Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate bioequivalence (biological equivalence of two formulations of a study medication) of a new tapentadol Extended release (ER) 100 mg tamper-resistant formulation (TRF) tablet, to the current tapentadol ER 100 mg, prolonged-release formulation 2 (PR2) tablet used in healthy participants under fasted (without food) conditions.

Detailed Description

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

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), randomized (the study medication is assigned by chance), 2-way crossover (method used to switch participants from one treatment arm to another in a clinical study), single-dose, and single-center study. The study consists of 3 phases: the screening phase, treatment phase, and end-of-study or withdrawal assessment phase. In the treatment phase, participants will receive a single dose of new tapentadol ER 100-mg TRF tablet (Treatment A) and current tapentadol ER 100-mg PR2 (Treatment B) under fasted conditions in 2 treatment sequences (AB and BA). Administration of the study medication will be separated by a washout period (no treatment) of 7 to14 days. Approximately 64 participants will be enrolled in this study. Safety will be evaluated by the assessment of adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, vital signs, and physical examination. The duration of participation in the study for an individual participant will be approximately 5.5 weeks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment Sequence AB

Participants will receive single dose of new tapentadol Extended Release (ER) Tamper-Resistant Formulation (TRF) tablet and later, participants will receive single dose of current tapentadol prolonged-release formulation 2 (PR2) tablet without food. Administration of the study medications will be separated by a washout period (no treatment) of 7 to 14 days.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tapentadol Extended Release (ER) Tamper-Resistant Formulation (TRF)

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants will receive a single dose of tapentadol ER TRF 100 mg tablet orally (by mouth) in treatment sequences AB and BA appropriately.

Tapentadol Prolonged-Release Formulation 2 (PR2)

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants will receive a single dose of tapentadol PR2 100 mg tablet orally in treatment sequences AB and BA appropriately.

Treatment Sequence BA

Participants will receive single dose of current tapentadol PR2 tablet and later, participants will receive single dose of new tapentadol ER TRF tablet without food. Administration of the study medication will be separated by a washout period of 7 to 14 days.
