Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Pain intensity [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Patient's evaluation of pain intensity using the VAS (100 mm)

  • Global Satisfaction satisfied) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Global Satisfaction using a 5-point Likert scale (0= not satisfied to 4 = completely satisfied)

ZR-02-01 matrix transdermal fentanyl patch
 Drug: Fentanyl Transdermal Matrix Patch ZR-02-01
ZR-02-01 patch contains fentanyl dispersed in a solid matrix, and will be available in 25, 50, 75 and 100 mcg/hr patches. The patches will be worn on the chest or upper arm and an overlay will be placed over the patch. Patches (and overlays) will be replaced every 3 days by the patient and/or responsible caregiver. If a patient experiences end-of-dose-failure, the dosing interval may be changed by the physician investigator to every 2 days. The maximum dose allowed in this study is 300 mcg/hr.
Other Name: ZR-02-01 matrix transdermal fentanyl patch

Detailed Description:

This study will evaluate the safety of the matrix fentanyl patch. The study will be conducted in opioid-tolerant patients with moderate to severe cancer pain currently taking an around-the-clock opioid. Patients will discontinue their current opioid regimen and begin using ZR-02-01 as soon as possible under the direction of the physician investigator upon entry into the study. Patient's dose of ZR-02-01 will be determined by the investigator using sponsor-provided conversion. Pain therapy will be under the supervision of the physician investigator.
