Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Main Inclusion Criteria:

  • The subject is a male or female, at least 18 years of age.
  • The subject has a malignancy, is receiving opioid therapy for his or her underlying persistent cancer pain, and is tolerant to the opioid therapy.
  • The subject typically has 2 to 6 episodes of target BTP per day that require treatment.
  • The subject has a life expectancy of >3 months.
  • The subject or his or her caregiver has easy, reliable access to a telephone.

Main Exclusion Criteria:

  • The subject is a female who is pregnant or lactating.
  • The subject has any respiratory or cardiac condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may be clinically worsened by opioids.
  • The subject has any allergy to the AD 923 product or excipients, namely: fentanyl, dehydrated alcohol, menthol, saccharin, and citrate buffer; or to the MSIR product excipients, namely: morphine sulphate, lactose (anhydrous), pregelatinized maize starch, povidone, purified water, magnesium stearate, talc, and tablet coatings.
  • The subject has any neurological or psychiatric disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise data collection.
  • The subject has uncontrolled or rapidly escalating pain.
  • The subject has any significant laboratory test results that, in the opinion of the investigator, will compromise subject safety or the conduct of the study.
  • The subject has plans to undergo chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery during the treatment period. The exception is that subjects may continue chemotherapy over the study period, provided it is not expected to alter the pain state or response to pain medication.

About this study

Official title: A Multicentre, Randomised, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Crossover Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of AD 923 (Fentanyl Sublingual) in Comparison to Morphine Sulphate Immediate Release (MSIR) for the Treatment of Breakthrough Pain in Subjects With Malignancies

Purpose:

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of AD 923 to the most widely used current treatment (MSIR) in the management of target BTP in subjects with malignancies who are taking a stable dose of background opioids. The efficacy evaluation criteria have been designed to determine whether AD 923 provides superior analgesia compared with MSIR as measured by the primary endpoint.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of AD 923 in comparison to MSIR in the management of breakthrough pain in subjects with malignancies who are taking a stable dose of background opioids.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To assess the safety and tolerability of AD 923 in the management of breakthrough pain in subjects with malignancies who are taking a stable dose of background opioids.

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted13 Mar 2008 (estimated)
  2. Study startFeb 2008

Why it stopped: Termination is due to a combination of a device defect potentially impacting the quality of the AD 923 IMP and a major change in corporate strategy.

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: Termination is due to a combination of a device defect potentially impacting the quality of the AD 923 IMP and a major change in corporate strategy.). 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?

To evaluate the efficacy of AD 923 in comparison to MSIR in the management of breakthrough pain in subjects with malignancies who are taking a stable dose of background opioids.. 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.
