Efficacy and safety of tapentadol prolonged release formulation in the treatment of elderly patients with moderate-to-severe chronic osteoarthritis knee pain: a pooled analysis of two double-blind, randomized, placebo-, and active-controlled trials.
    Current medical research and opinion, 2018, Volume: 34, Issue:12

    To compare efficacy and safety of tapentadol prolonged release (PR) vs oxycodone controlled release (CR) in younger patients (<65 years of age) and in elderly patients (≥65 and ≥75 years of age) in the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic osteoarthritis (OA) knee pain.. Data from two double-blind, randomized, placebo-, and oxycodone CR-controlled phase 3 trials were pooled and stratified by age. Primary efficacy end-points were change from baseline in average pain intensity at week 12 (US end-point) and over the entire maintenance period (non-US end-point).. A total of 1357 patients <65 years, 653 patients ≥65 years, and 176 patients ≥75 years of age were assessed. The comparison between tapentadol PR and oxycodone CR showed numerically better pain relief under tapentadol PR for both primary end-points in all three age groups. More favorable improvements were also observed for patient global impression of change, the Short Form-36 physical component score, and EuroQoL-5Dimensions health status index. In the elderly, incidences of dizziness and somnolence were comparable between active treatments, but incidences of nausea, vomiting, and constipation were considerably lower under tapentadol PR. Treatment completion rates were lowest under oxycodone CR; > 50% of elderly oxycodone CR patients named side-effects as the main reason for discontinuation.. Tapentadol PR was effective in the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic OA pain in elderly and younger patients. Compared to oxycodone CR, the overall and the gastrointestinal tolerability profile in particular were better in all tapentadol PR groups, regardless of age.

Efficacy and safety of tapentadol prolonged release for moderate-to-severe chronic osteoarthritis knee pain: a pooled analysis of two double-blind, randomized, placebo- and oxycodone controlled release-controlled studies.
    Current medical research and opinion, 2017, Volume: 33, Issue:8

    To compare efficacy and safety of tapentadol prolonged-release (PR) and oxycodone-controlled release (CR) in moderate-to-severe chronic osteoarthritis knee pain.. Data from two double-blind, randomized, placebo- and oxycodone CR-controlled phase 3 studies with a 3-week titration period and 12-week controlled dose adjustment maintenance period were pooled. Primary efficacy end-points were change from baseline in average pain intensity at week 12 (US end-point) and over the entire maintenance period (non-US end-point).. A total of 2,010 patients were assessed. For both primary end-points, tapentadol PR was significantly more effective than oxycodone CR (LS mean difference of -0.41 [95% CI = -0.65, -0.16; p = 0.001] at week 12 and -0.35 [95% CI = -0.58, -0.12; p = 0.003] over 12 weeks of maintenance [last observation carried forward]). Significantly better outcomes than for oxycodone CR were also observed for patient global impression of change, both Short Form-36 component scores, and EuroQoL-5Dimensions health status index (all p < 0.001). Relative risk for vomiting, constipation, nausea, somnolence, and pruritus was lower for tapentadol PR than for oxycodone CR. A higher proportion of oxycodone CR patients discontinued treatment (64% vs 42.2% for tapentadol PR); time to treatment discontinuation due to an adverse event was significantly shorter for oxycodone CR (p < 0.001).. The analyses suggest that tapentadol PR provided superior pain relief and a more improved overall health status than oxycodone CR in a large patient population with moderate-to-severe chronic osteoarthritis pain. Compared to oxycodone CR, tapentadol PR showed a more favorable tolerability profile with better gastrointestinal tolerability.

