Phase II Clinical Study of KW-2246 in Patients With Cancer Pain - Maintenance Switch Study in Oral Morphine or Oral Oxycodone-treated Patients


This study is a Phase II open-label study to investigate, using the continual reassessment
method procedure by pain intensity and safety as indicators, the recommended conversion
ratio (oral morphine dose to KW-2246) when switching oral morphine or oxycodone to KW-2246
in cancer patients who have been maintained on oral morphine or oral oxycodone for pain and
to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KW-2246.


Inclusion Criteria:



1. Provide written informed consent to participate in the study.

2. Be able to be hospitalized.

3. Between the ages of 20 and 80 years (inclusive) at the time of giving written
informed consent.

4. Have regularly received oral morphine or oral oxycodone at an oral morphine
equivalent dose of 20 to 120 mg/day for at least 2 days before study entry, AND not
have required any rescue dose between regular doses.

5. Not have experienced intolerable toxicity for 2 days before study entry.

6. Have cancer that is in stable condition at study entry and expected to remain stable
during the KW-2246 treatment period.

7. Have a life expectancy of at least 1 month after the start of KW-2246 administration.

8. Considered to be able to keep the patient diary.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Serious respiratory dysfunction.

2. Asthma.

3. Serious bradyarrhythmia.

4. Serious hepatic or renal dysfunction.

5. Susceptibility to respiratory depression due to such conditions as increased
intracranial pressure, head injury and brain tumor.

6. History of convulsive seizures (except a single episode of infantile febrile
convulsions).

7. Current or past history of drug dependence or narcotic abuse.

8. Dry mouth that affects oral intake.

9. Use of opioid analgesics other than oral morphine or oxycodone within 7 days prior to
study entry.

10. Use of narcotic antagonists within 7 days prior to study entry.

11. Interventions that may affect pain evaluation, such as surgery, radiation to the pain
site (including those sites that influence pain) and nerve block, within 7 days prior
to study entry or scheduled to be given during the study.

12. Patients with a history of serious adverse reactions to the combination of opioid
analgesics and other drugs/substances who are currently receiving or expected to
receive those drugs/substances combined to opioid analgesics.

13. History of hypersensitivity to fentanyl.

14. Pregnant or lactating women, possibly pregnant women or women who are planning to
become pregnant.

15. Participation in any other clinical trial within 28 days prior to the start of
KW-2246 treatment.

16. Prior exposure to KW-2246.

17. Patients whom an investigator judge unsuitable for enrollment.
