This is an open-label, single dose, randomised, cross-over study to confirm the bioequivalence (BE) of OTR tablet 40 mg and OXYCONTIN tablet 40 mg in a fasted state in Chinese subjects with chronic pain
In this BE study, subjects with histories of chronic pain are chosen as the target population. Inclusion/exclusion criteria are strictly defined to reduce the potential variation of the PK data. Single dose design is chosen per Food and Drug Administration (FDA)/WHO guideline on bioavailability (BA)/BE studies for modified-release products. As a general rule, cross-over design is applied in the study to decrease the inter-individual variations between the two cohorts. A washout period lasting for at least 7 half-lives of the investigational medicine is needed to eliminate the drug residual from the previous period7. The elimination half-life of oxycodone from OTR is 4.5 hours, and a 6-day washout period is sufficient to achieve the aim.

Cmax of OTR Tablet 40 mg and OXYCONTIN Tablet 40 mg in a Fasted State
The analysis was for PK parameters Cmax of analyte oxycodone. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with fixed effect terms for treatment, period, sequence, and subject within sequence for ratio of means (using log scale) were used to compare the test and the reference treatments.
Time frame: up to 32 hours
AUCt of OTR Tablet 40 mg and OXYCONTIN Tablet 40 mg in a Fasted State
The analysis was for PK parameters AUCt of analyte oxycodone. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with fixed effect terms for treatment, period, sequence, and subject within sequence for ratio of means (using log scale) were used to compare the test and the reference treatments.
Time frame: up to 32 hours
AUCINF of OTR Tablet 40 mg and OXYCONTIN Tablet 40 mg in a Fasted State
The analysis was for PK parameters AUCINF for analyte oxycodone. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with fixed effect terms for treatment, period, sequence, and subject within sequence for ratio of means (using log scale) was used to compare the test and the reference treatments.
Time frame: up to 32 hours
Adverse Event of OTR Tablet 40 mg and OXYCONTIN Tablet 40 mg, When Given to Chinese Subjects With Chronic Pain in a Fasted State
An overall summary of adverse events will be provided by treatment groups. The number and percentage of subjects reporting adverse events will be summarised by the preferred term nested within the System Organ Classification. In addition the number of reported adverse events will be summarised.
Time frame: up to 35 days
Number of Lab Tests With Clinical Significance
Clinical laboratory data to be summarised includes haematology, blood chemistry, and urinalysis.Each parameter will be assigned an LNH classification according to whether the value is lower than (L), within (N) or higher than (H) the reference range for that parameter. Results will be summarised using shift tables to evaluate categorical changes from baseline to end of study with respect to reference range values (lower than, within, and higher than).

Time frame: up to 35 days
Number of AEs Related to Vital Sign
Vital sign parameters to be summarised include systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration rate, and axillary temperature. Vital sign results for each parameter will be assigned an LNH classification according to whether the value is lower than (L), within (N), or higher than (H) the reference range for that parameter. Vital sign results will be summarised using shift tables to evaluate categorical changes from baseline to end of study with respect to reference range values (lower than, within, and higher than).
Time frame: up to 35 days
Number of AEs Related to ECGs
Twelve-lead ECG was conducted at screening and on Day 4 of Period 2.
Time frame: up to 35 days
Number of AEs Related to Physical Examination
Physical examination was conducted at screening, and on Day -1, Day 4 in each Period.
Time frame: up to 35 days
