Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dose conversion from hydrocodone/ acetaminophen (Vicodin®) to the buprenorphine transdermal system (Butrans™) in subjects with osteoarthritis pain of the hip or knee. The double-blind treatment intervention duration is 2 weeks during which time supplemental analgesic medication will be allowed.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
