Summary

The primary objective of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of hydromorphone oral solution in pediatric subjects aged 28 days to 16 years inclusive. The secondary objectives are to characterize the safety and efficacy of hydromorphone oral solution in pediatric subjects aged 28 days to 16 years inclusive.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Pediatric subjects aged 28 days to 16 years,
  • Prospective subjects anticipated to have postoperative pain requiring oral opioid analgesics for at least 24 hours (up to 48 hours) following postoperative parenteral analgesia (up to 48 hours),
  • Prospective subjects have received no more than a total of 7 doses of opioids in the 30 days prior to surgery.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Prospective subjects with clinically significant hepatic or renal dysfunction and impaired cardiac and/or respiratory reserve,
  • Prospective subjects who have received opioid analgesic therapy other than hydromorphone or morphine sulfate during the up to 48-hour postoperative period prior to administration of first dose of oral hydromorphone,
  • Prospective subjects who have received regional anesthetic blockade OR analgesic treatment with nonopioid medication within 6 hours prior to administration of first dose of oral hydromorphone.

Other protocol-specific inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
