What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Duration Adjusted Average Change (DAAC) From Baseline in Daily Worst Pain, Fixed Dosing Date to Day 28

    DAAC from baseline based on Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score for Worst Pain at Reference site from the last day dose adjustment was needed (fixed dosing date) to day 28. DAAC defined as area under the curve (AUC) of change in worst pain divided by pain measurement duration. Pain rated on an 11 point scale ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Change was week x minus baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Fixed Dosing Date to Day 28 or Early Termination (ET)

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. DAAC From Baseline in Daily Worst Pain, Days 1 Through 28

    DAAC from baseline in the daily worst pain based on the NRS Worst Pain at Reference Site score collected from participant's daily diary. Pain rated on an 11 point scale ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). DAAC defined as AUC of daily worst pain score divided by pain measurement duration. Change was week x minus baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Days 1 through 28 or ET

  2. DAAC From Baseline in Daily Worst Pain, Day 1 to End of Dose Adjustment

    DAAC from baseline in the daily worst pain based on the NRS Worst Pain at Reference Site score collected from participant's daily diary. Pain rated on an 11 point scale ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). DAAC defined as AUC of daily worst pain score divided by pain measurement duration. Change was week x minus baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 1 to End of Dose Adjustment or ET

  3. DAAC From Baseline in Daily Worst Pain 14 Days After Fixed Dosing Date Up to Day 28

    DAAC from baseline in the daily worst pain based on the NRS Worst Pain at Reference Site score collected from participant's daily diary 14 days after dosing stabilized (fixed dosing date) up to Day 28. Pain rated on an 11 point scale ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). DAAC defined as AUC of daily worst pain score divided by pain measurement duration. Change was week x minus baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, 14 Days After Fixed Dosing Date up to Day 28 or ET

  4. Change From Baseline in Modified Brief Pain Inventory (mBPI-sf) Pain Severity Index Score at Week 4

    m-BPI-sf: participant rated 11-point Likert rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain possible). Pain severity index was the mean of item scores 1, 2, 3, and 4 (worst, least, average and current pain scores). Change was scores at observation minus scores at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4 or ET

  5. Change From Baseline in mBPI-sf Interference Index Score at Week 4

    m-BPI-sf: participant-rated 11 point Likert rating scale ranging from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely intereres) with functional activities (general activity, mood, walking ability, relations with other people, sleep, normal work, and enjoyment of life) in past 24 hours. Change was score at each observation minus baseline score.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4 or ET

  6. Change From Baseline in Average Pain Scores at Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4

    Change from baseline in daily average pain score NRS 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine) for pain intensity over past 24 hours recorded every evening before bedtime. Change was week x average minus baseline average.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4 or ET

  7. Change From Baseline in Total Daily Dose of Opioids Day 0 Through Day 28

    Change from baseline in total daily dose of opioids immediate release (IR), sustained release (SR) formulations separately and combined.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 0 through Day 28 or ET

  8. Change From Pre-Baseline in Total Daily Dose of Morphine Equivalents Day 0 Through Day 28

    IR and SR formulations separately and combined. Change was day x minus baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 0 through Day 28 or ET

  9. Change From Baseline in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at Week 4

    HADS: participant rated questionnaire with 2 subscales. HADS-Anxiety assessed generalized anxiety (anxious mood/ restlessness/ anxious thoughts/panic attacks); HADS-Depression assessed lost interest/diminished pleasure response (lowering of hedonic tone). Each subscale has 7 items which ranged from 0 (no presence of anxiety or depression) to 3 (severe feeling anxiety/depression). Total 0-21 for each subscale; higher score indicates greater severity of anxiety and depression symptoms. Change was week x minus baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4 or ET

  10. Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)

    PGIC: participant rated instrument to measure participant's change in overall status on a 7-point scale; range from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).

    Measured: Weeks 2 and 4 or ET

  11. Change From Baseline in Opioid-Related Symptoms Distress Scale (OR-SDS) at Day 14 and Day 28

    OR-SDS included OR-SDS individual items by dimension of frequency (rarely to almost constantly), severity (slight to very severe), and degree of bother (not at all to very much), number of episodes of retching/vomiting, OR-SDS dimension composite and overall composite scores. Change was scores at occurance minus score at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 14, Day 28 or ET

  12. Change From Baseline in Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance (ECOG) Status Scale at Day 28

    ECOG - assessed disease progression and how disease affected the daily living abilities of the participant and determined appropriate treatment and prognosis. Graded 0 (fully active able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restrictions) to 5 (dead). Change was day 28 minus baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 28 or ET

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 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 20 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 55 sites in United States, Czechia, Poland, Hungary, Russia and 14 more countries. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Sep 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Duration Adjusted Average Change (DAAC) From Baseline in Daily Worst Pain, Fixed Dosing Date to Day 28 (time frame: Baseline, Fixed Dosing Date to Day 28 or Early Termination (ET)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00381095, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
