Clinical Details

Official title: Use of Durogesic D-TRANS in Cancer Pain Patients With Inadequately Controlled Pain Relief From Weak Opioids

Study design: Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Percentage of Participants Satisfied With Pain Treatment

Secondary outcome: Difference in Pain Intensity Before and After Administration of (TTS)-Fentanyl D-trans

Detailed description: This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single-arm, multicenter (conducted in more than one hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study), prospective (study following participants forward in time) study conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of TTS-fentanyl D-trans in cancer participants of Korea with inadequately controlled pain by non-narcotic analgesics and for participant's satisfaction. The participants will receive the initial dose of TTS-fentanyl D-trans patch releasing 12 micrograms per hour (12 mcg/hr) of fentanyl and will be increased by 12 mcg/hr or 25 mcg/hr, every 3 days depending on the participant's pain control. Efficacy will primarily be evaluated by participant's satisfaction with pain treatment. Participant's safety will be monitored throughout the study.
