Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Abuse Potential of Oxymorphone Compared to Other Mu Opioid Agonists. (NCT NCT03389750)

NCT ID: NCT03389750

Last Updated: 2023-09-07

Results Overview

The positive subjective effects of the most efficacious dose of the intravenous challenge drugs. These are measured using self-reported assessment by the participant in terms of drug "liking" rated on a visual analog scale of 0-100. Higher values indicate a greater drug effect.

Participant Flow

This investigation was a within-subjects design. The participants were presented with the following drugs/doses in randomized order: Oxymorphone (1.8, 3.2, 5.6, and 10 mg/70 kg) Oxycodone (10, 18, 32, 56 mg/70 kg) Hydromorphone (3.2, 5.6, 10, and 18 mg/70 kg) Placebo (0 mg). Data are only presented for individuals who received all 13 dose conditions (i.e., N=8).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Throughout study enrollment period (8-9 weeks)

Population: The most robust self-reported drug "Liking" across the various dose of each IV drug (Scale: 0-100). These data are reported only for study completers (i.e., those individuals who experienced all 13 drug \& dose drug conditions). Higher values indicate a greater drug effect.

The positive subjective effects of the most efficacious dose of the intravenous challenge drugs. These are measured using self-reported assessment by the participant in terms of drug "liking" rated on a visual analog scale of 0-100. Higher values indicate a greater drug effect.
