A Study to Determine the Fasting Bioequivalence of Reformulated OXY Tablets and Original OxyContin® (OXY) Tablets

A Randomized, Open-Label, Single-Center, Single-Dose, Two-Way Crossover Study in Healthy Subjects to Determine the Fasting Bioequivalence of Oxycodone Tamper Resistant (OTR) 80-mg Tablets to OxyContin® 80-mg Tablets

The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence of a new oxycodone formulation (80 mg) relative to the original OxyContin® (OXY) formulation (80 mg) in the fasted state.
