Summary
The primary objective of this study was to examine the OROS® Hydromorphone HCL
pharmacokinetic (the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) profile
for dose proportionality after administration of 8mg, 16mg, 32mg and 64 mg tablets.
Clinical Details
Official title: An Open Label Evaluation of the Dose Proportionality of Dilaudid SR (OROS® Hydromorphone HCL) Tablets 8mg, 16mg, 32mg, and 64mg
Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Crossover Assignment, Pharmacokinetics Study
Primary outcome: The primary endpoints for the statistical evaluations of the study drug were: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from 0 to Infinity, Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from 0 to time t and Peak Plasma Concentration.
Secondary outcome: The secondary endpoints were the pharmacokinetic parameters for the study drug: Time to Peak Plasma Concentration and Terminal half-life.
Detailed description:
This was a randomized (patients are assigned different treatments based on chance),
open-label, four-way crossover study performed in normal, healthy adult patients. Each
patient received the following orally administered treatments of OROS® Hydromorphone HCL (a
different treatment during each dosing phase): Treatment A: 8mg; Treatment B: 16mg;
Treatment C: 32mg; Treatment D: 64mg; A naltrexone 50mg dose was administered 12 hours prior
to, at the time of, and 12 after study drug administration; Patients received a fourth dose
of naltrexone 50mg 24 hours after the 64mg study drug administration. There was a 7-day
washout period between study drug dosing phases. Venous blood sampling times were 0 (prior to
dosing), 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48 hours after each study drug
administration. Three additional blood samples (at 56, 64, and 72 hours after dosing of
study drug) were drawn from those patients receiving the 64 mg tablets; LC/MS/MS (Liquid
Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy/Mass Spectroscopy) techniques were employed for the analysis
of plasma hydromorphone concentrations. The primary endpoints of interest were: Area under the
concentration-time curve from zero to infinity; Area under the concentration-time curve from
zero to time t; Peak plasma concentration; the secondary endpoint parameters were: Time to
peak plasma concentration; Terminal half-life.
OROS hydromorphone HCL tablets of 8mg, 16mg, 32mg, and 64mg were given orally, a different
dosing treatment during each dosing phase. One naltrexone HCL 50mg tablet was given orally
12 hours prior to, at the time of, and 12 hours after hydromorphone administration during
each dosing phase. Patient received a fourth dose of naltrexone 50mg 24 hours following the
64mg study drug adminstration; It was a four week treatment and there was a seven-day
washout period between dosing phases.
