Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 years and older
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Male or female patients at least 18 years or older with moderate to severe non-malignant pain who are willing to provide written informed consent.
- Females less than one year post-menopausal must have a negative urine pregnancy test recorded at the screening visit, be non-lactating, and willing to use adequate and reliable contraception throughout the study. Highly effective methods of birth control are defined as those which result in a low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly such as sterilisation, implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some IUDs (Intrauterine Device, hormonal), sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner.
- Patients with documented history of moderate to severe, non-malignant pain treated with WHO step I or II analgesics with insufficient pain relief and/or unacceptable side effects that requires around-the-clock opioid therapy (starting dose of oxycodone over 20 mg/day) and are likely to benefit from WHO step III opioid therapy for the duration of the study. Patients must be willing to discontinue their current analgesics, like opioids. Co-analgesics, such as anti-depressants and anti-epileptics, can be continued provided that the co-analgesics are used on a stable dose before and during the study.
- Patients are willing to discontinue pre study laxative medication.
- Patients taking daily fibre supplementation or bulking agents are eligible if they can be maintained on a stable dose and regimen throughout the study, and in the investigators opinion are willing and able to maintain adequate hydration.
- Patients willing and able to participate in all aspects of the study, including use of medication, completion of subjective evaluations, attending scheduled clinic visits, completing telephone contacts, and compliance with protocol requirements as evidenced by providing written, informed consent.
Who cannot join
- Any history of hypersensitivity to oxycodone, naloxone, related products, and other ingredients.
- Patients that require a dose over 20 mg/day oxycodone at the start of the study.
- Active alcohol or drug abuse and/or history of opioid abuse.
- Evidence of clinically significant cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, or psychiatric disease, as determined by medical history, clinical laboratory tests, ECG results, and physical examination, that would place the patient at risk upon exposure to the study medication or that may confound the analysis and/or interpretation of the study results.
- In the investigator's opinion, patients who are receiving hypnotics or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants that may pose a risk of additional CNS depression with opioid study medication.
- Patients receiving opioid substitution therapy for opioid addiction (e.g., methadone or buprenorphine).
Show all 15Show fewer
- Patients with uncontrolled seizures or convulsive disorder.
- Patients who have a confirmed diagnosis of ongoing irritable bowel syndrome.
- Patients with evidence of clinically significant gastrointestinal disease (e.g. paralytic ileus, peritoneal carcinosis), significant structural abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract (e.g. scarring, obstruction etc).
- Patients who participated in a clinical research study involving a new chemical entity or an experimental drug within 30 days of study entry.
- Surgery completed prior to the start of the study, or planned surgery during the study that would influence pain or bowel function during the study or preclude completion of the study.
- Patients presently taking, or who have taken, naloxone <30 days prior to the start of the study.

About this study
Official title: An Open Study With OXN to Evaluate the Patient Preference for Pain Treatment With Respect to Quality of Life After WHO Stap I or Step II Analgesics for Patients With Moderate to Severe Non-malignant Pain
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the patient preference for pain treatment with respect to quality of life in patients with moderate to severe non malignant pain. Patients who have insufficient pain relief and/or unacceptable side effects with the previous analgesic treatment WHO step 1 or 2 and require around-the-clock opioid therapy can be included in the study. The WHO step I or II analgesics will be compared with the new study medication OXN (oxycodone/naloxone).
Read the detailed description
Patients will receive OXN for 3 weeks in the first phase (core phase) and in the second phase (extension phase) they will receive OXN as is daily clinical practice until reimbursement of OXN in the Netherlands or Belgium or until discontinuation on request of the patient.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Oxycodone and naloxone in people with Pain, run by Mundipharma Pharmaceuticals B.V. at 1 site in Belgium.
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 6 inclusion and 15 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 12 Feb 2013. 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 Belgium. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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?
Patient preference of OXN compared to previous analgesics with respect to QOL. 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 12 Feb 2013.
