Filter by:The purpose of this observational study is: To observe the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Abstral ODT for the alleviation of breakthrough cancer pain in Korean patients with various cancers in real-world clinical settings and supplement and expand the previous cross-sectional survey results.
Primary Objective: To determine the feasible dose range of Painkyl® required for Taiwanese population. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of Painkyl® by calculating squared mean of pain intensity difference at 30 minutes after taking Painkyl® (SPID30, an 11-point scale). To evaluate subjects' satisfaction by conducting global evaluation of medication performance (a 5-point categorical scale). To identify percentage of episodes requiring rescue medication during maintenance treatment period. To evaluate the safety data of Painkyl® for breakthrough pain.
The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of breakthrough cancer pain and characterize breakthrough cancer pain in an unselected, representative cohort of cancer outpatients with or without pain who attend consultations.
The BTP (Breakthrough pain)was defined as "a transient exacerbation of pain that occurs either spontaneously, or in relation to a specific predictable or unpredictable trigger, despite relatively stable and adequately controlled background pain". The BTP is a common clinical features in patients with cancer pain (BTcP: breakthrough cancer pain). The prevalence of BTcP is equal to 56%. Currently, the investigators tend to recognize the idiopathic/spontaneous or accident BTcP in the three sub-types: voluntary, non- voluntary and procedural. The diagnosis of BTCP is not always easy because in the cancer patient is normal to observe changes in the intensity of pain during the day, so it is necessary to differentiate slight fluctuations from the presence of real episodes of BTCP, for which is necessary to use a rescue treatment adjusted. In the study will be proposed the use of a diagnostic algorithm, present in the literature, to perform the diagnosis of BTCP. In the presence of BTCP, is important both a correct controlled background pain with major opioids, which can reduce the number and the intensity of the painful episodes, both implement an adjunctive therapy, called "rescue", to be administered at the time which takes over the painful episode using, in this case, an opioid greater.
This Observational Registry study is designed to collect self-reported Transmucosal Immediate Release Fentanyl (TIRF) Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Access program-enrolled patient experience with breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP) as a result of treatment with Abstral® through the use of Quality of Life and pain measurement tools administered via questionnaire.
The aim of this study is to describe the use of Instanyl® (Intranasal fentanyl spray) in the treatment of breakthrough pain (BTP) in cancer patients by success of dose titration and distribution of dose strength. Data will be collected at three different time points over a 3 month period.
