Efficacy and Safety Study of Transdermal Therapeutic System (TTS) Fentanyl in Participants With Osteoarthritis Knee Pain

May 29, 2013 updated by: Janssen-Cilag Ltd.,Thailand

Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of TTS-Fentanyl in Moderate to Severe Pain From Knee Osteoarthritis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) fentanyl patches (transdermal patch containing a drug that is put on the skin so the drug will enter the body through the skin) in knee osteoarthritis (disorder, which is seen mostly in older persons, in which the joints become painful and stiff) participants with moderate to severe pain.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label (a medical research study in which participants and researchers are told which treatments the participants are receiving, "unblinded"), single-arm, prospective study (study following participants forward in time) of TTS-fentanyl matrix form in knee osteoarthritis participants. The study consists of 3 phases: a screening phase, an open label treatment phase consisting of 2 periods, and an evaluation phase. The first patch will be applied on the first day of treatment phase by the investigator, and sufficient patches until Day 30 will be provided to the participant with the instructions to apply the patch. The TTS-fentanyl dose will normally be increased, if needed by 12.5 microgram per hour taking into account the daily dose of supplemental paracetamol required by the participant. Efficacy with regard to pain control will be recorded principally by the participant via questionnaires in a daily diary. This record will be used to support more detailed assessments at study visits on Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire. Participants' safety will be monitored.

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Chronic (lasting a long time) primary osteoarthritis knee pain, one or two side with stage II Kellgen-Lawrence, for more than 3 months with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) more than 4
  • Good knee deformity, no limit range of motion
  • Participant who has signed the informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Skin disease that prevents the use of the transdermal system or which could affect the absorption of fentanyl or local tolerability
  • History or suspicion of alcohol or drug abuse within the past 5 years
  • History of cardiac, nervous system or respiratory disease which in the investigator's judgment prevents participation in the study because of the potential for respiratory depression
  • Confusion, reduced level of consciousness, or concomitant psychiatric disorder which, in the opinion of the investigator, could prevent participation in the trial
  • Participants who do not understand or speak Thai

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Score at Day 30
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 30
The WOMAC is a self administered, participant health related questionnaire consisting of three subscales (pain, stiffness and physical function). Pain subscale score ranges from 0-100 mm (0 mm=no pain to 100 mm=extreme pain); stiffness subscale score ranges from 0-100 mm (0 mm=no stiffness to 100 mm=extreme stiffness) and physical function subscale ranges from 0-100 mm (0 mm=no difficulty to 100 mm=extreme difficulty). The overall WOMAC score is the sum of the 3 subscale scores which ranges from 0-300 mm (0 mm=none to 300 mm=extreme/worst).

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