The role of tapentadol as a strong opioid in cancer pain management: a systematic and critical review.
    Current medical research and opinion, 2017, Volume: 33, Issue:11

    The aim of this review was to assess the role of tapentadol given at medium-high doses in opioid-tolerant patients for cancer pain management in place of step-3 analgesics.. A systematic literature search was performed out of which six studies and one secondary analysis provided data regarding tapentadol used as a step-3 analgesic for this review. Tapentadol, when used at ≥60 mg of oral morphine equivalents in opioid-tolerant patients with cancer pain, or passing from step-2 doses to ≥60 mg of oral morphine equivalents, was well tolerated and effective and could be considered as a flexible drug to be used for the management of moderate-to-severe cancer pain. The limited occurrence of gastrointestinal adverse effects may be a great advantage in the context of a disease like cancer, where multiple causes contribute to nausea, vomiting, or constipation; however, studies of tapentadol given at doses equivalent to step-3 level have some weaknesses, as data from prospective observational studies are poorly generalizable due to a small number of participants, controlled studies do not clearly show a superiority of tapentadol with respect to other opioids, and the sample size is often small.. More studies are necessary to confirm the role of tapentadol in cancer patients requiring strong opioids for their pain.

Impact of prolonged-release oxycodone/naloxone on outcomes affecting patients' daily functioning in comparison with extended-release tapentadol: a systematic review.
    Clinical therapeutics, 2015, Jan-01, Volume: 37, Issue:1

    The objective of this systematic review was to assess the clinical efficacy, safety, tolerability, and health-related quality of life outcomes associated with management of moderate-to-severe chronic pain with oxycodone/naloxone and tapentadol, focusing on the effect of these treatments on patients' daily functioning.. Literature from a wide range of sources, including Embase, MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, was searched to identify randomized controlled trials investigating tapentadol or oxycodone/naloxone for the treatment of patients with chronic pain. A network meta-analysis was conducted to determine the relative efficacy and safety profiles of these treatments.. Oxycodone/naloxone was significantly better than tapentadol with respect to the Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms total score (risk ratio = -3.60; 95% credible interval, -5.36 to -2.11) and revealed a significantly lower risk of dizziness (risk ratio = 0.72; 95% credible interval, 0.42-0.98). Oxycodone/naloxone was directionally favored, although not significantly superior to tapentadol for headache, fatigue, dry mouth, dyspepsia, and withdrawals due to lack of efficacy. For the AE outcomes of constipation, nausea, and vomiting, as well as pain efficacy and all-cause withdrawals from studies, tapentadol was directionally favored without any statistical difference from oxycodone/naloxone. However, the two treatments were not wholly comparable for the evaluation of pain efficacy because of differences in on-study rescue medication and a higher baseline pain severity in the tapentadol studies.. Oxycodone/naloxone offers significant improvements in Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms total score and dizziness and was directionally favored for fatigue and headache compared with extended-release tapentadol, which may translate to improved patient daily functioning and health-related quality of life.

Tapentadol prolonged-release for moderate-to-severe chronic osteoarthritis knee pain: a double-blind, randomized, placebo- and oxycodone controlled release-controlled study.
    Current medical research and opinion, 2017, Volume: 33, Issue:8

    To assess efficacy and safety of tapentadol prolonged release (PR) for moderate-to-severe chronic osteoarthritis knee pain.. Patients (n = 990) were randomized (1:1:1) to tapentadol PR, oxycodone controlled release (CR; reference compound for assay sensitivity), or placebo for a double-blind 3-week titration and 12-week maintenance period. Primary efficacy end-points were change from baseline in average pain intensity at week 12 of maintenance (US end-point) and over the entire maintenance period (non-US end-point) with "last observation carried forward" as imputation method for missing scores.. Both primary end-points were not significantly different for tapentadol PR nor for oxycodone CR vs placebo at week 12 (least squares [LS] mean difference = -0.3 [95% CI = -0.61-0.09]; p = 0.152 and 0.2 [95% CI = -0.16-0.54]; p = 0.279, respectively) and over the maintenance period (LS mean difference = -0.2 [95% CI = -0.55-0.07]; p = 0.135 and 0.1 [95% CI = -0.18-0.44]; p = 0.421, respectively). Considerably more patients receiving tapentadol PR than oxycodone CR completed the trial (58.3% vs 36.6%). This is consistent with better results with tapentadol PR on the overall health status (PGIC) compared to oxycodone CR. Indeed, respectively, 56% and 42.5% rated at least "much improved" at the end of treatment. Incidences of gastrointestinal adverse events were higher for both active treatments compared to placebo. Tapentadol PR was associated with a better gastrointestinal tolerability profile with incidences of constipation (17.9% vs 35%) and of the composite of nausea and/or vomiting (23.8% vs 46.8%) significantly lower vs oxycodone CR (p < 0.001).. The study did not demonstrate assay sensitivity. The finding that both primary end-points for tapentadol PR were not met can, thus, not be interpreted. Tapentadol PR was better tolerated than oxycodone CR, largely due to fewer gastrointestinal side-effects.

