BACKGROUND: Hydrocodone/acetaminophen combination analgesics are frequently prescribed for chronic pain management; however, acetaminophen presents potential hepatotoxicity to patients and thus dose limitations. These opioid medications are also widely abused. Once-daily, single-entity hydrocodone (Hysingla™ ER tablets [HYD]) is a novel formulation with abuse-deterrent properties for the management of chronic pain and represents a suitable option for those patients receiving analgesics containing the same opioid analgesic, hydrocodone. This post-hoc analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of HYD in patients whose primary pre-study analgesic was hydrocodone/acetaminophen analgesics (23-31% of the study populations).
METHODS: Data were analyzed from two Phase III trials, a 12-week randomized, placebo-controlled trial (RCT) and an open-label, 52-week trial. In both trials, a dose-titration period with HYD was followed by respective periods of fixed-dose double-blind (randomized controlled trial [RCT]) or open-label, flexible-dose maintenance treatment. Pain intensity was assessed using a numerical rating scale (0-10, 0 = no pain). For the RCT, primary and sensitivity analyses of pain scores used different approaches to handle missing data. Safety data for both studies were summarized.
RESULTS: In the RCT, the mean baseline pain score was 7.3. Pain relief was greater with HYD than placebo during double-blind treatment. In the open-label, flexible-dose trial, the majority of patients were maintained on their titrated dose. Mean baseline pain score was 6.3, about 57% of patients completed the 1-year maintenance period, and mean pain scores were between 3.6 and 4.1 during the maintenance period. Use of supplemental pain medication decreased or was maintained during the maintenance treatment with HYD. Adverse events in both trials were typical of those associated with opioid analgesics.
CONCLUSION: In patients whose primary pretrial analgesic was hydrocodone/acetaminophen combination tablets, single-entity HYD was effective in reducing pain intensity and in maintaining analgesia over time without need for continued dose increase. HYD's safety and tolerability profiles were similar to other opioid analgesics.
