Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
27-Sep-2007 (first patient first visit) to 28-Apr-2009 (last patient last visit) at 83 medical/research sites in US

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Open-label run-in period designed to select those subjects who both tolerated and responded to treatment with BTDS 10 or BTDS 20 (an enriched design). N = 1151 entered the run-in period, and N = 571 completed. One subject was not dosed, therefore N = 570 randomized. N = 3 subjects did not have safety data, therefore N = 567 had double-blind data.

Reporting Groups
  Description
Double-blind BTDS 10 or 20 Buprenorphine transdermal patches (BTDS) 10 or 20 mcg/h applied for 7-day wear
Double-blind Placebo Placebo patches to match the BTDS patches applied for 7-day wear
