An Open-Label Long Term Effectiveness and Safety Study of Oxymorphone Extended Release Tablets in Patients With Cancer or Neuropathic Pain


The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effectiveness and tolerability of
oxymorphone ER in the treatment of cancer or neuropathic pain. Opioid-naïve subjects are
gradually titrated from oxymorphone ER 5 mg, every 12 hours (q12h). All other subjects are
titrated to a stable dose (defined as pain scores ≥ 4 on BPI Question 5 on 3 of 5
consecutive days while receiving the same total daily dose of study medication including
rescue) with tolerable side effects. Subjects could potentially receive therapy for up to
12 months after the first dose of study medication.


Inclusion Criteria:



- ≥ 18 years of age or older, with moderate to severe chronic malignant and/or
neuropathic pain of at least 3 months duration and either:

1. have an initial pain intensity score of greater than 4 on a 10-point scale using
BPI Question 5, if sub-optimally responding to their current analgesic regimen,
or

2. have intolerable side effects to one or more components of their current
opioid-containing analgesic regimen.

- Currently receive a stable (at least 2 weeks duration) analgesic regimen

- If female, must be practicing abstinence or using a medically acceptable form of
contraception (e.g., intrauterine device, hormonal birth control, or double barrier
method).
