| General information about the trial | |||
Main objective of the trial | To investigate the Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of tapentadol after the administration of multiple doses of tapentadol oral solution to children aged 2 years to less than 7 years after a painful event that routinely produces acute pain requiring treatment with a strong analgesic medication (e.g., opioids or metamizole). | ||
Protection of trial subjects | The trial was conducted according to Good Clinical Practice guidelines, the applicable local laws, and in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki. The competent authority approved the trial as required by national regulations. The regulatory authority was notified of the trial and amendments as required by national regulations. Tapentadol oral solution was administered to pediatric subjects in accordance with the approved SmPC for the pediatric population. Assessments/interventions have been limited as far as possible to those that would be performed according to the standard of care. Subjects were hospitalised during the entire treatment and evaluation phase to ensure the medical status of each subject was regularly and carefully monitored by qualified medical professionals. Vital signs (respiratory rate, blood pressure, and heart rate) and oxygen saturation (by pulse oximetry) were monitored as per local standard of care from before the administration of Dose 1 until the end of Visit 3. Vital signs and oxygen saturation values were recorded at specified time points before each investigational medicinal product administration and PK blood sampling. | ||

End point title | Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve at Steady State for the Dosing Interval (AUCtau,SS) for Tapentadol [1] | ||||||||
End point description | AUCtau,SS was defined as area under the concentration-time curve at steady state for the dosing interval. The endpoint of this trial was estimated based on a population PK (popPK) model and the observed concentration-time data. The concentration data of all subjects who had a quantifiable serum concentration of tapentadol were analysed. The descriptive statistics presented for the endpoint include all evaluable subjects as per trial protocol. | ||||||||
End point type | Primary | ||||||||
End point timeframe | Four-hour dosing interval at steady-state | ||||||||
| Notes [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point. Justification: Nonlinear mixed effects modeling approach using the first-order method with conditional estimation and interaction was applied to develop a popPK model based on the observed concentration-time data. The model was used to provide estimates of population and individual PK parameters and to simulate full multiple-dose concentration-time profiles for each subject based on the Empirical Bayes Estimates.The AUCtau,SS was calculated from the individual full profiles using the linear trapezoidal method. | |||||||||

End point title | Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve at Steady State for the Dosing Interval (AUCtau,SS) for Tapentadol-O-Glucuronide | ||||||||
End point description | Tapentadol-O-Glucuronide was the metabolite of Tapentadol. AUCtau,SS was defined as area under the concentration-time curve at steady state for the dosing interval. The endpoint of this trial was estimated based on a popPK model and the observed concentration-time data. The concentration data of all subjects who had a quantifiable serum concentration of tapentadol-O-glucuronide were analysed. The descriptive statistics presented for the endpoint include all evaluable subjects as per trial protocol. | ||||||||
