NCT00331045

Brief Summary

This study is intended to investigate the recommended dose of alvimopan in doses 0.25mg/day (0.25mg, OD), 0.5mg/day (0.25mg, BID) or 1mg/day (0.5mg, BID) or placebo for 3 weeks in patients who receive opioids for the management of cancer pain and develop constipation, by giving overall consideration to the efficacy and safety data in each treatment group. Also, efficacy and safety data of alvimopan in the recommended dose group will be compared with those of placebo and to confirm alvimopan's safety and efficacy.
