118X was a phase-3, multicenter, open-label extension study in adult patients with cancer pain who had successfully completed Study DO-118 with dose-stable pain control taking at least 8 mg of OROS hydromorphone (slow release) or its equivalent morphine sulfate SR (slow release) dosage. Patients were started on the dose of OROS hydromorphone equivalent to the opioid dose on which they had achieved dose-stable pain control in the SR (slow release) phase of Study DO-118. Patients returned to their study clinic once a month for 1 year. Dosage adjustments to study medications and breakthrough pain medication were permitted. OROS hydromorphone HCI (slow release) tablets in 8, 16, 32 and 64mg doses administered orally every 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing OROS hydromorphone HCI (slow release) in people with Analgesics, Opioid and Pain, run by Alza Corporation, DE, USA.

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 27 Apr 2010. 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?

Study results indicated that long-term treatment with OROS hydromorphone can be useful in the management of persistent, moderate-to-severe chronic pain in patients with cancer. 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 27 Apr 2010.
