NCT ID: NCT02426697

Last Updated: 2026-01-02

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE3
• Total Enrollment: 39 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2015-05-22

Brief Summary

The clinical trial is a stage 3 study to determine the role of fentanyl transmucosal in the prevention of pain induced by mobilization in patients receiving a bone metastasis radiation for bone metastasis irradiations

Detailed Description

Participation to the trial will be proposed to the patient by the investigator in charge of the analgesic irradiation during the preliminary scanner session that will be held before radiotherapy session(s). Patients with a VAS≤ 3 will be excluded.

PecFent and Placebo will be delivered by Archimedes Pharma When starting the radiotherapy session(s) (2 days after the preliminary scanner session), the medic will collect the patient signed informed consent, will deliver the treatment 1 dose of fentanyl transmucosal (Pecfent® ) 100µg in naive patients or 1 dose of Pecfent® 200µg in patient with a stable opioid background pain treatment or placebo) and will collect pain intensity value with a patient VAS collected before and at the end of the radiotherapy session. Finally patient & radiotherapists global satisfaction will be collected An assessment a week the end of the radiotherapy session will be assessed by investigator consisting in a Patient global satisfaction

Study follow up:

Patients will receive a phone call a week after the radiotherapy session to collect patient global satisfaction score related with the global management of the radiotherapy session

Conditions

Bone Metastasis

Study Groups

Pecfent

Patients will receive 100 µg of transmucosal Pecfent before radiotherapy session (or 200 µg in patients with a stable opioid background pain treatment)

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

fentanyl transmucosal

Intervention Type: DRUG

Participation to the trial will be proposed to the patient by the investigator in charge of the analgesic irradiation during preliminary scanner session. When starting the radiotherapy session, investigator will collect the signed inform consent form, deliver the treatment, will collect pain intensity value using VAS (before and after the radiotherapy session).

Placebo

Patients will receive 100 µg of transmucosal placebo before radiotherapy session or 200 µg in patients with a stable opioid background pain treatment)

Group Type: PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type: DRUG

Participation to the trial will be proposed to the patient by the investigator in charge of the analgesic irradiation during preliminary scanner session. When starting the radiotherapy session, investigator will collect the signed inform consent form, deliver the treatment, will collect pain intensity value using VAS (before and after the radiotherapy session).
