About this study
Official title: An Open-Label, Long-Term Safety Study to Evaluate the Safety of the ZR-02-01 Matrix Transdermal Fentanyl Patch for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Cancer Pain
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the matrix fentanyl patch ZR-02-01 in providing relief of cancer pain.
Read the detailed description
This study will evaluate the safety of the matrix fentanyl patch. The study will be conducted in opioid-tolerant patients with moderate to severe cancer pain currently taking an around-the-clock opioid. Patients will discontinue their current opioid regimen and begin using ZR-02-01 as soon as possible under the direction of the physician investigator upon entry into the study. Patient's dose of ZR-02-01 will be determined by the investigator using sponsor-provided conversion. Pain therapy will be under the supervision of the physician investigator.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Fentanyl Transdermal Matrix Patch ZR-02-01Drug
Also called ZR-02-01 matrix transdermal fentanyl patch
ZR-02-01 patch contains fentanyl dispersed in a solid matrix, and will be available in 25, 50, 75 and 100 mcg/hr patches. The patches will be worn on the chest or upper arm and an overlay will be placed over the patch. Patches (and overlays) will be replaced every 3 days by the patient and/or responsible caregiver. If a patient experiences end-of-dose-failure, the dosing interval may be changed by the physician investigator to every 2 days. The maximum dose allowed in this study is 300 mcg/hr.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Fentanyl Transdermal Matrix Patch ZR-02-01 in people with Pain and Cancer, run by ZARS Pharma Inc. at 2 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early (reason given: Based on PK data, product did not meet requirement for further development.). Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of participants with adverse events (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jun 2012.
