What is being measured

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

  1. The Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety.

    Safety assessments consisted of reports of AEs, physical examinations, clinical laboratory test results, vital signs measurements, pulse oximetry (SpO2), and somnolence assessments. Safety variables were summarized descriptively within age group for the safety population.

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks (during the study) and 7-10 days poststudy (safety follow-up assessment).

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Pain Right Now Assessment by Patients Aged 6 to < 12 Years

    Pain right now was assessed by patients aged 6 to <12 years using the Faces of Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R). The FPS-R is a horizontal row of 6 faces representing pain intensity, with "no hurt" at the far left and "hurts worst" at the far right; the 6 intensities are scored as 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 (the patient was not shown the numbers associated with the faces). A score of 0 means no pain, and a 10 means very much pain. Pain right now was assessed by the patient at screening; after the first dose; and, thereafter, twice daily during the AM and PM, approximately at the time of each (morning and evening) dose of oxycodone HCl CR tablets during the study treatment.

    Measured: Baseline to week 4

  2. Pain Right Now Assessment by Patients Aged ≥ 12 to ≤ 16 Years

    Pain right now was assessed by patients aged ≥ 12 to ≤ 16 years using the 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS). The 100-mm VAS is a 100-mm line with 1 end marked "no pain" and the opposite end marked as "pain as bad as it could be." The patient was asked to make a mark on that line indicating his or her level of pain. The pain right now 100-mm VAS score was defined as the distance (in mm) from the "no pain" end to the patient's mark. The scale is measured on a 100 mm line: a 0 means no pain and bigger numbers indicate more pain. Pain right now was assessed by the patient at screening; after the first dose; and, thereafter, twice daily during the AM and PM, approximately at the time of each (morning and evening) dose of oxycodone HCl CR tablets during the study treatment.

    Measured: Baseline to week 4

  3. Use of Supplemental Pain Medication

    Supplemental opioid and nonopioid pain medications were permitted during the study as deemed appropriate by the investigator. The dose of supplemental analgesic medication allowed was at the discretion of the investigator and within appropriate dose ranges for age and weight.

    Measured: Baseline to week 4

  4. Parent/ Caregiver-Assessed Global Impression of Change (PGIC)

    The PGIC rating score variable was collected on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 to 7 (where 1 = very much improved; and 7 = very much worse). The PGIC is designed to assess overall satisfaction with the treatment. The number and percent of parent/caregivers reporting each category of PGIC response at the final visit was summarized for the safety population within age group.

    Measured: Baseline to week 4 or early discontinuation

  5. Parent/ Caregiver Assessed Functional Disability Inventory (FDI) for Patients Aged 6 to < 12 Years

    The FDI is a validated tool used to evaluate the degree to which children have reduced physical and psychosocial functioning because of their pain difficulties in the previous 2 weeks. The FDI comprises 15 items. Responses to each item were scored using a 5-point Likert scale. The individual scores are: (0) no trouble, (1) a little trouble, (2) some trouble, (3) a lot of trouble, and (4) impossible. A total score (ranging from 0 to 60) for the 15 items was calculated, with lower scores indicating less functional disability. The FDI was performed by the parent/ caregiver.

    Measured: Baseline to week 4

  6. Parent/ Caregiver Assessed Functional Disability Inventory (FDI) for Patients Aged ≥ 12 to ≤ 16 Years

    The FDI is a validated tool used to evaluate the degree to which children have reduced physical and psychosocial functioning because of their pain difficulties in the previous 2 weeks. The FDI comprises 15 items. Responses to each item were scored using a 5-point Likert scale. The individual scores are: (0) no trouble, (1) a little trouble, (2) some trouble, (3) a lot of trouble, and (4) impossible. A total score (ranging from 0 to 60) for the 15 items was calculated, with lower scores indicating less functional disability. The FDI was performed by the parent/ caregiver.

    Measured: Baseline to week 4

  7. Pharmacokinetics (PK) Data of Oxycodone Hydrochloride Controlled-release Tablets

    A population PK analysis using sparse plasma concentration data in pediatric patients was conducted. Empirical Bayes estimates were used to calculate individual PK parameters. PK parameters were calculated and reported for each individual patient's first and last dose. Cmax was taken as the maximum simulated oxycodone concentration over the dosing interval and Cmin was the simulated oxycodone concentration when time was equal to 12 hours. Steady-state Cmin and Cmax were derived from the accumulation ratio.

    The following PK parameters are presented: Cmin / Cmax (minimum / maximum concentration); Cmin,ss / Cmax,ss (Cmin / Cmax at steady state); CAVGss (average concentration at steady state).

    Measured: Day 1 - first dose [2-4 hrs post dose and 4-6 hrs post dose], week 4 - last dose [at pre-dose and at 2-4 hrs post dose]

  8. Pharmacokinetics (PK) Data of Oxycodone Hydrochloride Controlled-release Tablets - AUCtau and AUCss

    A population PK analysis using sparse plasma concentration data in pediatric patients was conducted. Empirical Bayes estimates were used to calculate individual PK parameters. PK parameters were calculated and reported for each individual patient's first and last dose. First-dose area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) was derived from the accumulation ratio. For all calculations, the dosing interval was assumed to be 12 hours.

    The following PK parameters are presented: AUCtau (area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to time equal to dosing interval); AUCss (AUC at steady state).

    Measured: Day 1 - first dose [2-4 hrs post dose and 4-6 hrs post dose], week 4 - last dose [at pre-dose and at 2-4 hrs post dose]

  9. Pharmacokinetics (PK) Data of Oxycodone Hydrochloride Controlled-release Tablets - Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax)

    A population PK analysis using sparse plasma concentration data in pediatric patients was conducted. Empirical Bayes estimates were used to calculate individual PK parameters. PK parameters were calculated and reported for each individual patient's first and last dose.

    Measured: Day 1 - first dose [2-4 hrs post dose and 4-6 hrs post dose], week 4 - last dose [at pre-dose and at 2-4 hrs post dose]

  10. Pharmacokinetics (PK) Data of Oxycodone Hydrochloride Controlled-release Tablets - Accumulation Ratio

    A population PK analysis using sparse plasma concentration data in pediatric patients was conducted. Empirical Bayes estimates were used to calculate individual PK parameters. PK parameters were calculated and reported for each individual patient's first and last dose. The accumulation ratio is used to derive steady-state Cmin and Cmax and first-dose area under the concentration-time curve (AUCtau).

    Measured: Day 1 - first dose [2-4 hrs post dose and 4-6 hrs post dose], week 4 - last dose [at pre-dose and at 2-4 hrs post dose]