Tapentadol immediate-release for acute postbunionectomy pain: a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study in Taiwan.
    Current medical research and opinion, 2015, Volume: 31, Issue:11

    To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tapentadol immediate-release (IR) for treating acute pain following orthopedic bunionectomy surgery in a Taiwanese population.. This was a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group bridging study in which Taiwanese patients (N = 60) with moderate-to-severe pain following bunionectomy were randomized (1:1:1) to receive tapentadol IR 50 or 75 mg or placebo orally every 4-6 hours over a 72 hour period. The primary endpoint was the sum of pain intensity difference over 48 hours (SPID48), analyzed using analysis of variance.. Out of 60 patients randomized (mainly women [96.7%]; median age 44 years), 41 (68.3%) completed the treatment. Mean SPID48 values were significantly higher for tapentadol IR (p ≤ 0.006: 50 mg, p ≤ 0.004: 75 mg) compared with placebo. Between-group differences in LS means of SPID48 (vs. placebo) were tapentadol IR 50 mg: 105.6 (95% CI: 32.0; 179.2); tapentadol IR 75 mg: 126.6 (95% CI: 49.5; 203.7). Secondary endpoints including SPID at 12, 24, and 72 hours, time to first use of rescue medication, cumulative distribution of responder rates, total pain relief and sum of total pain relief and sum of pain intensity difference at 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours, and patient global impression of change showed numerically better results supporting that tapentadol IR (50 and 75 mg) was more efficacious than placebo in relieving acute pain. The most frequent treatment emergent adverse events reported in ≥ 10% patients in either group were dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. A limitation of this study may possibly include more controlled patient monitoring through 4-6 hour dosing intervals, which reflects optimal conditions and thus may not approximate real-world clinical practice. However, all treatment groups would be equally affected by such bias of frequent monitoring, if any, since it was a randomized and double-blind study.. Tapentadol IR treatment significantly relieved acute postoperative pain and was well tolerated in a Taiwanese population. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01813890.

A randomized withdrawal, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and tolerability of tapentadol extended release in patients with chronic painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
    Diabetes care, 2014, Volume: 37, Issue:8

    This study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of tapentadol extended release (ER) for the management of chronic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).. Adults with moderate to severe DPN pain were titrated to tapentadol ER 100-250 mg bid during a 3-week open-label period; patients with ≥1-point reduction in pain intensity (11-point numerical rating scale) at end of titration were randomized to receive placebo or tapentadol ER (optimal dose from titration) for 12 weeks (double-blind, fixed-dose maintenance phase). The primary end point was mean change in average pain intensity from the start to week 12 (last observation carried forward [LOCF]) of the double-blind maintenance phase.. A total of 358 patients completed the titration period; 318 patients (placebo, n = 152; tapentadol ER, n = 166) were randomized and received one or more doses of double-blind study medication. Mean (SD) pain intensity (observed case) was 7.33 (1.30) at the start and 4.16 (2.12) at week 3 of the open-label titration period (mean [SD] change, -3.22 [1.97]). The mean (SD) change in pain intensity (LOCF) from start of double-blind treatment to week 12 was as follows: placebo, 1.30 (2.43); tapentadol ER, 0.28 (2.04; least squares mean difference, -0.95 [95% CI -1.42 to -0.49]; P < 0.001). Treatment-emergent adverse events (≥10%) in the tapentadol ER group during the double-blind maintenance phase were nausea (21.1%) and vomiting (12.7%).. Tapentadol ER (100-250 mg bid) was effective and well tolerated for the management of moderate to severe chronic pain associated with DPN.

