Nasal Human Abuse Potential of PTI-821

March 22, 2018 updated by: Pain Therapeutics

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Dummy, Single-Dose,4-Way Crossover Study With Exploratory Fifth Treatment to Determine the Relative Nasal Abuse Potential of PTI-821 (Oxycodone Extended-Release Capsules)

The study will evaluate the human abuse liability of PTI-821 (oxycodone extended-release capsules) when administered nasally compared to crushed oxycodone IR tablets and crushed OxyContin tablets, also administered nasally.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

The nasal human abuse liability of PTI-821 will be compared to oxycodone IR using pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic assessments. A comparison to OxyContin will be dose using pharmacokinetic assessments.

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

14 years to 51 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria::

  • Healthy male and/or female subjects between the ages of 18 and 55 years,
  • Subject is a recreational opioid user who is NOT dependent on opioids

  • Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document
  • Subjects must be willing and able to comply with study procedures.
  • Females who are physically incapable of childbearing, or practicing an acceptable method of birth control. Acceptable methods of birth control include surgical sterilization, hormonal contraceptives, or double-barrier methods (condom or diaphragm with a spermicidal agent or intrauterine device).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Evidence or history of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurologic, or allergic disease (including drug allergies, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies at time of dosing).
  • Diagnosis of substance and/or alcohol dependence (excluding caffeine and nicotine).
  • Has participated in, is currently participating in, or is seeking treatment for substance- and/or alcohol-related disorders (excluding nicotine and caffeine).
  • Has a positive urine drug screen (UDS) excluding tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) at Screening and the admission for Qualification Phase.
  • Has a positive alcohol breath test at Screening or upon admission to the study center for the Qualification Phase.
  • Has any history of a condition in which an opioid is contraindicated
  • History of sleep apnea in the past 5 years that has not been resolved.
  • Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for entry into this study.
  • Positive test for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or HIV at Screening.
  • Allergy or history of hypersensitivity to naloxone hydrochloride (HCl), oxycodone HCl, other opioids, and/or lactose.
  • Any condition possibly affecting drug absorption.

  • Clinically significant illness in the judgment of the investigator within 30 days before Screening.
  • Treatment with an investigational drug within 30 days (or as determined by the local requirement, whichever is longer) or 5 half-lives preceding the first treatment during the Qualification Period (Visit 2), if longer than 30 days.
  • Screening BP > 140 mm Hg (systolic) or > 90 mm Hg (diastolic) following at least 5 minutes of rest. If BP is > 140 mm Hg (systolic) or > 90 mm Hg (diastolic), the BP should be repeated two more times and the average of the three BP values should be used to determine the subject's eligibility.
  • Pregnant females; breastfeeding females; males and females of childbearing potential who are unwilling or unable to use a highly effective method of contraception as outlined in this protocol for the duration of the study and for 28 days after the last dose of study medication. Urine pregnancy tests must be collected and confirmed negative prior to dosing upon admission.
  • Is currently taking a drug for a medical condition or a nutraceutical that poses a safety risk when administered with an opioid, cannot be safely withdrawn at Screening for the duration of the study, and/or will adversely affect the PD and safety assessments required by the study. Examples include antihypertensive agents, drugs for seizures, and diabetes medications. Hormonal contraceptives (oral, injected, intrauterine, transdermal or implanted) are allowed in this study provided the subject remains on the same treatment throughout the entire study and has been using that hormonal contraceptive for an adequate period of time to ensure effectiveness. Limited use of non-prescription medications that are not believed to affect subject safety or the overall results of the study may be permitted on a case-by-case basis following approval by the investigator. As an exception, acetaminophen may be used at doses of 1 g/day.
  • Blood donation (excluding plasma donations) of approximately 1 pint (500 mL) or more within 30 days prior to dosing.
  • Unwilling or unable to comply with the procedures described in this protocol.
  • Unwilling to be searched (including personal effects) for illicit substances before admission to the study center.
  • Subject is a heavy smoker (> 20 cigarettes per day on average in the past 30 days prior to Screening), chews tobacco, uses nicotine-containing products (including nicotine transdermal patches), and/or is unable to abstain from smoking for at least 10 hours during any day.
  • Current pending legal charges or currently on probation.
  • Subjects who are investigational site staff members directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members, site staff members otherwise supervised by the investigator, or subjects who are PTI employees directly involved in the conduct of the study.
