  • •2. Patients with cancer related breakthrough pain
  • •3. Being on stable transdermal fentanyl therapy equal to 25 – 200 µg/h or alternatively stable oral morphine therapy equal to 60 – 600 mg/day, or oral oxycodone therapy equal to 30 – 300 mg/day, or oral hydromorphone therapy equal to 8 – 80 mg/day for the treatment of chronic pain;
  • •4. Breakthrough pain in general of such severe pain intensity that the patients needs additional analgesics (apart from persistent pain medication)
  • •5. Experiencing at least 3 target breakthrough pain episodes per week
  • •6. Achieving at least partial relief of the target breakthrough pains by oral opioid medication;
  • •7. Patients able to use intranasal sprays;
  • •8. Life expectancy of at least 3 month;
  • •9. Written informed consent.
  • •10. Safe contraception in women of childbearing potential throughout the entire study, which is defined as the use of effective birth-control methods such as condoms, diaphragms or intra-uterine devices, which are thought to be medically acceptable forms of birth control, or established treatment with hormonal contraceptives for at least 2 months prior to the first intake of study medication;
  • •11. Women without childbearing potential such as women with hysterectomy or tubal ligation and post-menopausal women, the latter is defined as women who have had no menstruation for at least 2 years.
  • •Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • •Number of subjects for this age range:
  • •F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
  • •F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
  • •F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
  • •F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion Criteria

  • •12. Hypersensitivities, allergies or contraindications to any compound in the present study medications or allergies to constituents of the pharmaceutical preparations;
  • •13. Clinically relevant cardiopulmonary diseases that would increase the risk of taking potent opioids;
  • •14. Evidence of clinically relevant increased intracranial pressure (e.g. brain metastases, head injuries) or impaired consciousness;
  • •15. Current therapy with monoamine oxidase (MAO)-Inhibitors, or therapy with MAO-Inhibitors within the last 14 days
  • •16. History of clinically relevant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or clinically relevant asthma bronchiale;
  • •17. History of severe hepatic impairment that affects the safety of investigational products
  • •18. Radionucleid therapy within the last 14 days;
  • •19. Current radiotherapy or planned radiotherapy within the next 2 months;
  • •20. Moderate or severe oronasal mucositis;
  • •21. Clinically relevant brady-arrhythmias.
  • •22. Malignant hypertension;
  • •23. History of drug or alcohol abuse within the past 2 years;
  • •24. Pregnant or nursing women or women of childbearing potential without an effective method of birth control (effective birth control methods are: intra-uterine device, surgical sterilisation, hysterectomy, oral contraceptive)
  • •25. Frequent use of intranasal drugs that affects absorption
  • •26. Participation in a clinical study during the last 6 weeks prior to the start of the study;
  • •27. Uncontrolled or rapidly escalating pain;
  • •28. Clinically relevant neurological or psychiatric disease that would compromise data collection;
  • •29. Nasal obstruction or acute and chronic diseases of the nose or paranasal sinuses;
  • •30. Nose and throat tumours that may alter the absorption of nasally applied fentanyl, the assessment of local tolerability or that may prevent from swallowing the capsules;
  • •31. Clinically relevant allergic and non-allergic rhinitis;
  • •Administrative reasons:
  • •32. Lack of ability or willingness to give informed consent;
  • •33. Anticipated non-availability for study visits/procedures;
  • •34. Vulnerable patients (e.g. person kept in detention)
