Detailed Description:

Effective pain relief and high sleep quality allow patients to resume active lives and be themselves. This is multicenter, prospective, open-label, single-arm, dose-ascending study to evaluate the clinical usefulness of hydromorphone OROS in improvement of sleep disturbance provoked by cancer pain. Patient who took oral opioid previously will be administered the study drug for two weeks. Primary Endpoint is improvement of the degree of sleep disturbance as measured by the K-BPI (question 9). Secondary Endpoint are as follows: K-BPI (Korean Brief Pain Inventory: 9-questionnaire, 11-point scale), Pain intensity at morning and afternoon, Number of breakthrough pain medication, Investigator and patient global assessments: 5-pint rating scale, Patient's preference, CGI-I (Clinical Global Impression - Improvement: 7 point rating scale), Safety evaluation(adverse event & tolerance) Initial Dose of Hydromorphone OROS: At second visit, initial dose of hydromorphone will be determined according to the equivalent analgesic effect conversion table. Subject will administer hydromorphone at 10 AM. At Change of Hydromorphone dose: The investigator will increase a patient's daily dose if more than 3 breakthrough pain episodes requiring rescue medication occurred within 24 hours. Daily doses will be titrated up to the next higher dose level every 2 days after phone call

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   20 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who are currently receiving strong opioid analgesic for their cancer pain management
  • Patients who are able, in the opinion of investigator, to comply fully with the trial requirements including completion of the Korean-Brief Pain Inventory
  • Patients who have signed an informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with pain that was not considered to be potentially responsive to opioids
  • A recent (within the past 6 months) or currently history of drug and/or alcohol abuse
  • Women of childbearing potential who are pregnant or lactating, seeking pregnancy, or failing to take adequate contraceptive precautions
  • Patients with an intolerant of, or hypersensitivity to, hydromorphone or other opioids
  • Patients with GI disease of sufficient severity to be likely to interfere with oral analgesia including: dysphagia, vomiting, no bowel movement or bowel obstruction due to impaction within 5 days of the study, severe gut narrowing or factors predisposing to gut narrowing (both hereditary or iatrogenic [e.g. GI surgery or GI radiotherapy]) that may affect the absorption or transit of orally administered drugs, particularly the insoluble OROS outer coating
  • Patients who were receiving or had received monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) within the past 2 weeks
  • Patients who had previously enrolled in this trial
  • Patients who had participate in another trial with an investigational drug in the last 4 weeks
  • Patients in whom the risks of treatment with morphine/hydromorphone outweighed the potential benefits, including such risk categories as raised intracranial pressure, hypotension, hypothyroidism, asthma, reduced respiratory reserve, prostatic hypertrophy, hepatic impairment, renal impairment, elderly and debilitated, convulsive disorders, and Addison's disease.
