About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Multicentre Study to Demonstrate Improvement in Symptoms of Constipation in Subjects With Non-malignant Pain Taking Oxycodone Equivalent of >20 mg/Day and <50 mg/Day as Oxycodone/Naloxone Prolonged Release Compared to Subjects Taking Oxycodone Prolonged Release Tablets Alone.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that subjects with moderate to severe non-malignant pain taking oxycodone/naloxone prolonged release tablets have improvement in symptoms of constipation compared to subjects taking oxycodone prolonged release tablets alone.

Read the detailed description

Patients with a documented history of moderate to severe non-malignant pain that require around the clock opioid therapy will be randomised to an oxycodone or an oxycodone-naloxone treatment arm to assess the safety and efficacy of oxycodone/naloxone prolonged release compared to oxycodone prolonged-release in relieving opioid-related constipation.
