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 used for?

Tapentadol 250-mg TRF is an investigational small molecule being studied in healthy participants. It is a new extended-release 250-mg tablet formulation of tapentadol, intended to assess bioequivalence with an existing tapentadol extended-release 250-mg tablet. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development.

Who makes Tapentadol 250-mg TRF?

Tapentadol 250-mg TRF is being developed by Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ). The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate this new extended-release 250-mg tablet formulation of tapentadol in healthy participants.

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 regulatory authorities. One Phase 1 trial has been completed, and the drug remains under clinical investigation.

What clinical trials is Tapentadol 250-mg TRF in?

Tapentadol 250-mg TRF has one completed clinical trial, NCT01981278, which assessed bioequivalence of the new extended-release 250-mg tablet with respect to a tapentadol extended-release 250-mg tablet in healthy participants. The trial enrolled 63 participants in the United States and was a controlled, randomized study.

Is Tapentadol 250-mg TRF the same as tapentadol extended-release 250-mg tablet?

Tapentadol 250-mg TRF is a new extended-release 250-mg tablet formulation of tapentadol. It is being studied to assess bioequivalence with respect to a tapentadol extended-release 250-mg tablet, meaning the trial compares the two formulations to determine if they are equivalent in how they are absorbed and processed by the body.
