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

  1. Percentage of responders after Targinact treatment compared to the previous treatment with prolonged release oxycodone.

    A responder is defined as a patient who shows no worsening of pain (pain score has increased ≤ 1 unit on a 11-points pain NRS) at V3/the last visit compared to V1 or has a NRS ≤4 on a 11-points pain NRS at V3/the last visit AND has a reduction in BFI ≥ 12 units at V3/the last visit compared to V1 or has a BFI ≤30 at V3/ the last visit.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To assess laxative use during Targinact® treatment compared to previous PR oxycodone treatment (by physician)
