A Study of JNS020QD in Patients With Chronic Pain

Chronic Pain Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase 3 Study of JNS020QD in Patients With Chronic Pain

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JNS020QD in patients with moderate to severe chronic pain who switched from opioid analgesics, as well as the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment (52 weeks) after switching to JNS020QD.

Clinical Trial Description

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JNS020QD in patients with moderate to severe chronic pain who are switching from opioid analgesics. It will also evaluate the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment (52 weeks) after switching to JNS020QD. The study will enroll patients with moderate to severe chronic pain which is adequately controlled with a regular treatment with an opioid analgesic agent other than the study drug because these patients are considered appropriate to investigate the conversion ratio in switching from JNS020QD to other opioid analgesics, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the study drug. This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), uncontrolled (the study does not involve a control treatment), multicenter study. This study consists of Screening period (1 to 2 weeks), Period I (3-week titration period+ 1-week maintenance period), Period II (48 weeks long-term treatment period), tapering period (if required, 0 to 6 weeks), and follow-up period (1 week). JNS020QD is a transdermal system in which fentanyl base is incorporated directly into a single layer of pressure-sensitive high polymerized adhesive, and is changed once a day (every 24 hours). JNS020QD is available in 5 formulations containing fentanyl 0.84 mg, 1.7 mg, 3.4 mg, 5 mg, or 6.7 mg per system.. The study drug patch will be applied to the breast, abdomen, upper arm, femoral region, etc. exchanged daily and for consecutive 52 weeks. ;
