Evaluation Of Efficacy And Safety Of Norspan In Moderate To Severe Pain

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of the buprenorphine transdermal patch (Norspan® or Sovenor® transdermal patch) in patients with chronic non-malignant pain of moderate to severe intensity due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lower back pain and joint/muscle pain, who are not adequately responding to non-opioid painkillers.

Clinical Trial Description

Baseline assessment (Visit 1) includes medical history, physical examination, vital signs.

At Visit 2 [7 days ( ± 3 days) after Visit 1] and subsequent optional titration visits up to (Visit 1 + 42 days) , patients will be titrated up to an effective and tolerated dose of Norspan® or Sovenor® transdermal patch and continue rescue analgesic, if necessary.

Titration period is dependent on time to achieving optimal pain control as determined by the investigator. The up-titration regime is planned on a weekly basis. Earlier dose titration (i.e. minimum 3 days after the patch application) is permitted at the investigator's discretion if the pain is uncontrolled. Effective and tolerated dose is assessed by data recorded in the case report form and patient diary.

According to country label, all patients will begin treatment with Norspan® or Sovenor® transdermal patch 5mg and will then be up-titrated, if necessary, to a maximum of Norspan® or Sovenor® transdermal patch 40mg or according to country label to achieve stable pain control. Patients that require oral opioid at any time during the study should be discontinued from the trial. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
