Filter by:34 adult (>18 years) cancer pain outpatients with Opioid base therapy because of pain and breakthrough pain or extreme pain on movement will be included in this prospective, randomized, double-blind crossover study. Over a period of 3 weeks patients will go through 3 treatment arms, each one lasting one week: Group A receives morphine drops and Placebo spray, Group B receives ketamine/chitosan spray nasal and Placebo drops and Group C receives morphine drops and ketamine/chitosan spray nasal. Primary endpoint is time to onset of action of intranasal ketamine compared with morphine drops. Secondary endpoint is the median numeric rating scale (NRS) improvement after using the spray or morphine or the combination of ketamine spray and morphine drops.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if an investigational dose of fentanyl sublingual spray (FSS) can help to control pain in patients with advanced cancer when given in an outpatient and inpatient setting.
Chronic pain patients who experience breakthrough pain in the background of controlled persistent pain with opioids will be followed for 3 months in order to assess the safety and titration trends in the clinical practice setting of a novel fentanyl sublingual spray (Subsys™) for the treatment of breakthrough pain.
Breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP) is a common problem in patients with cancer. Fentanyl Buccal Tablet (FBT) is used for the treatment of BTP in adults with cancer who are already receiving maintenance opioid therapy for chronic cancer pain. FBT treatment should be individually titrated to an effective dose that provides adequate analgesia and minimizes undesirable effects. To reach the safest effective dose for the individual patient as soon as possible, the dose titration process is critical. The aim of this study, conducted under pragmatic conditions in a large-scale population of cancer patients is to compare the proportion of patients reaching an effective FBT dose after titration starting with either a 100 mcg dose or a 200 mcg dose.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of AD 923 to the most widely used current treatment (MSIR) in the management of target BTP in subjects with malignancies who are taking a stable dose of background opioids. The efficacy evaluation criteria have been designed to determine whether AD 923 provides superior analgesia compared with MSIR as measured by the primary endpoint.
To assess the safety and efficacy of PMI-150 (Intranasal Ketamine) as an analgesic for the treatment of breakthrough pain in cancer patients.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of treatment with fentanyl buccal tablets on the anxiety symptoms commonly associated with chronic pain in patients with breakthrough pain (BTP). Other purposes are to assess the management of BTP, to evaluate patient functioning, and to determine any influences on the successful dose achieved.
The purpose of this Phase II study is to determine the feasibility of the dose titration and assessment protocol in the outpatient population before conducting an appropriately powered phase III study. Thus the primary purpose of this study is to determine the proportion of patients who are successfully titrated to an optimal dose of sublingual (Under the tongue) methadone and then studied at that optimal dose with successive episodes of breakthrough pain.
A multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy of CHADD (Controlled Heat-Assisted Drug Delivery) applied over a 50 mcg/hr ZR-02-01 matrix transdermal fentanyl patch for the treatment of breakthrough pain in adult patients with moderate to severe non-malignant chronic pain. The open-label study arm will last up to 12 days. The double-blind arm will last up to 15 days. Eligible patients who complete the open-label arm will be allowed to enroll in the double-blind study arm.
