A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Period, Crossover Study to Establish the Dose Equivalence and Direct Conversion Between Immediate Release (IR) and Extended-Release (ER) CG5503 in Subjects With Moderate-to-Severe, Chronic Low Back Pain
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating tapentadol (CG5503) Immediate Release IR, tapentadol (CG5503) Extended Release (ER), and 1 other intervention for Low Back Pain. Completed, enrolled 117 participants.
Detailed Summary
The objective of this study is to test the idea that the immediate-release (IR) form of tapentadol (CG5503) can be directly converted into an approximately equivalent total daily dose (TDD) of the extended-release (ER) form, and vice-versa, with equivalent safety and efficacy.

Interventions
21 day Open Label: an adjustable dose of Tapentadol IR 50-100mg orally every 4-6 hours to maximum total daily dose (TDD) dose of 500 mg during open label period
During 2 double blind periods: Tapentadol ER 100, 150, 200 or 250 mg tablets twice daily in the first intervention period of double-blind phase and Tapentadol IR in the second or Tapentadol IR in first intervention period of double-blind phase and Tapentadol ER in second
Following open label period is 2 double blind periods: Tapentadol IR in first intervention period of double-blind phase and Tapentadol ER 100, 150, 200 or 250 mg tablets twice daily in second or Tapentadol ER in first intervention period of double-blind phase and Tapentadol IR in second
