About this study

Official title: A Single Dose PK Study of BTDS 5, 10, and 20 in Chinese Osteoarthritis Patients

This is a single center, open label, randomized, parallel group single dose pharmacokinetic (PK) study.

Read the detailed description

After up to 7-day screening period, Eligible Patients will be randomized to 1 of 3 treatment groups, and begin treatment with BTDS 5mg, 10mg,20mg for 7 days.Venous blood will be collected at 0, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96,120, 144,168,169,170,171,172,174,180,192,216, 240 h postdose respectively.Plasma concentrations of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine will be analyzed to determine the following pharmacokinetic parameters: AUC0-t, AUC0-inf, Cmax, Tmax, t½.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • buprenorphineDrug

    Also called Norspan

    The subjects will be randomized to receive either a single dose of BTDS 5, or BTDS 10, or BTDS 20 for 7 days. Plasma concentrations of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine will be analyzed to determine the following pharmacokinetic parameters: AUC0-t:pg•hr/ml-Area under the plasma concentration-time curve frame: predose,6,12,24,36,48,60,72,96,120,144,168,169,170,171,172,174,180,192,216,240 hours post-dose.AUC0-inf:pg•hr/ml-Area under the plasma concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity. Cmax: pg/ml-Maximum observed plasma buprenorphine concentration. Tmax: hrs-time at which Cmax is first observed. t½: Apparent half life of buprenorphine elimination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing buprenorphine in people with Osteoarthritis Disorders, run by Mundipharma (China) Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 20 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 8 Jul 2015. 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 China. 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?

Area Under Curve (AUC) (time frame: Pre-dose, 6hr, 12hr, 24hr, 36hr, 48hr, 60hr, 72hr, 96hr, 120hr, 144hr,168hr, 169hr, 170hr, 171hr, 172hr, 174hr, 180hr, 192hr, 216hr, 240hr 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 8 Jul 2015.
