Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Worst Pain in the Past 24 Hours Assessed by Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Short Form Questionnaire Score at Day 29
Baseline and Day 29

The BPI is questionnaire for evaluating the degree of pain severity and the impact of pain in performing daily routines. Change in worst pain in the past 24 hours in BPI score was reported. The total score ranges from 0 to 10, wherein 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates pain as bad as participants could imagine.

Frequently asked questions about Hydromorphone

What is Hydromorphone used for?

Hydromorphone is an opioid analgesic being studied for the management of pain, including cancer-related pain. It is also used in clinical studies involving healthy volunteers to assess pharmacokinetic profiles. The drug is currently in clinical development for these pain-related indications.

Who makes Hydromorphone?

Hydromorphone is being developed by Johnson & Johnson, a company publicly traded under the ticker symbol JNJ. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's efficacy and safety in pain management and its pharmacokinetic profile in healthy volunteers.

What phase is Hydromorphone in?

Hydromorphone is in Phase 1 clinical development, based on the most recent trial data. While one completed Phase 3 trial exists, the drug's current development stage is Phase 1, and it remains investigational and not yet approved for any indication.

What clinical trials is Hydromorphone in?

Hydromorphone has been studied in two completed clinical trials. NCT01205126 was a Phase 3 study in 260 participants with cancer-related pain in China. NCT01487564 was a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study in 29 healthy Taiwanese participants with different UGT2B7 genotypes.

Is Hydromorphone the same as OROS Hydromorphone?

Yes, Hydromorphone is the same as OROS Hydromorphone, which refers to the oral osmotic therapeutic system formulation of the drug. Clinical trials have evaluated this formulation for cancer-related pain and for pharmacokinetic profiling in healthy volunteers.
