NCT01586507 | Completed Phase 1

• 2 other identifiers: CR014017TRAMAPPAI1003
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 38
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) of single oral doses of ULTRAM Extended Release (ER) at 2 dose levels in adolescents between 12 and 17 years old, inclusive (up to 17 years 364 days) with pain due to injury or nonmalignant disease, to the PK in adults, with respect to the PK parameter AUC∞ (area under the curve) of racemic tramadol. PK explores how the drug is absorbed in the body, distributed within the body, and how it is removed from the body over time.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The area under the curve (AUC∞) of ULTRAM ER as the primary PK parameter

  At 1, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Plasma concentration profile of ULTRAM ER

  At 1, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose

• Plasma concentration profiles of M1 and M5 metabolites

  At 1, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose

• Incidence of adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

  48 hours post dose

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 12 Years - 17 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)

You may qualify if:

• Confirmed need for control of pain due to injury or nonmalignant disease that does not influence fluid shifts and general drug disposition

• Informed consent signed by the parent(s) or the legal guardian(s) of the participant

You may not qualify if:

• History of or current clinically significant medical illness or condition including (but not limited to) cardiac disease, hematologic disease, coagulation disorders, lipid abnormalities, significant pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, renal or hepatic insufficiency, thyroid disease, neurologic or psychiatric disease, infection, or any other illness or condition that the investigator considers should exclude the participant or that could interfere with the interpretation of the study results
