Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), multi-center (conducted in more than 1 center), prospective (study following participants forward in time) dose-ascending study to evaluate the clinical usefulness of hydromorphone OROS in improvement of sleep disturbance caused by cancer pain.Total duration of study will be 3 weeks. The study consists of 3 phases: Screening phase (up to 1 week), Treatment phase (2 weeks), and Extension phase (12 weeks). The study will include 6 visits: Day -7, Day 1, Day 15, Day 43, Day 71, and Day 99. During screening phase, potential participants will receive strong oral (long acting) opioid analgesic (for 7 days) until Day 1 and the participants will be evaluated for participation in clinical study on Day 1. During treatment phase, participants will receive hydromorphone OROS (8 milligram [mg] to greater than or equal to 32 mg), once daily for 2 weeks, and the dose will be adjusted every 2 days from Day 3 at the Investigator's discretion and according to the strong oral (long acting) opioid analgesic administered from screening phase to Day 1 (the initial dose of the study drug will be determined by converting the dose of the previously administered analgesic to that of the daily dose of oral morphine with the equivalent analgesic effect to the study drug [dose with equivalent analgesic effect; Hydromorphone OROS dose: oral morphine dose =1:5]). Participants who completed treatment phase and suffer from continuing cancer pain will be enrolled to extension phase and study drug will be administered as per Investigator discretion for 99 days. Participants primarily will be evaluated for improvement in sleep disturbance measured by Korean Brief Pain Inventory (KBPI). Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Treatment Response in Sleep Disturbance Caused by Cancer Pain
Time Frame: Day 15 or Early withdrawal
Percentage of treatment response in sleep disturbance caused by cancer pain was reported. Treatment response in sleep disturbance was measured by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) ranging from 0=no disturbance to 10=extreme disturbance.
Day 15 or Early withdrawal

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sleep Disturbance Questionnaire: Analgesic Administration
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 15
The Investigator evaluated sleep disturbance through the participant's answers to below question in "yes" or "no" response: 'Did you need to take an analgesic for pain relief in order to go to sleep last night?'
Baseline and Day 15
Sleep Disturbance Questionnaire: Frequency of Waking Up
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 15
The Investigator evaluated sleep disturbance through the participant's answers to below question: How many times did you wake up while sleeping late night (frequency [once, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, couldn't fall asleep at all] of waking up due to pain last night).
Baseline and Day 15
Sleep Disturbance Questionnaire: Wake up Due to Unbearable Pain
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 15
The Investigator evaluated sleep disturbance through the participant's answers to below question in "yes" or "no" response: 'Did you wake up because of unbearable pain this morning?'
Baseline and Day 15
Korean Brief Pain Inventory (K-BPI) Questionnaire Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 15
K-BPI is a questionnaire designed to measure the degree of pain severity and the impact of pain in performing daily routines. K-BPI comprises of 9 items out of which 6 items were assessed. Score of each item ranges from 0 to 10, where 0=no pain/impact and 10=severe pain/impact. The 6 items that were assessed are: a) level of pain worst in last 24 hours; b) level of pain weakest in last 24 hours; c) level of pain average in last 24 hours; d) level of pain right now; e) how much pain reduced with the therapy taken; sixth item was further classified into 7 categories: i) general activities ii) mood iii) ambulatory ability iv) routine works v) interpersonal relation vi) sleep vii) life enjoyment.
Baseline and Day 15
Participant's Pain Intensity
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 15
Participant's pain intensity was measured using NRS ranging from 0=no pain to 10=unimaginable extreme pain. Participants maintained pain diary for 3 days before Baseline until Day 15 and pain intensity was measured twice daily (morning and afternoon). Here average pain intensity is reported. Average pain intensity was calculated as mean of morning pain intensity and evening pain intensity for each baseline and Day 15.
Baseline and Day 15
Number of Times the Short-Acting Opioid Analgesic Administered for Breakthrough Pain
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 15
The participants recorded the frequency of short acting opioid analgesic taken for treating breakthrough pain among the pains suffered by the participants. Here frequency means number of times the short-acting opioid analgesic administered for breakthrough pain from baseline to Day 15
Baseline and Day 15
Number of Participants With Each Grade of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 15
The ECOG performance status was used to evaluate participant's disease progression and the effect of the disease on the participant's activities of daily living. ECOG performance status score ranges from Grade 0 to 4, where Grade 0=Fully active, Grade 1=restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, Grade 2=ambulatory and capable of all self-care but unable to carry out any work activities, Grade 3=capable of only limited self-care, confined to bed or chair, and Grade 4=completely disabled.
Baseline and Day 15
Number of Participants With Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-Improvement) Score
Time Frame: Day 15
The CGI-Improvement score evaluates how much the participant's condition is improved compared to Baseline. The score ranges from 1 to 7, where 1=improved very much, 2=Improved much, 3=Improved a little, 4=No change, 5=Aggravated a little,6=Aggravated much and 7=aggravated very much.
Day 15

Number of Participants in Each Category of Global Assessment of Overall Efficacy of Study Drug Assessed by Investigators
Time Frame: Day 15
Investigator evaluated overall efficacy of study drug according to the rating of 1=not effective, 2=average, 3=effective, 4=very effective and 5=extremely effective.
Day 15
Percentage of Participants Who Preferred the Oral Long-Action Opioids Analgesic or Study Drug
Time Frame: Day 15
Participant's preferences between the oral long-action opioids analgesic and the study drug was reported.
Day 15
Percentage of Participants With Different Reasons for Their Preference for Oral Long-Action Opioids Analgesic or Study Drug
Time Frame: Day 15
Participants reasons for preference between the long acting oral opioid analgesic and the study drug administered were reported. Reasonos for preferences were "I experienced a certain pain relief effect during the administration of the drug", "I didn't wake up due to pain while sleeping", "It was more convenient because the number of administrations was reduced", "I could reduce the administration of short acting narcotic analgesic to treat breakthrough pain" and "other".
