About this study

Official title: Phase II Clinical Study of KW-2246 in Patients With Cancer Pain - Maintenance Switch Study in Oral Morphine or Oral Oxycodone-treated Patients

This study is a Phase II open-label study to investigate the recommended conversion ratio (oral morphine dose to KW-2246) when switching oral morphine or oxycodone to KW-2246 in cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

This study is a Phase II open-label study to investigate, using the continual reassessment method procedure by pain intensity and safety as indicators, the recommended conversion ratio (oral morphine dose to KW-2246) when switching oral morphine or oxycodone to KW-2246 in cancer patients who have been maintained on oral morphine or oral oxycodone for pain and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KW-2246.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing KW-2246 (fentanyl citrate) in people with Pain and Cancer, run by Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and Tolerability (time frame: At every visit). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Aug 2012.
