Randomized, Open-Label, Comparative Parallel Group Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety on Flexible Dosages of OROS Hydromorphone Once-Daily Compared to Sustained Release Oxycodone Twice Daily in Subjects With Chronic Non-malignant Pain Requiring Continuous Opioid Therapy.
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating OROS hydromorphone HCl and Oxycodone for Pain. Completed, enrolled 504 participants across 52 sites in 10 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of sustained- release hydromorphone, formulated to release slowly over time, taken once daily, and controlled- release oxycodone taken twice daily, in patients with chronic non-cancer pain. The study will also determine the dose of sustained-release hydromorphone that provides a level of pain control that is equal to the pain control provided by control-released oxycodone (equi-analgesic dosage).
