Brief Title: An Efficacy and Safety Study of Fentanyl (JNS020QD) in Participants With Cancer Pain
Official Title: A Phase III Study of JNS020QD in Cancer Pain Patients - Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of JNS020QD Switched From Opioid Analgesics
Study ID: NCT00641667
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fentanyl one-day transdermal patch (patch containing a drug that is put on the skin so the drug will enter the body through the skin) in participants switched from morphine preparations, oral oxycodone preparations, fentanyl citrate injection or fentanyl patch for cancer pain.
Detailed Description: This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), multi-center (conducted in more than one center) and non-comparative study of fentanyl one-day transdermal patch. The study consists of 3 periods: Pre-treatment observation period (4-7 days), Treatment period (10 days) and Follow-up period (2 days). Treatment will be initiated at 12.5 microgram per hour (mcg/hr) and the initial dose of fentanyl will be determined based on the daily dose of the opioid analgesic taken by the participant before entering the study and will be maintained for 2 days to ensure safety of participants. Dose escalation or reduction will be as per the Investigator's discretion from Day 3 to Day 7 and thereafter dose will be again maintained from Day 7 to Day 9, ranging from 12.5 mcg/hr-100 mcg/hr and the maximum application dose will be 300 mcg/hr. The patch will be applied on areas including the chest, abdomen, upper arm or thigh and will be replaced daily for 10 days (a total of 9 applications; including the day of final patch removal). Efficacy will primarily be evaluated by visual analog scale (VAS) score. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.
