Study population: Patients suffering from cancer pain who visit the study sites during study and eligible to be treated with OROS hydromorphone at the discretion of the investigator.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who are in need OROS hydromorphone to relieve cancer pain

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multi-center, Non-interventional Study to Investigate Clinical Usefulness of Hydromorphone OROS in Korean Cancer Patients

This study aims to collect clinical information and to examine the usefulness and safety of ORal Osmotic System Hydromorphone in Korean cancer patients. The decision to treat patients with drug is as per physician discretion and that doses are determined based upon approved labeling recommendations and physician discretion.

Read the detailed description

The primary purpose of this observational study is to collect clinical data on cancer pain control using OROS (ORal Osmotic Active System) hydromorphone and to investigate the clinical usefulness of OROS hydromorphone for Korean cancer patients. Information on the effectiveness of cancer pain control and any adverse events reported by those patients using OROS Hydromorphone will be reported. In addition, clinical usefulness of OROS hydromorphone will be evaluated through assessing sleep disturbance due to pain, breakthrough pain, and end-of-dose failure before and after the study drug administration and examining the patient's satisfaction with study drug and the investigator's global assessment. This is a multi-center, open-label, prospective, exploratory, and observational study with approximately 770 patients. Efficacy endpoints will be analyzed to examine the difference between before and after the treatment. Since this is an observational study under the condition of routine practice, OROS Hydromorphone dosage should be adjusted at the discretion of the investigator, based on patient response. It is recommended that the dosage be conservative at first and adjusted appropriately considering the adverse events and analgesic effect for all the patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in pain intensity score (where 0 is worst and 10 is best) as measured on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) from baseline to Day 36

    Measured: Between Visit 1 (day 1) and the last visit (day 29 ± 7: from day 22 to day 36)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in sleep disturbance

    Measured: between Visit 1 (DAY 1) and the last visit (DAY29 ± 7: from 22 day to 36 day))

  2. Breakthrough pain experience

    Measured: between Visit 1 (DAY 1) and the last visit (DAY29 ± 7: from 22 day to 36 day))

  3. End-of-dose failure experience

    Measured: between Visit 1 (DAY 1) and the last visit (DAY29 ± 7: from 22 day to 36 day))

  4. Patient satisfaction with study drug and detailed reason

    Measured: at the last visit (DAY29 ± 7: from 22 day to 36 day))

  5. Investigator's global assessment

    Measured: the last visit (DAY29 ± 7: from 22 day to 36 day)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pain, run by Janssen Korea, Ltd., Korea.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change in pain intensity score (where 0 is worst and 10 is best) as measured on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) from baseline to Day 36 (time frame: Between Visit 1 (day 1) and the last visit (day 29 ± 7: from day 22 to day 36)). 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 NCT01273454, 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.

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 4 Sep 2013.
