  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) fentanyl patches (transdermal patch containing a drug that is put on the skin so the drug will enter the body through the skin) in knee osteoarthritis (disorder, which is seen mostly in older persons, in which the joints become painful and stiff) participants with moderate to severe pain.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Score at Day 30 [ Time Frame: Day 30 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The WOMAC questionnaire consists of 24 items scored on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of 0-10 centimeter (0=no pain to 10=worse pain): pain (5 items), stiffness (2 items) and functional impairment (17items).


Enrollment: 35
Study Start Date: August 2008
Study Completion Date: November 2008
Primary Completion Date: November 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: TTS-fentanyl
Transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) fentanyl patches releasing at the rate of 12.5 microgram per hour for 3 days. The patches will be replaced every 3 days until 30 days.
 Drug: TTS-fentanyl
Other Name: Durogesic

Detailed Description:

This is an open-label (a medical research study in which participants and researchers are told which treatments the participants are receiving, "unblinded"), single-arm, prospective study (study following participants forward in time) of TTS-fentanyl matrix form in knee osteoarthritis participants. The study consists of 3 phases: a screening phase, an open label treatment phase consisting of 2 periods, and an evaluation phase. The first patch will be applied on the first day of treatment phase by the investigator, and sufficient patches until Day 30 will be provided to the participant with the instructions to apply the patch. The TTS-fentanyl dose will normally be increased, if needed by 12.5 microgram per hour taking into account the daily dose of supplemental paracetamol required by the participant. Efficacy with regard to pain control will be recorded principally by the participant via questionnaires in a daily diary. This record will be used to support more detailed assessments at study visits on Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire. Participants' safety will be monitored.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   40 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Chronic (lasting a long time) primary osteoarthritis knee pain, one or two side with stage II Kellgen-Lawrence, for more than 3 months with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) more than 4
  • Good knee deformity, no limit range of motion
  • Participant who has signed the informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Skin disease that prevents the use of the transdermal system or which could affect the absorption of fentanyl or local tolerability
  • History or suspicion of alcohol or drug abuse within the past 5 years
  • History of cardiac, nervous system or respiratory disease which in the investigator's judgment prevents participation in the study because of the potential for respiratory depression
  • Confusion, reduced level of consciousness, or concomitant psychiatric disorder which, in the opinion of the investigator, could prevent participation in the trial
  • Participants who do not understand or speak Thai
