About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, Open-Label, Randomized, 2-Way Crossover Pivotal Study to Assess Bioequivalence of a New Tapentadol Extended-Release (TRF) 100-mg Tablet With Respect to a Tapentadol Extended-Release (PR2) 100-mg Tablet Under Fasted Conditions in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate bioequivalence (biological equivalence of two formulations of a study medication) of a new tapentadol Extended release (ER) 100 mg tamper-resistant formulation (TRF) tablet, to the current tapentadol ER 100 mg, prolonged-release formulation 2 (PR2) tablet used in healthy participants under fasted (without food) conditions.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), randomized (the study medication is assigned by chance), 2-way crossover (method used to switch participants from one treatment arm to another in a clinical study), single-dose, and single-center study. The study consists of 3 phases: the screening phase, treatment phase, and end-of-study or withdrawal assessment phase. In the treatment phase, participants will receive a single dose of new tapentadol ER 100-mg TRF tablet (Treatment A) and current tapentadol ER 100-mg PR2 (Treatment B) under fasted conditions in 2 treatment sequences (AB and BA). Administration of the study medication will be separated by a washout period (no treatment) of 7 to14 days. Approximately 64 participants will be enrolled in this study. Safety will be evaluated by the assessment of adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, vital signs, and physical examination. The duration of participation in the study for an individual participant will be approximately 5.5 weeks.

  3. Area under the serum concentration-time curve of tapentadol from time 0 to the time of the last quantifiable concentration

    Measured: Predose; 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose (at each single-dose of study medication

  4. Area under the serum concentration-time curve of tapentadol from time 0 to infinite time

    Measured: Predose; 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose (at each single-dose of study medication

  5. Percentage of area under the serum concentration-time curve of tapentadol from time 0 to infinite time

    Measured: Predose; 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose (at each single-dose of study medication

  6. Elimination half-life associated with the terminal slope of the semilogarithmic tapentadol concentration-time curve

    Measured: Predose; 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose (at each single-dose of study medication

  7. First-order rate constant associated with the terminal portion of tapentadol concentration curve

    Measured: Predose; 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose (at each single-dose of study medication

  8. Time to last quantifiable serum concentration of tapentadol

    Measured: Predose; 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose (at each single-dose of study medication

  9. Number of participants with adverse events

    Measured: Up to end-of-study (Day 3 of last single-dose of study medication)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tapentadol Extended Release (ER) Tamper-Resistant Formulation (TRF) and Tapentadol Prolonged-Release Formulation 2 (PR2) in people with Healthy, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C. at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 Dec 2013. 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 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 serum concentration of tapentadol (time frame: Predose; 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose (at each single-dose of study medication)). The study lists 9 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 Dec 2013.
