Trial Information

Open-label, Single-arm, Flexible Dosing, Phase III Trial, With Oral Tapentadol PR in Subjects With Chronic Malignant Tumor-related Pain Who Have Completed the Maintenance Period of the KF5503/15 Trial.


The prevalence of tumor-related pain is high and the treatment of chronic tumor-related pain
remains a challenging therapeutic problem.

This is a clinical trial with only 1 treatment group: tapentadol ER 100 mg to 250 mg twice
daily.

For subjects who have directly entered the KF5503/52 trial from the KF5503/15 trial (i.e.,
within 7 days of Visit 8 of the KF5503/15 trial): a Transfer Visit, an Open-label Treatment
Period and a Follow-up Period.

For subjects who have a gap of more than 7 days and less than 24 weeks, between their full
completion of the KF5503/15 trial and entry into the KF5503/52 trial: an Enrollment Visit,
an Entry Visit for assessment of eligibility, an Open-label Treatment Period and a Follow-up
Period.

This trial was designed to offer patients with chronic malignant tumor-related pain the
option of continuing treatment by receiving tapentadol PR.
