About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of Targinact® Treatment With Respect to Quality of Life (Overall Health Assessment) in Chronic Severe Pain Patients Compared to Previous Analgesic Treatment: a Non-interventional, Observational Study.

This non-interventional, observational study evaluates the efficacy of Targinact with regard to quality of life in daily clinical practice in Belgium compared to the previous analgesic treatment.

Read the detailed description

Patients are treated with Targinact® according to daily clinical practice during at least 12 weeks and are monitored during study 3 visits. Parameters assessed are overall health assessment of the patient, pain relief, constipation, use of laxatives, use of analgesic rescue medication, use of concomitant medication, quality of life and safety of Targinact® treatment. These parameters, except for safety assessment, are compared between Targinact® treatment and previous analgesic treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess the efficacy of Targinact® treatment

    The primary parameter to assess the efficacy of Targinact® treatment with respect to the quality of life (overall health assessment/EQ-VAS) in patients with chronic severe pain compared to previous analgesic treatment is the absolute change in overall health score (0-100) attributed by patients during Targinact® treatment compared to previous analgesic treatment.

    During each visit, patients will be asked to score their overall health state between 0 (worst health state imaginable) and 100 (best health state imaginable). The absolute changes in overall health assessment from baseline at V2 and V3 will be used to compare health assessment during Targinact® treatment.

    Measured: 12 weeks

    To assess the use of analgesic rescue medication during Targinact® treatment compared to previous analgesic treatment (by physician)

  6. To assess safety of Targinact® treatment (by physician)

    Safety will be assessed by documentation of adverse events, collected via spontaneous reports and patient documentation.

    Measured: 12 weeks
