Safety and Pharmacokinetic Study of ALO-02 in Children Ages 7-17 With Pain

An Open-label Study To Evaluate The Pharmacokinetics And Safety Of Alo-02 (Oxycodone Hydrochloride And Naltrexone Hydrochloride) Extended-release Capsules In Children And Adolescents 7-17 Years Of Age Who Require Opioid Analgesia

Safety and pharmacokinetics of an abuse-deterrent, extended-release formulation of oxycodone hydrochloride with a sequestered naltrexone core in children 7-17 with moderate-severe pain.

This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm study designed to characterize the PK and to evaluate the safety of ALO-02 in children and adolescents 7 to 17 years of age who require opioid analgesia for moderate-to-severe pain. The study consists of 4 study periods (screening, titration, maintenance, follow-up) occurring over a period of up to 9 weeks. The study will enroll approximately 140 children and adolescents with at least 100 subjects once stabilized during the titration period to complete a minimum of 2 of the 4 weeks study duration in the maintenance period to satisfy the PK endpoint. A safety follow-up visit is required at 1 week post-last dose.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Children 7-17 with moderate to severe pain requiring around the clock treatment with an opioid analgesic.
• Be an experienced opioid user, defined as any subject treated with opioid therapy, equivalent or equal to > 6 mg per day of oxycodone, for a period of 3 consecutive days immediately prior to first day of dosing.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) for suicidal ideation and behavior in past year.
• Hypersensitivity to morphine, naltrexone.
• A life expectancy (assessed by investigator) of less than 6 months or is no longer capable of taking medication orally.
• Undergone surgery within 3 days prior to the first day of dosing.
