A Study to Assess Bioequivalence of a New Tapentadol Extended-Release 250-mg Tablet With Respect to a Tapentadol Extended-Release 250-mg Tablet in Healthy Participants
Completed · Phase 1
Conditions studied: Healthy
In brief
The purpose of this study is to evaluate bioequivalence (scientific basis on which drugs with the same active ingredient(s) are compared) of a new tapentadol extended-release (ER) 250-mg tamper-resistant formulation (TRF) tablet to the current tapentadol ER 250-mg prolonged-release formulation 2 (PR2) tablet in healthy participants under fasted conditions.
