About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, 2-Period, 2-Treatment, 2-Way Crossover Study Comparing the Bioavailability of a Morphine Sulfate Sustained Release Capsule 1 x 200mg to KADIAN 2 x 100mg Capsules Administered Orally as a Sprinkle on Applesauce

The objective of this single-dose, open-label, randomized, two-period crossover study was to compare the rate of absorption and oral bioavailability of a test formulation of morphine sulfate 200 mg sustained-release capsules manufactured by Alpharma Branded Products Division Inc. to an equivalent oral dose of the commercially available reference product, KADIAN 2 x 100 mg capsules manufactured by Alpharma Branded Products Division Inc. when administered as a sprinkle on applesauce after a 10-hour overnight fast.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing morphine sulfate sustained-release capsules and KADIAN (morphine sulfate sustained-release) capsules in people with Healthy, run by Actavis Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 14 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 17 Aug 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Sep 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Maximum Plasma Morphine Concentration (time frame: 2,4,6,6.5,7,7.5,8,8.5,9,9.5,10,12,18,24,30,36,48 hrs post dose). 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 17 Aug 2010.
