About this study

Official title: An Observational Post-Authorization Safety Study (PASS) of MOVENTIG® (Naloxegol) Drug Utilization in Selected European Populations

This post-authorization observational safety study determines the characteristics of patients prescribed naloxegol at time of first prescription and treatment patterns of naloxegol in follow-up in the United Kingdom (UK), Norway, Sweden, and Germany.

Read the detailed description

The overall research questions for this study are: 1) What are the demographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics (including dose) at baseline of patients prescribed naloxegol in real-world practice (including the use of naloxegol in non-indicated populations)? and 2) What are the treatment patterns of naloxegol utilization during follow-up?

Primary objectives:

  1. To describe the characteristics of patients prescribed naloxegol at time of first prescription (demographics, targeted comorbidities, targeted comedications, provider characteristics, and indication characteristics).
  2. To describe any of the following treatment patterns:
  • Discontinuation of naloxegol (permanently during the observation period)
  • Switching from naloxegol to other drug(s) potentially used by patients with opioid induced constipation (OIC)
  • Prescription of other drug(s) potentially used by patients with OIC in the same period when naloxegol is prescribed (augmentation)
  • Restart in the prescription of naloxegol (after temporary discontinuation or treatment holiday)
  • Continuous treatment with naloxegol during the study period
  • Change in dosing

Exploratory objective:

  1. To identify predictors of length of naloxegol use

What is being measured

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

  1. discontinuation

    Presence (yes/no) of a patient discontinuing naloxegol (i.e. permanently during the observation period)

    Measured: can occur anytime through study completion, given no fixed follow-up timepoints, which can range from 1 day to 3 years

  2. Switching

    Presence (yes/no) of a patient switching from naloxegol to other drug(s) potentially used by patients with opioid induced constipation (OIC)

    Measured: can occur anytime through study completion, given no fixed follow-up timepoints, which can range from 1 day to 3 years

  3. Augmentation

    Presence (yes/no) of a patient augmenting therapy with a prescription of other drug(s) potentially used by patients with OIC in the same period when naloxegol is prescribed

    Measured: can occur anytime through study completion, given no fixed follow-up timepoints, which can range from 1 day to 3 years

  4. Restart

    Presence (yes/no) of a patient restarting the prescription of naloxegol (after temporary discontinuation or treatment holiday)

    Measured: can occur anytime through study completion, given no fixed follow-up timepoints, which can range from 1 day to 3 years

  5. Continuous Use

    Presence (yes/no) of a patient continuously treated with naloxegol during the study period

    Measured: can occur anytime through study completion, given no fixed follow-up timepoints, which can range from 1 day to 3 years

  6. Dose Change

    Presence (yes/no) of a patient changing dosing of naloxegol

    Measured: can occur anytime through study completion, given no fixed follow-up timepoints, which can range from 1 day to 3 years
