- Has moderate to severe pain as measured by the Pain Intensity Assessment (categorical scale), and a pain intensity measurement of greater than or equal to 40 mm by visual analog scale (VAS) prior to the morning dose of pain medication.
- Stable chronic cancer pain as evidenced by a stable, scheduled opioid regimen over 7 days prior to treatment with study medication and fewer than 3 rescue doses per day averaged over the 3 days prior to treatment with study medication.
- Currently taking morphine, hydromorphone, oxycodone or an oxycodone/acetaminophen combination for the treatment of cancer pain.
- Age 18 or older.
- Performance status of 0 to 2 by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale.
- If taking concomitant medication, subject has been on a steady regimen for the past 2 weeks.
- For female subjects: 2 years postmenopausal or currently using effective contraception, and not lactating; negative urine pregnancy test within 24 hours of randomization.
- Weight of 40 to 90 kg and body mass index (BMI) of 18 to 32 during a 1-week period prior to treatment.
- Able to remain at facility allowing completion of pain and safety assessments for at least 8 hours after receiving study medication.
Exclusion
- Has any significant medical disease other than malignancy that, in the Investigator's opinion, may interfere with study participation or completion of the study.
- Has a history of chronic analgesic or tranquilizer use (except for the subject's current pain medication \[morphine, hydromorphone, and oxycodone, or an oxycodone/acetaminophen combination\]) or known substance abuse within 90 days prior to the screening visit. Other drugs with analgesic properties, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, tricyclic antidepressants, anticonvulsants, antiarrhythmics, bisphosphonates or gabapentinoids will not be initiated during the study. Patients receiving stable doses of these agents for pain management or other indications for \>1 week prior to the screening visit may continue treatment with these provided that the dose remains constant during the study.
- Is unwilling to abstain from alcohol from at least 8 hours prior to dosing with study medication until time of discharge from the study unit.
- Has received or anticipates receiving any vitamin and mineral supplements from 24 hours prior to dosing until time of discharge from the study unit.
- Has received any investigational medication within 30 days prior to administration of study medication or is scheduled to receive an investigational drug other than study drug during the course of this study.
- Has clinically significant hypersensitivity to morphine, oxycodone, hydromorphone, other opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or acetaminophen.
- Has a laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would contraindicate study participation, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels greater than or equal to 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or creatinine level greater than ULN at the screening evaluation.
