To Determine the Fasting Bioequivalence of Reformulated OXY Tablets Manufactured at Two Different Facilities

A Randomized, Open-Label, Single-Dose, Two-Way Crossover Study in Healthy Subjects to Determine the Fasting Bioequivalence of Oxycodone Tamper Resistant (OTR) 80-mg Tablets Manufactured at the Totowa, NJ Facility to Oxycodone Tamper Resistant (OTR) 80-mg Tablets Manufactured at the Wilson, NC Facility

The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence of a new oxycodone formulation (80 mg) manufactured at the Totowa, NJ facility relative to the formulation (80 mg) manufactured at the Wilson, NC facility in the fasted state.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Reformulated OXY (Totowa) (oxycodone HCl); Drug: Reformulated OXY (Wilson) (oxycodone HCl)

Detailed Description

Oxycodone hydrochloride (oxycodone) is a semi-synthetic opioid analgesic that is effective in the relief of moderate to severe malignant and non-malignant pain.
