Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for An Efficacy and Safety Study of Low-dose Transdermal Therapeutic System (TTS)-Fentanyl D-Trans in Taiwan Participants With Cancer Pain

Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety/tolerability and clinical utility of low-dose transdermal therapeutic system (TTS \[medicated adhesive pad that is placed on the skin to deliver a timed-release dose of medication through the skin into the bloodstream\]) - fentanyl in Taiwan participants with cancer pain. Secondly, to demonstrate the dropout rate that will be decreased by initiating therapy with12 microgram per hour (mcg/hr) instead of with 25 mcg/h.

Detailed Description: This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), multi-center (when more than one hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study), single-arm, non-randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-dose TTS-fentanyl in Taiwan participants with cancer pain. Eligible participants will be enrolled and scheduled to return at Day 0, 7, 14 and 28. Participants will receive TTS-fentanyl for 28 days at a starting dose of 12 micrograms per hour (mcg/h) (one patch). Dose of fentanyl can increased or decreased as per Investigator's discretion to maintain participant's pain score at 2 or less on the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) question 6 (that tells how much pain you have right now). Safety will primarily be evaluated by measuring participant's dropout rate due to adverse events. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.
