CANTON, Mass., May 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc. (Nasdaq:COLL) today announced that it will present data on the use of Xtampza™ ER, an extended-release oral formulation of oxycodone with abuse-deterrent properties, in an elderly population at the American Pain Society Meeting, taking place May 11-14, 2016 in Austin, Texas.

The poster titled, “Tolerability, Safety, and Efficacy of Oxycodone DETERx in Elderly Patients ≥65 Years of Age with Chronic Low Back Pain,” is a post hoc analysis of data from 88 patients aged 65 or older, with chronic low back pain, who were treated with Xtampza ER as part of a Phase 3 randomized withdrawal, double-blind, placebo-controlled, enriched-enrollment, parallel-group, multicenter, 12-week clinical study.

Collegium also supported a poster that will be presented by Inflexxion, Inc. titled, “Relative Abuse of Abuse-deterrent Formulations via Alternative Oral Routes,” which examined prevalence of alternate oral abuse involving product manipulation (e.g., chewing) versus swallowing dosage forms whole.  Data from January 2009 through March 2015 were examined from the ASI-MV^®, a computerized, clinical interview for adults in substance abuse treatment, which captures self-report of past 30-day abuse of prescription opioid products and routes of administration.

Both posters will be presented at the American Pain Society poster session on Thursday, May 12^th.
