Use of Durogesic D-TRANS in Cancer Pain Patients With Inadequately Controlled Pain Relief From Weak Opioids


This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single-arm,
multicenter (conducted in more than one hospital or medical school team work on a medical
research study), prospective (study following participants forward in time) study conducted
to assess the efficacy and safety of TTS-fentanyl D-trans in cancer participants of Korea
with inadequately controlled pain by non-narcotic analgesics and for participant's
satisfaction. The participants will receive the initial dose of TTS-fentanyl D-trans patch
releasing 12 micrograms per hour (12 mcg/hr) of fentanyl and will be increased by 12 mcg/hr
or 25 mcg/hr, every 3 days depending on the participant's pain control. Efficacy will
primarily be evaluated by participant's satisfaction with pain treatment. Participant's
safety will be monitored throughout the study.
