About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Parallel Group Multicentre Study to Demonstrate Non-inferiority of the Analgesic Efficacy of Oxycodone/Naloxone 10/5 or 20/10 mg Prolonged Release Tablets (OXN PR) BID Compared to Oxycodone 10 or 20 mg Prolonged Release Tablets (OXY PR) BID in Subjects With Postoperative Pain After Knee Arthroplasty

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that treatment with OXN PR tablets is non inferior to treatment with OXY PR tablets in terms of analgesic efficacy in patients with postoperative pain after knee arthroplasty based on average pain intensity scores.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean of 4 NRS Scores for 24 Hour Pain Intensity at Rest, Shown as Absolute Change From Baseline (i.e. a Decrease From the Baseline Value)

    The primary efficacy variable was the 24hr pain intensity score at rest, on a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), with "0" = "no pain" and "10" = "worst possible pain". This was assessed 1 hour after dosing on Day 1 (evening only), Day 2(morning and evening) and Day 3 (morning only). The primary efficacy end point (absolute change from baseline) was analysed on the per protocol (PP) data. The mean of these scores is shown as a value that is a mean change (a decrease in pain score) from the baseline value.

    Measured: Mean of 24 hour pain intensity (absolute change from baseline)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mean Dose (mg) of Rescue Analgesia for the Treatment Phase for Subjects Taking 20/10mg OXN PR Tablets or 20mg OXY PR Tablets

    To compare the use of rescue analgesia for the 2 groups (OXN 20/10mg tablets and OXY 20mg tablets) during the double blind treatment phase. Rescue medication was given (OXY Immediate Release, 5mg capsules) if the subjects pain score on the (Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain)), was greater than or equal to 4. The value presented is the mean dose over the double blind phase.

    Measured: Mean dose during the whole double blind treatment phase (2.5 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Oxycodone/Naloxone PR 20/10mg or 10/5mg tablets and Oxycodone in people with Post Operative Pain, run by Mundipharma Oy at 1 site in Finland.

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 10 inclusion and 19 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 16 Feb 2012. 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 Finland. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 16 Feb 2012). 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?

Mean of 4 NRS Scores for 24 Hour Pain Intensity at Rest, Shown as Absolute Change From Baseline (i.e. a Decrease From the Baseline Value) (time frame: Mean of 24 hour pain intensity (absolute change from baseline)). 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 16 Feb 2012.
