Participant Flow

Recruitment period was first patient screened in December 2005 to last patient screened in November 2008. Patients were recruited from Medical Institutions in the US.

Patients with stable cancer-related pain receiving stable, fixed-schedule oral opioid regimen. Patients were not permitted to have 2 consecutive days without at least 1 episode of BTcP. This regimen was for 14 days prior to screening and was expected to remain unchanged for the titration period. Patients with ulcerative mucositis were permitted.
