NCT01493245

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JNS020QD in patients with moderate to severe chronic pain who switched from opioid analgesics, as well as the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment (52 weeks) after switching to JNS020QD.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of patients who maintained the adequate analgesia

    Criteria for maintenance of adequate analgesia is defined as: 1) The daily dose of the study drug is constant during the 7 days in the maintenance period before completion of the maintenance period; 2) Change in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) mean values from baseline to endpoint is ≤+15 mm; 3) Frequency of daily rescue doses during the 7 days in the maintenance period is ≤ 2 doses, and the change in the mean frequency of daily rescue dose from the baseline to endpoint is ≤+1.0 dose.

    At Week 4

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of patients who achieve dose-adjustment

    Days 19-21

Study Arms (1)

JNS020QD

EXPERIMENTAL
Drug: JNS020QD

Interventions

During weeks 1-3, initial doses of 0.84 mg, 1.7 mg, 3.4 mg, or 5 mg can be increased until individual optimal dose (up to maximum 20.1 mg) is determined. The optimal dose will be administered during the maintenance period (1 week), followed by a long-term treatment (48 weeks) period, where the dose will be adjusted (escalated or reduced) in consideration of the efficacy of the study, and the condition of adverse events. The patches are applied on the skin and exchanged daily (every 24 hours) for consecutive 52 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

Age20 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Chronic pain that requires opioid analgesics and that has persisted for 12 weeks or longer before giving the consent
  • Patients who received any of the following opioid analgesics at a stable dose for the treatment of chronic pain for 7 days or longer before giving the consent (excluding rescue dose): oral codeine phosphate; oral morphine hydrochloride; fentanyl transdermal; combination tablet of tramadol hydrochloride and acetaminophen; buprenorphine transdermal patch
  • Patients who received 2 or less rescue doses per day during the 7 days before giving consent
  • Patients whose mean pain intensity throughout the day of giving the consent is 45 mm or less on the visual analogue scale (VAS)
  • Male and female patients surgically sterile, abstinent, or practicing an effective method of birth control. Female patients have a negative pregnancy test result at screening. Male patients cannot donate sperm during the study and for 3 months after receiving the last dose of study drug

You may not qualify if:

  • Other painful conditions which may interfere with the efficacy evaluation (eg bone fracture, rheumatoid arthritis)
  • Major surgery within 30 days before screening, or not fully recovered from surgery, or planned surgery during the time of the study
  • Pain that is considered mainly psychogenic
  • Uncontrolled/clinically significant arrhythmia
  • Hepatic function disorder such as fulminant hepatitis and hepatic cirrhosis, or renal impairment such as nephritic syndrome, acute or chronic renal failure
  • Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the best interest of the patient or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments
