About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Single-Dose Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics of the Hydrocodone Bitartrate Extended-Release Tablet (45 mg) in Subjects With Normal Renal Function and Subjects With Varying Degrees of Renal Impairment

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of varying degrees of renal impairment (mild, moderate, severe and end stage renal disease) compared with subjects with normal renal function on the pharmacokinetics of the hydrocodone bitartrate extended-release tablet.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, open-label, parallel-group pharmacokinetic and safety study to assess the effect of varying degrees of renal impairment (mild, moderate, severe and end stage renal disease [ESRD])on the pharmacokinetics of the hydrocodone bitartrate extended-release tablet at a single dose of 45 mg as compared with subjects with normal renal function. The study consists of a screening visit within 28 days before study drug administration (visit 1), followed by a single-dose administration period including a 144-hour pharmacokinetic sampling period (visit 2) with a final assessment after the final pharmacokinetic sample is collected or upon early withdrawal, and a follow-up visit 48 to 72 hours after the last discharge from the study center (visit 3). Subjects will be categorized into either the control group with normal renal function or one of the four groups of subjects with varying degrees of renal impairment. Up to 12 subjects in each of the 4 renal impairment groups and up to 16 subjects with normal renal function will be enrolled to achieve the targeted minimum of 8 subjects in each renal impairment group and 10 subjects with normal renal function completing the study. Eligible subjects will check in to the study center on day -1. Subjects who continue to meet the criteria for enrollment will receive a single dose of the hydrocodone bitartrate extended-release tablet on day 1. Subjects will receive one 50-mg tablet of naltrexone hydrochloride to block opioid receptors and minimize opioid related adverse events approximately 15 and 3 hours before and approximately 9 and 21 hours after study drug administration. Blood and urine samples will be collected just before study drug administration and over a 144-hour period after study drug administration. Safety will be assessed throughout the study by monitoring the occurrence of adverse events, clinical laboratory test results, vital signs measurements,12-lead ECG findings, physical examination findings, SpO2 findings, and use of concomitant medications. Subjects who complete all scheduled visits will have final procedures and assessments performed prior to discharge from the study center after pharmacokinetic sampling is complete. All subjects will be asked to return for a follow-up visit.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum observed plasma drug concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Between baseline and 144 hours following drug administration

  2. Area under the plasma drug concentration-by-time curve (AUC) from time 0 to infinity (AUC0-∞)

    Measured: Between baseline and 144 hours following drug administration

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assess the safety of a single 45-mg dose of the hydrocodone bitartrate extended release tablet

    by evaluating the following:

    • occurrence of adverse events throughout the study
    • clinical laboratory (serum chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis) test results at final assessment or early withdrawal
    • vital signs measurements (blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory rate) throughout the study
    • 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) findings at final assessment or early withdrawal
    • physical examination findings at final assessment or early withdrawal
    • oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2) monitoring throughout the study
    • concomitant medication usage throughout the study

    Measured: Safety will be assessed from the start of study drug administration through the follow-up visit 48 to 72 hours after discharge from the study center.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Hydrocodone Bitartrate extended-release tablet in people with Renal Impairment, run by Cephalon at 4 sites 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 17 inclusion and 18 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 24 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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?

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?

Maximum observed plasma drug concentration (Cmax) (time frame: Between baseline and 144 hours following drug administration). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Apr 2012.
