A Double Blind, Active Controlled Crossover Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fentanyl Buccal Tablets Versus Immediate Release Oxycodone for the Management of Breakthrough Pain in Opioid Tolerant Patients With Chronic Pain
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Fentanyl Buccal Tablet and Immediate release oxycodone for Chronic Pain. Completed, enrolled 213 participants across 50 sites.
Detailed Summary
Evaluate the efficacy of treatment with the fentanyl buccal tablet (FBT) compared with immediate release oxycodone treatment in alleviating breakthrough pain (BTP) in opioid tolerant patients with chronic pain.

Timeline
Interventions
FBT dose strengths = 200, 400, 600, or 800 mcg (1, 2, 3, or 4 tablets) taken prn (as needed) in the event of breakthrough pain. The maximum dose of FBT permitted during the titration and double-blind periods in this study is 800 mcg (4 tablets). For the subsequent 12-week open-label treatment period, patients will either continue with FBT treatment or begin treatment with an alternative short-acting opioid deemed appropriate for each patient by the clinician.
Immediate release oxycodone dosage strength: 15, 30, 45, and 60 mg doses (1, 2, 3 or 4 capsules) to be taken prn (as needed) for breakthrough pain. The maximum single dose would be 60 mg (4 capsules).
