Filter by:The primary objective is to demonstrate that patients taking oxycodone/naloxone prolonged release tablets have improvement in symptoms of constipation compared to subjects taking oxycodone prolonged release tablets alone.
The purpose of this repeated dose study is to develop recommended dosing information for initiation of therapy with OROS Hydromorphone HCI (slow release) in patients with chronic cancer pain converting from other strong oral or transdermal opioids. It will also assist in the development of a recommended starting dose by which patients can be titrated to an appropriate maintenance dose of OROS hydromorphone HCI (slow release). The safety profile for OROS Hydromorphone HCI (slow release) will also be evaluated.
The purpose of this study was to characterize a safe and effective means of conversion and titration to an appropriate dose of hydromorphone HCI, to demonstrate comparable efficacy of OROS hydromorphone HCI SR (slow release) and hydromorphone HCI IR (immediate release) following administration of approximately equivalent total daily doses and demonstrate a significant dose-response relationship between OROS hydromorphone HCI SR (slow release) for breakthrough pain medication use or alternatively, diary-based analgesic scores
The purpose of this study was to characterize the steady-state pharmacokinetic (metabolism and action) profile of OROS hydromorphone HCI (slow release) in patients who required opioid therapy on a daily basis for chronic pain conditions. Patients stabilized on prior opioids were converted to OROS hydromorphone slow release and titrated (slowly increased or decreased) to adequate analgesia (pain relief). They were maintained at that dose for 4-10 days and had blood samples drawn over 24 hours on the last day of study.
The primary purpose of this study was to characterize the pain control achieved with long-term repeated dosing of OROS hydromorphone (slow release) in patients with chronic cancer pain and the secondary purpose was to characterize the effects of pain on the patients' quality of life with long-term, repeated dosing of OROS hydromorphone (slow release) taken by patients with chronic cancer pain.
The purpose of study was to characterize the safety and tolerability of long-term repeated dosing of OROS hydromorphone controlled release tablets (8,16,32, and 64 mg) in patients with chronic cancer pain or chronic non-malignant pain.
The purpose of this repeated dose study is to develop recommended dosing information for initiation of therapy with OROS Hydromorphone in patients with chronic non-malignant pain converting from other strong oral or transdermal opioids. It will also assist in the development of a recommended starting dose by which patients can be titrated to an appropriate maintenance dose of OROS Hydromorphone HCI. The safety profile for OROS Hydromorphone HCI will also be evaluated.
RATIONALE: Learning about quality of life, symptoms, and health behaviors in colorectal cancer survivors may help to determine the long-term effects of colon and rectal cancer treatments and may help to improve the quality of life for future cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is looking at patient-reported outcomes in long-term survivors of colon and rectal cancers.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the clinical equivalence of hydromorphone and morphine (immediate-release [IR] and sustained-release [SR] formulations) using the "worst pain in the past 24 hours" item of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The secondary objective of this study was to compare hydromorphone and morphine in the following variables: other pain measures, various questionnaires, and safety and tolerability variables.
Low back pain (LBP) is a common problem in the adult population with many approaches to treatment, but no clear answer. One of the causes of LBP, musculoskeletal pain, can be triggered by spasm of the deep muscles of the back and pelvis. This study, therefore, focuses on treating pelvic muscle pain as a way of lessening LBP.
