Popis: ObjectiveTo evaluate abuse, misuse, and diversion of Xtampza ER, an extended-release (ER) abuse-deterrent formulation (ADF) of oxycodone.MethodsAbuse, misuse, and diversion of Xtampza ER were assessed using Researched Abuse, Diversion and Addiction-Related Surveillance (RADARS) System data sources. Xtampza ER was compared with immediate-release (IR) oxycodone, other ADF ER products combined, and non-ADF ER products combined.ResultsXtampza ER prescriptions increased 50-fold during the study period. In contrast, cases from poison centers, substance abuse treatment centers, and diversion were infrequent and did not increase. Adjusted for prescriptions dispensed, poison center exposures were greater for IR oxycodone (rate ratio [RR] = 2.3, P = 0.008), other ADF ER opioids (RR = 5.2, P ConclusionXtampza ER abuse, misuse, and diversion and tampering are low relative to other prescription opioid analgesics. Abuse and diversion did not increase over the study period.
