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.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients in the targeted European countries who receive prescriptions for naloxegol will be identified for inclusion in the naloxegol inception cohort, while patients in these countries who receive a prescription for a non-PAMORA laxative will be identified for inclusion in the concurrent reference cohort. All patients in this study will be ≥18 years of age; have ≥1 year of continuous data available; have exposure to current, regular opioid use; and have no prior exposure to PAMORA laxatives alvimopan, methylnaltrexone, or naloxone + opioid combination (including fixed-dose combinations).

Who may be able to join

  • 1. Patient receives a new prescription for naloxegol or a non-PAMORA laxative. (Note: Only non-PAMORA laxatives that are approved/marketed in the European Union at the time naloxegol is authorized are permitted.)

Who cannot join

  • Patients <18 years of age on cohort entry date
  • Patients with <1 year of continuous data available prior to cohort entry date
  • Patients without exposure to current regular opioid use defined by >30 days of opioid exposure within the 180 days prior to and inclusive of the cohort entry date
  • Patients with evidence of a cancer indicator (diagnosis or treatment) prior to cohort entry date
  • Exposure to PAMORA laxatives, alvimopan, methylnaltrexone, or naloxone + opioid combination (including fixed-dose combinations) prior to cohort entry date

About this study

Official title: An Observational Post-Authorisation Safety Study (PASS) of MOVENTIG® (Naloxegol) Among Patients Aged 18 Years and Older Treated With Opioids Chronically

This post-authorization observational safety study (PASS) monitors clinically important identified and potential risks within a cohort of patients treated with naloxegol, including the occurrence of bowel perforation, acute myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, cardiovascular (CV)-specific mortality, all-cause mortality, hypertension, opioid withdrawal, abdominal pain, diarrhea, syncope, and change in pain severity. This study is part of a broader post-marketing commitment to augment routine evaluation of the safety profile of naloxegol in clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

The overall research goal for this study is to provide additional data to characterize the safety of naloxegol in the indicated population, grouped by cancer or non-cancer, and within at-risk vulnerable non-cancer populations identified in the naloxegol risk management plan (RMP) by describing type and frequency of identified and potential risks (including bowel perforation, acute MI, stroke, CV-specific mortality, all-cause mortality, hypertension, opioid withdrawal, abdominal pain, diarrhea, syncope, and change in pain severity) in patients ≥18 years of age who were treated with opioids chronically and subsequently treated with naloxegol in routine post-authorization use.

The primary objective of the study is to assess the incidence risk of bowel perforation, acute MI, stroke, all-cause mortality, and hypertension in patients treated with naloxegol (Naloxegol Inception Cohort, (NIC)), grouped by cancer or non cancer, a Concurrent Reference Cohort (CRC) by cancer or non-cancer, and by pre-specified non-cancer sub-populations that include patients aged ≥65 years, pregnant patients, patients with prior CV, patients with prior renal or hepatic impairment, patients with concurrent methadone use, and patients with concurrent use of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A inhibitors/inducer or P-glycoprotein (Pgp) modulators.

An exploratory objective of the study is to assess the incidence risk of CV-specific mortality, opioid withdrawal, abdominal pain, diarrhea, syncope, and change in pain severity in patients treated with naloxegol (NIC) grouped by cancer and non cancer, a CRC grouped by cancer or non cancer, and by pre-specified non-cancer sub-populations that include patients aged ≥65 years, pregnant patients, patients with prior cardiovascular risk, patients with prior renal or hepatic impairment, patients with concurrent methadone use, and patients with concurrent use of CYP3A inhibitors/inducer or Pgp modulators.

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence (yes/no) of bowel perforation

    Presence of a diagnostic or procedure code

    Measured: Can occur anytime through study completion, given no fixed follow-up timepoints, which can range from 1 day to 7 years

  2. Presence (yes/no) of acute MI

    Presence of a diagnostic code for acute MI, a diagnostic code for electrocardiogram supportive of MI or cardiac enzyme lab tests with positive results

    Measured: Can occur anytime through study completion, given no fixed follow-up timepoints, which can range from 1 day to 7 years

  3. Presence (yes/no) of stroke

    Presence of a diagnostic code for cerebral, cerebellar haemorrhage or infarction, cerebral embolism, stroke or cerebrovascular accident

    Measured: Can occur anytime through study completion, given no fixed follow-up timepoints, which can range from 1 day to 7 years

  4. Presence (yes/no) of all-cause mortality

    Record of death

    Measured: Can occur anytime through study completion, given no fixed follow-up timepoints, which can range from 1 day to 7 years

  5. Presence (yes/no) of hypertension

    Presence of a hypertension (HT) diagnostic code where no record of HT or treatment for HT was observed in the baseline, or a record of change in HT treatment type or dose from baseline was observed.

    Measured: Can occur anytime through study completion, given no fixed follow-up timepoints, which can range from 1 day to 7 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Presence of (yes/no) CV-specific mortality
