Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy Study of Osmotic Release Oral System (OROS) Hydromorphone in Participants With Cancer Pain (NCT NCT01648699)

NCT ID: NCT01648699

Last Updated: 2013-10-11

Results Overview

The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) assesses the severity of pain and the impact of pain on daily functions (interference items). The severity items are scored from 0=no pain and 10=pain as bad as you can imagine. The interference items are scored from 0=no interference and 10=interferes completely.

Measure
Osmotic Release Oral System (OROS) Hydromorphone
Osmotic Release Oral System (OROS) Hydromorphone was administered as either 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 36 or 40 milligram (mg) oral tablet once daily in the morning. For all participants, 24-hour stable opioid dose (of either morphine or oxycodone) was converted to a single daily dose of OROS hydromorphone using standard equi-analgesic ratios and was increased if needed, but not more frequently than every two days and not more than 40 mg. The study drug was administered up to 28 days.

Timeframe: Day 28

Population: ITT population included all participants who received at least one dose of study medication at Baseline. 'N ' (number of participants analyzed) signifies the participants evaluable for this measure.

Rescue medication was a medication intended to relieve symptoms immediately. Rescue medication of morphine was used during the study duration and dose was set at 10-15 percent of the total daily morphine dose which ranged from 10-60 milligram.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 28

Population: ITT population included all participants who received at least one dose of study medication at Baseline. "n" signifies those participants who were evaluated for this measure at the specified time point. 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies those participants who were evaluable for this measure.

The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) rating scale is a 7-point global assessment that measures the clinician's impression of the severity of illness exhibited by a participant, which ranges from "very much worse" to "very much improved" (as compared to Baseline).
