About this study

Official title: Extended-Release (ER) and Long-Acting (LA) Opioid Analgesics Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS): RADARS® System Surveillance Protocol

To conduct surveillance for abuse, misuse, overdose, addiction, and death and to evaluate if the REMS meets its surveillance goals, and if it does not, to modify it appropriately based on the metrics. Briefly, therefore, the overall surveillance objective is to evaluate for trends before and after the shared REMS is implemented to collectively assess for changes in abuse, misuse, overdose, addiction, and death for different risk groups and settings.

Being tested
Researched Abuse, Diversion and Addiction-Related Surveillance (RADARS) System of post-marketing surveillance of prescription medication abuse, misuse, and diversion

What is being measured

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

  1. Poisson regression will be used to compare changes in rates of abuse, misuse, overdose, and death and other outcomes over time within the ER/LA opioid group to changes in rates among the comparator groups

    Measured: Review over period from January 2010 to December 2016

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mean number of dosing units per prescriptions dispensed across time for the ER/LA REMS drug group

    Measured: Review over period from January 2010 to December 2016

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Opioid-related Disorders and Opioid Addiction, run by ER/LA Opioid REMS Program Companies (RPC).

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Aug 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Poisson regression will be used to compare changes in rates of abuse, misuse, overdose, and death and other outcomes over time within the ER/LA opioid group to changes in rates among the comparator groups (time frame: Review over period from January 2010 to December 2016). 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 25 Aug 2016.
