Read the detailed description

Study Design (Methodology):

This will be a multicenter, phase IV, interventional study to assess the efficacy and safety of TARGIN(R)(Oxycodone/Naloxone) in Korean patients who are dissatisfied with their current analgesic medication (WHO step II analgesics).

Upon providing written informed consent, subject will be screened in the study and assessment will be performed at that time such as safety laboratory assessments, physical examination, vital sign, medical history taking, 24 hours pain intensity score, EQ-5D, physician's overall satisfaction and subject's overall satisfaction. If patient is eligible in inclusion/exclusion criteria at the time of visit 1, the patient will receive treatment with TARGIN(R). Re-screening, study drug dose interruption is not allowed. The duration of study drug dose interruption is defined as for 1 week.

Treatment with TARGIN(R) will be started at 5/2.5mg b.i.d.,and proper titration (up titration) will be allowed at each visit or at unscheduled visit according to the investigator's decision. On-site visit or phone call will be allowed for visit 2(wk 1).The up titration will be considered by investigator's judgement as followings; (1) if the rescue medication was used more than 2 times per day, on average or (2) based on the daily average numerical rating scale

, if the numerical rating scale was changed to worsen since the previous visit, (3) Investigator's judgement by considering any titration needed situation (e.g. dose, frequency of rescue medication). Pain assessment by investigator at each visit will be used for analysis and criteria for uptitration. Daily pain diary will be used for only criteria for uptitration.

Safety laboratories will be obtained at baseline (visit 1) and study end (visit 4) in a local laboratory. The laboratory values within 4 weeks prior to baseline (visit 1) will be allowed to use at study visit 1.

The rescue medication is the IRcodon(R).

Patients will be withdrawn from the study if the following circumstance require study drug discontinuation:

  • Failure of pain control (Failure of pain control will be decided by investigators judgement, e.g. there is poor pain control or lack of efficacy despite 2~3 times of titration.)
  • Adjustment of the other analgesics due to Adverse event except TARGIN(R) or IRcodon(R)
  • Adjustment of the other major pain management modality (e.g. surgery, non-surgical interventional therapy, etc.)
  • Withdrawal of informed consent
  • Pregnancy
  • Any other significant risk to the patient's safety in the clinical judgement of the investigator

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Pain Intensity of Patient With Spinal Disorder as Measured by NRS.

    NRS-Pain scale assessed the severity of a subject's pain of mean pain over the past 24 hours prior to the visit on a scale of 0 (No pain) and 10 (Worst possible pain).

    Change = mean score at Week 8/ET minus mean score at Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, 8 week

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The Change in Quality of Life (EQ-5D) at Week 8 of Treatment With the Study Drug From Baseline

    EQ-5D to measure of health related quality of life should be answered as one of 3 levels about current condition for 5 dimensions and was calculated total average by giving a weighting on 3 level of answers (EQ-5D levels into 'no problems' (level 1) and 'problems' (level 2 and 3)).

    Table of scores by each level for EQ-5D items: mobility(level 1=0, level2=0.069,level 3=0.314), self care(level 1=0, level2=0.104,level 3=0.214), usual activities(level 1=0, level2=0.036,level 3=0.094), pain/discomfort (level 1=0, level2=0.,level 3=0.386) and anxiety/depression(level 1=0, level2=0.071,level 3=0.2)

    *EQ-5D Total = 1 - 0.081 - (the score of the each level) - 0.269 (if at least one of level 3 presents)

    EQ-5D total score could be 0.919 in maximum and -0.594 in minimum if case all index indicates the level 3. So, if EQ-5D total score closed by "1" means that the healthy condition and high quality of life.

    Measured: Baseline, 8 week

  2. Clinical Global Impression of Change(CGIC)

    The number of patients who choose the best opinion of overall satisfaction among Clinical Global Impression of Change Scale(CGIC) among 7 point scale. Missing data was imputed by LOCF.

    Very much improved much improved minimally improved no change minimally worse much worse very much worse

    Measured: Baseline, 8 week

  3. Change of Pain Intensity in Patient With Spinal Disorder at Week 4 of Treatment With the Study Drug From Baseline

    NRS-Pain scale assessed the severity of a subject's pain of mean pain over the past 24 hours prior to the visit on a scale of 0 (No pain) and 10 (Worst possible pain).

    Change = mean score at Week 4/ET minus mean score at Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 week

  4. Change From Baseline in Health-related Quality of Life Assessed by EuroQol Visual Analog Scale (EQ-5D VAS)

    The EQ VAS records the respondent's self-rated health on a vertical, visual analogue scale where the endpoints are labelled 'Best imaginable health state' (score = 100) and 'Worst imaginable health state' (score = 0). Higher points were positive results and positive points of difference gap means improvement results.

    Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks

  5. Patient Global Impression of Change(PGIC)

    Number of participants with categorical change in overall satisfaction. PGIC: a participant-rated instrument assessing change in participant's overall satisfaction from baseline, on a scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).

    Measured: Baseline, 8week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Oxycodone/naloxone in people with Spinal Disorders, run by Mundipharma Korea Ltd.

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 6 inclusion and 28 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 12 May 2016. 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 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 12 May 2016). 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?

Change From Baseline in Pain Intensity of Patient With Spinal Disorder as Measured by NRS. (time frame: Baseline, 8 week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01811238, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 May 2016.
