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
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.

Conditions
- Chronic Pain
Interventions
- Fentanyl Buccal Tablet
- Immediate release oxycodone
Primary outcomes
- Pain Intensity Difference (PID) at 15 Minutes Post-treatment (PID15) — Immediately pre-dose and 15 minutes after dosing
Pain intensity (PI) scores were assessed on an 11-point numerical rating scale from 0 = no pain to 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine after each episode of breakthrough pain during the double-blind treatment period. The PID15 is the difference between the PI scores from the episode baseline (immediately prior to study drug administration)and 15 minutes after the administration of the study drug. Least squared mean was from an analysis of variance (ANOVA) with treatment as randomized, phase, and sequence as fixed factors and patient as a random factor using compound symmetry.
