About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, Open-Label, Randomized, Two-Way Crossover Study to Assess the Bioequivalence of Tapentadol Given as Two 50-mg Extended-Release, Tamper-Resistant Formulation (TRF) Tablets Relative to One 100-mg Extended-Release TRF Tablet in Healthy Japanese Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bioequivalence of a 100-mg tapentadol (CG5503) dose administered as two 50-mg ER, TRF tablets relative to one 100-mg ER TRF tablet in healthy Japanese male participants.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single-center, randomized (the study drug is assigned by chance), 2-way crossover study (participants may receive different interventions sequentially during the trial). All participants will receive a single 100-mg dose of tapentadol (CG5503) during 2 periods, in randomized order, as two 50-mg TRF tablets and one 100-mg TRF tablet. All participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 possible treatment sequences and receive both of the following treatments, 1 in each period:

Treatment A: two tapentadol (CG5503) ER 50-mg TRF tablets, administered as a single oral dose under fasted condition Treatment B: one tapentadol (CG5503) ER 100-mg TRF tablet, administered as a single oral dose under fasted condition Each period will be separated by 7 - 14 days

Being tested
tapentadol (CG5503) ER 100-mg TRF, tapentadol (CG5503) ER 50-mg TRF

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing tapentadol (CG5503) ER 100-mg TRF and tapentadol (CG5503) ER 50-mg TRF in people with Healthy Volunteer, 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 13 Mar 2012. 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 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?

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?

Pharmacokinetic profile, as measured by Cmax, tmax, AUC, t1/2, kel, AUMC and MRT (time frame: Two 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 13 Mar 2012.
