October 19, 2018 updated by: Mundipharma Research GmbH & Co KG

A Randomised, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Multicentre Study to Demonstrate Improvement in Symptoms of Constipation in Subjects With Non-malignant Pain Taking Oxycodone Equivalent of >20 mg/Day and <50 mg/Day as Oxycodone/Naloxone Prolonged Release Compared to Subjects Taking Oxycodone Prolonged Release Tablets Alone.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that subjects with moderate to severe non-malignant pain taking oxycodone/naloxone prolonged release tablets have improvement in symptoms of constipation compared to subjects taking oxycodone prolonged release tablets alone.
