| Subcontractor | Department of Health and Human Services | THIS STUDY'S OVERALL OBJECTIVE IS TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF DIFFERENT PACKAGING COMPONENTS
OF PACKAGED OPIOIDS ON OPIOID USE AS EXPERIENCED BY PATIENTS, PRESCRIBERS AND PHARMACISTS.
SUCH DATA CAN BE USED TO OPTIMIZE PACKAGING AND LABELING DESIGN, HELP PATIENTS AND
CAREGIVERS UTILIZE THEIR MEDICATION AND PACKAGING CORRECTLY, AND IMPROVE PRESCRIBING AND
DISPENSING EXPERIENCES. THE CENTRAL HYPOTHESIS IS THAT PACKAGES WITH COMBINED FEATURES OF
AN EASY-TO-USE CR COMPONENT WITH CLEAR AND HIGHLIGHTED MEDICATION SAFETY INFORMATION, QR
CODES/WEBSITE INFORMATION, AND CUEING ELEMENTS WILL YIELD THE MOST FAVORABLE USE EXPERIENCE
FOR PATIENTS, PRESCRIBERS, AND PHARMACISTS -- OVER DESIGNS MISSING ONE OR MORE OF THESE
DESIRABLE COMPONENTS. PRIMARY OUTCOMES WILL BE THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF TABLETS PRESCRIBED
AND USED FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT AND PATIENT SATISFACTION. SECONDARY OUTCOMES WILL EXAMINE
THE ADEQUACY OF PAIN CONTROL, OPIOID KNOWLEDGE, AND THE PRESCRIBER AND PHARMACIST SERVICE
EXPERIENCE.
AIM 1: TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DIFFERENT OPIOID PACKAGES WITH DIFFERENT CR DESIGNS,
PATIENT EDUCATION MESSAGES, AND CALENDAR COMPONENTS ON PRESCRIBING, DISPENSING, AND
PATIENT USE OF OXYCODONE AMONG ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND DENTAL PATIENTS RECEIVING POSTOPERATIVE
OUTPATIENT OXYCODONE FOR POST-SURGICAL PAIN MANAGEMENT.
THIS STUDY EMPLOYS THE MULTIPHASE OPTIMIZATION STRATEGY (MOST), AN INNOVATIVE,
ENGINEERING-INSPIRED METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK THAT HAS BEEN USED TO OPTIMIZE
MULTICOMPONENT BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS. THE GOAL IS TO IDENTIFY THE OPTIMAL LEVEL OF EACH
FEATURE USED TO PACKAGE THE THIS FINAL OPTIMIZED INTERVENTION CAN THEN BE COMPARED TO USUAL
CARE IN A FUTURE STANDARD RCT. USING THE MOST FRAMEWORK, A RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED
EXPERIMENTAL CROSSOVER DESIGN INVOLVING A 2 (CR TYPE) X 2 (PATIENT EDUCATION DESIGN) X 2
(QR CODE & WEBSITE LINK) X 2 (CALENDAR DESIGN), A FRACTIONAL FACTORIAL DESIGN WILL BE
IMPLEMENTED. CR DESIGNS WILL INVOLVE A RECLOSEABLE EXTERNAL LOCKING CARTON COMPARED TO
BLISTER PACKAGING. THE PATIENT EDUCATION DESIGN CONDITION WILL INVOLVE TWO DIFFERENT
APPROACHES IN PRESENTING SIMILAR CONTENT ON THE PACKAGING€„¢S BILLBOARD SPACE. THE PACKAGING
CONDITIONS WILL ALSO BE MODIFIED BY HAVING A QR CODE AND WEBSITE LINK OR NOT, AND HAVING
CALENDAR/NUMBERED CAVITIES OR NOT. ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS AND DENTISTS WILL BE RANDOMLY
ASSIGNED TO ONE OF EIGHT EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS DURING FIRST PHASE OF STUDY. PATIENTS OF THE
ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY OR DENTAL PRESCRIBER WILL THEN BE INCLUDED IN THE STUDY AND WILL RECEIVE THE
CLINICIAN€„¢S DESIGNATED PACKAGING CONDITION. THIS WILL YIELD THE FOLLOWING EXPERIMENTAL
CONDITIONS. DURING THE SECOND PHASE OF THE STUDY, ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS AND DENTISTS WILL BE
RANDOMIZED TO A DIFFERENT DESIGN THEY WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY IN PHASE 1.
THE ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY (DR. COYNER) AND DENTAL MEDICINE (DR. CHATAH) INVESTIGATORS AND
THEIR ASSOCIATED RESEARCH STAFF WILL CARRY OUT THE PROPOSED TRIAL TO DETERMINE THE OPTIMAL
PACKAGING FOR EACH AREA (ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND DENTAL MEDICINE).
PATIENTS, PRESCRIBERS, AND PHARMACISTS.
TO ASSESS USER EXPERIENCE FROM THE PRESCRIBER, PHARMACIST AND PATIENT€„¢S PERSPECTIVES, INDEPTH
SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WITH THE STUDY€„¢S ORTHOPAEDIC OR DENTAL PRESCRIBER, STUDY
PHARMACISTS, AND A RANDOM SAMPLE OF PATIENT USERS ACROSS THE DIFFERENT DESIGN TYPES. THESE
INTERVIEWS WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY A MAXIMUM OF 30 MINUTES IN LENGTH. PRESCRIBER INTERVIEWS
WILL EXPLORE THEMES AROUND THE EASE AND CONVENIENCE OF PRESCRIBING USING THE DESIGN TYPE
THEY WERE RANDOMIZED TO PRESCRIBE, HOW THE DESIGN TYPE AFFECTED PATIENT COMMUNICATIONS
ABOUT LIMITED PRESCRIBING AMOUNTS AND HOW TO USE MEDICATION, AND EXPLORE ANY DIFFERENCES IN
HOW THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PACKAGING TYPE. PHARMACIST INTERVIEWS WILL IDENTIFY THEMES AROUND
THE EASE AND CONVENIENCE OF DISPENSING THE DIFFERENT PACKAGING TYPES BOTH AS IT RELATES TO
PREPARING THE PRODUCT FOR DISPENSING, AND COUNSELING THE PATIENT. 152771177 Parent award context Parent award agency: Department of Health and Human Services · Food and Drug Administration Parent award NAICS: 541990 Parent award performance state: MD Parent award description: COMPARATIVE TRIAL OF DIFFERENT PACKAGING COMPONENTS OF AN OPIOID PACKAGING SOLUTION ON OPIOID SAFETY OUTCOMES View parent award on USAspending | — | $296,264 | Jan 16, 2024 | — – — |
