Safety and Efficacy of Tegaserod in Opioid-induced Constipation in Patients With Non-cancer Pain.
An Open Label 52-week Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Tegaserod Given Orally for the Treatment of Opioid-induced Constipation (OIC) in Patients With Chronic Non-cancer Pain
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tegaserod in opioid-induced constipation in patients with non-cancer pain.
Patients who enter this study PRIOR to the core study (CHTF919N2201) interim analysis receive the treatment as follows:
Patients will be randomly assigned to receive open label tegaserod 6 mg b.i.d. or tegaserod 12 mg o.d. using an allocation ratio of 1:1.
Patients who enter this study AFTER the core study interim analysis receive the treatment as follows:
Patients will be assigned to receive the selected tegaserod dose regimen (as determined by the core study interim analysis) in an open label fashion.
