The INFUSE Morphine Study: Use of Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) to Enhance the Absorption of Subcutaneously Administered Morphine in Patients with Advanced Illness
Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, 10/13/09
Thomas JR et al. – This Phase IIIB, double–blind, randomized, placebo–controlled crossover study compared the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of morphine administered SC with and without 150U of recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) with those of intravenous (IV) morphine administration in 13 patients in a hospice or palliative care setting...Morphine plus rHuPH20 appeared to be safe and well tolerated. In patients requiring opioid analgesia, SC morphine plus rHuPH20 provides pharmacokinetic characteristics that are superior to those of SC morphine alone. These positive results warrant further studies on analgesic efficacy of morphine delivered with rHuPH20.
