A Phase 2 interventional study of Buprenorphine Sublingual Spray and Morphine in Pain, Postoperative, sponsored by INSYS Therapeutics Inc. Completed at 2 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-10-29.
Sponsored by INSYS Therapeutics Inc · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability based on the incidence of adverse experiences of buprenorphine sublingual spray (0.5 milligrams [mg] three times daily [TID]) compared with standard post-operative narcotic therapy in participants with postoperative pain. Standard post-operative narcotic therapy is defined as morphine intravenous (IV) injection (4 mg TID) followed by oxycodone hydrochloride tablet (10 mg TID).
If female, is either not of childbearing potential (defined as postmenopausal for at least 1 year or surgically sterile [bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or hysterectomy]) or practicing one of the following medically acceptable methods of birth control:

4 mg Intravenous Injection
10 mg tablet
4 mg oral disintegrating tablet (ODT) or IV injection given at the investigator's discretion for nausea
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product during the course of a clinical investigation. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational product, whether or not thought to be related to the investigational product. A TEAE is an AE with onset that occurs after receiving study drug.
Time frame: Days 1 to 8
Percentage of Participants Provided Rescue Medication for Nausea
Zofran was used at the clinician's discretion as rescue medication for nausea.
Time frame: Days 1 to7
Time to First Use of Rescue Medication for Nausea Following Each Dose of the Investigational Product (IP)
Zofran was used at the clinician's discretion as rescue medication for nausea. Time "0" is defined as the time of the administration of study drug.
Time frame: Days 1 to 7
Total Use of Rescue Medication for Nausea Over 0 to 24 Hours, Over 0 to 48 Hours, Over 0-72 Hours and 0-7 Days
Zofran was used at the clinician's discretion as rescue medication for nausea. The total use of rescue medication was calculated for the following 4 time-frames: 0 to 24 hours, 0 to 48 hours, 0 to 72 hours and 0 to 7 days.
Time frame: 0 to 24 hours, 0 to 48 hours, 0 to 72 hours and 0 to 7 days
Pulse Oximetry Levels at 90 Minutes,12, 24, 48 and 72 Hours
Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method to measure a person's oxygen saturation.
Time frame: 90 Minutes,12, 24, 48 and 72 Hours
Number of Participants With Abnormal Electrocardiograms (ECGs) Findings at 90 Minutes,12, 24, 48 and 72 Hours
A standard 12-lead ECG will be performed after the participant is in the supine (lying face up) position for 5 minutes.
Time frame: Pre-dose and 90 minutes, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after first dose
Number of Participants With Abnormal Oral Cavity Examinations
Study staff will perform a sublingual (under the tongue) assessment, noting the color of mucosa and whether inflammation is present.
Time frame: Pre-dose and 90 minutes, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after first dose on Days 1 to 4 and End of Study Day 8