Comparable efficacy and superior gastrointestinal tolerability (nausea, vomiting, constipation) of tapentadol compared with oxycodone hydrochloride.
    Advances in therapy, 2011, Volume: 28, Issue:5

    Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in acute and chronic pain treatment, powered to assess noninferiority of the efficacy of tapentadol immediate release (IR) (50 mg, 75 mg) versus oxycodone hydrochloride (HCl) IR (10 mg), established comparable efficacy of tapentadol IR with oxycodone HCl IR, and suggested tapentadol IR's improved gastrointestinal tolerability. The impact of these equianalgesic doses of tapentadol and oxycodone HCl on bowel function and gastrointestinal tolerability was then directly assessed in the current study, using a validated bowel function diary to comprehensively assess opioid-induced constipation symptoms and outcomes.. In this double-blind study, patients with end-stage joint disease were randomized to tapentadol IR (50 mg or 75 mg), oxycodone HCl IR 10 mg, or placebo. Treatment with IR formulations (14 days) was followed by treatment (28 days) with extended-release (ER) formulations of active drugs (or placebo).. Oxycodone HCl IR treatment significantly decreased (P<0.001) mean (SD) number of spontaneous bowel movements over the 14-day period (average per week: [6.7 (5.44)] versus tapentadol IR 50 mg [9.0 (4.04)], tapentadol IR 75 mg [8.6 (4.65)], and placebo [9.9 (5.16)]) (primary measure), confirming the tolerability findings of the earlier studies. Additionally, incidences of nausea and vomiting were significantly lower over the 14-day period (nominal P<0.001) for tapentadol IR 50 and 75 mg, versus oxycodone HCl IR 10 mg. Results with ER formulations of tapentadol and oxycodone HCl over a longer treatment period were consistent with those of IR formulations.. Tapentadol IR (50 mg, 75 mg) consistently demonstrated superior gastrointestinal tolerability, including for the most commonly reported events, such as nausea, vomiting, and constipation at doses that provide comparable efficacy with oxycodone HCl IR 10 mg. These findings validate and extend the tolerability findings of the two earlier studies that established comparable efficacy of these tapentadol and oxycodone HCl doses.

Efficacy and tolerability of tapentadol immediate release and oxycodone HCl immediate release in patients awaiting primary joint replacement surgery for end-stage joint disease: a 10-day, phase III, randomized, double-blind, active- and placebo-controlled
    Clinical therapeutics, 2009, Volume: 31, Issue:2

