Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Efficacy and Safety Study of Fentanyl (JNS020QD) in Participants With Cancer Pain (NCT NCT00641667)

NCT ID: NCT00641667

Last Updated: 2013-06-07

Results Overview

Pain control was assessed based on change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and number of daily rescue doses during 3 days before completion of study drug from 3 days before start of study drug. For VAS score, a difference of less than or equal to +15 millimeter (mm) and for rescue doses, a difference of less than or equal to 1 was considered significant to achieve pain control. Pain Intensity VAS ranged from 0 mm (no pain) to 100 mm (severest pain conceivable) and rescue dose was defined as dose of fast-acting opioid analgesic (except fentanyl preparations) used for lack of analgesic effect.

Fentanyl
Fentanyl 1-day application transdermal patch (patch containing a drug that was put on the skin so the drug entered the body through the skin) releasing the drug at the rate of 12.5 microgram per hour (mcg/hr) to 100 mcg/hr applied once daily, and maintained for 2 days. Dose escalation or reduction was as per Investigator's discretion (maximum applied dose was 300 mcg/hr) up to Day 7 and then dose was fixed for next 3 days that is Day 10 (end of treatment period).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 10 or early discontinuation (ED)

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) population included all participants who applied at least 1 study drug patch and had 1 VAS assessment performed after application of the study drug.

Pain control was assessed based on change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and number of daily rescue doses during 3 days before completion of study drug from 3 days before start of study drug. For VAS score, a difference of less than or equal to +15 millimeter (mm) and for rescue doses, a difference of less than or equal to 1 was considered significant to achieve pain control. Pain Intensity VAS ranged from 0 mm (no pain) to 100 mm (severest pain conceivable) and rescue dose was defined as dose of fast-acting opioid analgesic (except fentanyl preparations) used for lack of analgesic effect.

Population: The FAS population included all participants who applied at least 1 study drug patch and had 1 VAS assessment performed after application of the study drug. 'n' signifies those participants who were evaluable for this measure at given time points.

Participants were asked to assess their satisfaction with respect to the therapeutic efficacy (effectiveness) of the study drug on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 to 5, where 1 = extremely satisfied, 2 = satisfied, 3 = neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, 4 = dissatisfied and 5 = extremely dissatisfied.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 (pre-application), Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8, Day 9, Day 10 or ED

Population: The FAS population included all participants who applied at least 1 study drug patch and had 1 VAS assessment performed after application of the study drug. 'n' signifies those participants who were evaluable for this measure at given time points.

Participants were asked to assess their resting pain intensity (severity of pain) on a 100-mm VAS with the left edge (0 mm) defined as "no pain" and the right edge (100 mm) defined as "severest pain conceivable".

Population: The FAS population included all participants who applied at least 1 study drug patch and had 1 VAS assessment performed after application of the study drug. 'n' signifies those participants who were evaluable for this measure at given time points.

Rescue dose was defined as the dose of a fast-acting opioid analgesic (except fentanyl preparations) given in case of breakthrough pain or lack of analgesic effect.
