Study Summary

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness and tolerability of the buprenorphine transdermal system (20 mg) in comparison to the buprenorphine transdermal system (5 mg) and oxycodone immediate release in subjects with moderate to severe osteoarthritis pain currently treated with oral opioids. The double-blind treatment intervention duration is 12 weeks during which time supplemental analgesic medication (acetaminophen, ibuprofen, immediate release oxycodone) will be provided to all subjects in addition to study drug.

Primary Outcome

The "average pain over the last 24 hours" score was collected using an 11-point numerical scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine. This variable was obtained at each clinic visit during the double-blind phase of the study (postrandomization weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12).

Interventions

  • DRUG Buprenorphine
  • DRUG oxycodone immediate-release