    The primary objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and tolerability of tapentadol immediate release (IR) in patients who were candidates for joint replacement surgery due to end-stage joint disease. A secondary objective was to compare tapentadol IR with oxycodone HCl IR with respect to efficacy and prespecified tolerability end points.. This 10-day, Phase III, randomized, double-blind, active- and placebo-controlled study compared the efficacy and tolerability of tapentadol IR, oxycodone HCl IR, and placebo in patients with uncontrolled osteoarthritis pain who were candidates for primary replacement of the hip or knee as a result of end-stage degenerative joint disease. Patients received tapentadol IR 50 mg, tapentadol IR 75 mg, oxycodone HCl IR 10 mg, or placebo every 4 to 6 hours during waking hours. The primary end point was the sum of pain intensity difference (SPID) over 5 days. Secondary efficacy end points included 2- and 10-day SPID; 2-, 5-, and 10-day total pain relief (TOTPAR); and the sum of total pain relief and pain intensity difference (SPRID). Prespecified noninferiority comparisons with oxycodone HCl IR were performed with respect to efficacy (based on 5-day SPID) and tolerability (based on incidence of the reported adverse events (AEs) of nausea and/or vomiting and constipation).. Of 666 patients originally enrolled, 659 were included in the efficacy analysis (51% male; 91% white; mean age, 61.2 years; mean weight, 97 kg). Five-day SPID was significantly lower in those treated with tapentadol IR (tapentadol IR 50 mg: least squares mean difference [LSMD] = 101.2 [95% CI, 54.58- 147.89]; tapentadol IR 75 mg: LSMD = 97.5 [95% CI, 51.81-143.26]) or oxycodone HCl IR (LSMD = 111.9 [95% CI, 66.49-157.38]) (all, P < 0.001). Tapentadol IR 50 and 75 mg and oxycodone HCl IR 10 mg were associated with significant reductions in pain intensity compared with placebo, based on 2- and 10-day SPID and 2-, 5-, and 10-day TOTPAR and SPRID (all, P < 0.001). The efficacy of tapentadol IR 50 and 75 mg was noninferior to that of oxycodone HCl IR 10 mg; however, the incidence of selected gastrointestinal AEs (nausea, vomiting, and constipation) was significantly lower for both doses of tapentadol IR compared with oxycodone HCl IR 10 mg (nominal P < 0.001). The odds ratios for nausea and/or vomiting for tapentadol IR 50 and 75 mg relative to oxycodone HCl IR 10 mg were 0.21 (95% CI, 0.128-0.339) and 0.32 (95% CI, 0.204-0.501), respectively; for constipation, the corresponding odds ratios were 0.13 (95% CI, 0.057-0.302) and 0.20 (95% CI, 0.098-0.398). Rates of treatment discontinuation were 18% (28/157) in the tapentadol IR 50-mg group, 26% (43/168) in the tapentadol IR 75-mg group, 35% (60/172) in the oxycodone HCl IR 10-mg group, and 10% (17/169) in the placebo group. In a post hoc analysis, tapentadol IR 50 mg was associated with a significantly lower incidence of treatment discontinuation than was oxycodone HCl IR 10 mg (P < 0.001).. In these patients with uncontrolled osteoarthritis pain who were awaiting joint replacement surgery, tapentadol IR 50 and 75 mg were associated with analgesia that was noninferior to that provided by oxycodone HCl IR 10 mg. Tapentadol treatment was associated with improved gastrointestinal tolerability.

Comparative Toxicity of Tapentadol and Tramadol Utilizing Data Reported to the National Poison Data System.
    The Annals of pharmacotherapy, 2015, Volume: 49, Issue:12

    Tapentadol (TAP) and tramadol (TRA) provide pain relief through similar monoaminergic and opioid agonist properties.. To compare clinical effects and medical outcomes between TAP and TRA exposures reported to the National Poison Data System of the American Association of Poison Control Centers.. A retrospective cohort study was conducted analyzing national data for single medication TAP or TRA cases reported from June 2009 through December 2011. Case outcomes, dichotomized as severe versus mild; clinical effects; and use of naloxone were compared.. There were 217 TAP and 8566 TRA cases. Significantly more severe outcomes were associated with TAP exposures for an all-age comparison (relative risk [RR] = 1.24; 95% CI = 1.04-1.48), and for the <6-year-old age group (RR = 5.76; 95% CI = 2.20-15.11). Patients with TAP exposures had significantly greater risk of respiratory depression (RR = 5.56; 95% CI = 3.50-8.81), coma (RR = 4.16; 95% CI = 2.33-7.42), drowsiness/lethargy (RR = 1.38; 95% CI = 1.15-1.66), slurred speech (RR = 3.51; 95% CI = 1.98-6.23), hallucination/delusion (RR = 7.25; 95% CI = 3.61-14.57), confusion (RR = 2.54; 95% CI = 1.56-4.13) and use of naloxone (RR = 3.80; 95% CI = 2.96-4.88). TRA exposures had significantly greater risk of seizures (RR = 7.94; 95% CI = 2.99-20.91) and vomiting (RR = 1.96; 95% CI = 1.07-3.60).. TAP was associated with significantly more toxic clinical effects and severe outcomes consistent with an opioid agonist. TRA was associated with significantly higher rates of seizures and vomiting.
