Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of tapentadol
Predose, and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48 hours post-dose

Cmax is defined as maximum observed analyte concentration.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Time at Last Observed Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast) of tapentadol
Predose, and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48 hours post-dose

AUClast is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last quantifiable concentration.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC[0-infinity]) of tapentadol
Predose, and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48 hours post-dose

The AUC(0-infinity) is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of Area under Curve (AUC) last and C(last)/lambda(z), in which C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration.

Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of tapentadol
Predose, and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48 hours post-dose

The Tmax is defined as actual sampling time to reach maximum observed analyte concentration.

Frequently asked questions about Tapentadol 250-mg TRF

What is Tapentadol 250-mg TRF?

Tapentadol 250-mg TRF is an extended-release tablet formulation of tapentadol developed by Johnson & Johnson. It is a small molecule that acts on SLC6A2 and OPRM1. The specific indication for this formulation has not been disclosed. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development.

What does Tapentadol 250-mg TRF target?

Tapentadol 250-mg TRF targets SLC6A2 and OPRM1. It is classified as an inhibitor of these targets. SLC6A2 is the norepinephrine transporter, and OPRM1 is the mu-opioid receptor. This dual mechanism is characteristic of tapentadol.

Who is developing Tapentadol 250-mg TRF?

Tapentadol 250-mg TRF is being developed by Johnson & Johnson, which trades under the ticker symbol JNJ. Johnson & Johnson is the sponsor of the clinical trial for this formulation.

What phase is Tapentadol 250-mg TRF in?

Tapentadol 250-mg TRF is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA. The Phase 1 trial for this formulation has been completed.

What clinical trials is Tapentadol 250-mg TRF in?

Tapentadol 250-mg TRF has been studied in one clinical trial: NCT01981278. This Phase 1 trial was a bioequivalence study comparing a new extended-release 250-mg tablet to an existing extended-release 250-mg tablet in 63 healthy participants. The trial was completed.
