Participants will receive hydromorphone HCl OROS 8 milligram (mg) every 24 hours, for 3 to 14 days of titration phase. Hydromorphone HCl OROS will be continued as per Investigator's discretion for next 14 days of maintenance phase.

Participants will receive morphine SR 8 mg every 24 hours, for 3 to14 days of titration phase. Morphine SR will be continued as per Investigator's discretion for next 14 days of maintenance phase.

Hydromprphone Hydrochloride (HCl) OROS

Participants will receive morphine SR 8 mg every24 hours, for 3 to14 days of titration phase. Morphine SR will be continued as per Investigator's discretion for next 14 days of maintenance phase.

Morphine Sustain Release (SR)

Johnson & Johnson Taiwan, Ltd. Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Osmotic Release Oral System (OROS) hydromorohone Hydrochloride (HCl) compared with morphine sustain release (SR) in participants with chronic (lasting a long time) malignant (cancerous) cancer pain.

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), multi-center (when more than 1 hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study), active-controlled, randomized (the study drug is assigned by chance) study to evaluate safety and efficacy of OROS extended-release (ER) hydromorhone HCl compared to twice daily morphine SR, in Taiwan participants with cancer pain. The study consists of 3 phases: Screening phase (14 days before administration of study drug), Dose titration phase (3 to 14 days) and Dose maintenance phase (14 days). This study will include 8 visits (Visit 1 \[Day 1\], Visit 2 \[Day 1-13 telephonic\], Visit 3 \[Day 14\], Visit 4 \[Day 15 to Day 21 telephonic\], Visit 5 \[Day 22\], Visit 6 \[Day 23 to 27 telephonic\] and Visit 7 \[Day 28\]). In dose titration phase, participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of the 2 treatments, OROS hydromorphone or morphine SR and dose of study medication will be adjusted every 48 hours at Investigator's discretion according to participant's analgesic (drug used to control pain) requirements. Morphine HCl will be used as rescue medication (maintained at 3 doses per day or less) for breakthrough pain. Participants primarily will be evaluated for equivalence of efficacy using the "worst pain" item of the brief pain inventory (BPI). Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study duration.

A Study to Compare Safety and Efficacy of Osmotic Release Oral Syytem (OROS) Hydromorphone Hydrochloride (HCl) With Morphine Sustain Release (SR) in Participants With Cancer Pain

A Randomized, Open-Labeled, Multi-Center Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of OROS Hydromorphone HCl Comparing With Morphine SR in Cancer Pain Patients

The BPI is a questionnaire designed to assess the severity and impact of pain on quality of life. Total score ranges from 0=no pain to 10=extreme pain. BPI Questionnaire Item 3 "Worst Pain" will be assessed using the BPI questionnaire, score ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine).

The BPI is a questionnaire designed to assess the severity and impact of pain on quality of life. Total score ranges from 0=no pain to 10=extreme pain. BPI questionnaire Item 3 "Worst Pain" will be assessed using the BPI questionnaire, score ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine).

The BPI is a questionnaire designed to assess the severity and impact of pain on quality of life. Total score ranges from 0=no pain to 10=extreme pain. BPI questionnaire Item 6 "how much pain you have right now" will be assessed using the BPI questionnaire, score ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine).

The BPI is a questionnaire designed to assess the severity and impact of pain on quality of life. Total score ranges from 0=no pain to 10=extreme pain. BPI questionnaire Item "Pain Intensity" will be assessed using the BPI questionnaire, score ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine).

The BPI is a questionnaire designed to assess the severity and impact of pain on quality of life. Total score ranges from 0=no pain to 10=extreme pain. BPI questionnaire Item "Pain Relief" will be assessed using the BPI questionnaire. Pain relief was rated on a scale ranging from 0% (no relief) to 100% (complete relief).

The BPI is a questionnaire designed to assess the severity and impact of pain on quality of life. Total score ranges from 0=no pain to 10=extreme pain. BPI questionnaire Item "Pain Interference" will be assessed using the BPI questionnaire. Pain interference of general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relationships with others, sleep, and enjoyment of life will be rated on a scale ranging from 0 (no interference) to 10 (complete interference).

Participants will evaluate effectiveness by providing rating on the question "'what is your rating of the overall effectiveness of the study medication during the titration or maintenance phase" using 5-point scale ranging from 1 to 5, where 1=poor,. 2=fair, 3=good, 4=very good and 5=excellent.

Investigator will evaluate effectiveness by providing rating on the question "'what is your rating of the overall effectiveness of the study medication during the titration or maintenance phase" using 5-point scale ranging from 1 to 5, where 1=poor,. 2=fair, 3=good, 4=very good and 5=excellent.

The requirement of breakthrough pain medication will be recorded by participants. Morphine HCl, 10 mg, will be used as rescue medication for breakthrough pain.

Mean total daily dose of study medication taken during study will be recorded by participants.
