Condition(s) targeted: Pain; Osteoarthritis, Hip; Osteoarthritis, Knee

Intervention: fentanyl matrix (Drug); fentanyl matrix (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Janssen Korea, Ltd., Korea

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the utility of fentanyl matrix for the treatment of pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) of knee or hip, which was not adequately controlled by non-opioid analgesic (e. g. NSAIDs or COX-II inhibitors) or weak opioids [tramadol HClacetaminophen, tramadol or codeine (or combinations with acetaminophen/ibuprofen)].

Clinical Details

Official title: Fentanyl Matrix for the Treatment of Pain Caused by Osteoarthritis of the Knee or Hip: Improvement of Pain and Function: Multicenter, Open-label, Prospective, Observational Study

Study design: Observational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Prospective

Primary outcome: Change in pain intensity from baseline through final evaluation as measured by Numeric Rating Scale

Secondary outcome:

Improved pain relief as measured using the K-WOMAC scale

Improvement of sleep disturbance

Impact of activity of daily activities measured by 5-point likert scale and social activities measured by 5-point likert scale

Investigator and patient global assessment measured by 5-point likert scale

Improved pain relief as measured using the CGI-I

Detailed description: This study is a prospective, open-label, non-interventional study. The objective of this study is to investigate the utility of fentanyl matrix after 8 week treatment of fentanyl matrix for the treatment of pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) of knee or hip, which was not adequately controlled by non-opioid analgesic (e. g. NSAIDs or COX-II selective inhibitors) or weak opioids [tramadol HCl with acetaminophen, tramadol or codeine (or combination with acetaminophen/ibuprofen)] in clinical practice according to the investigator's discretion. This study will investigate the usefulness of fentanyl matrix based on improvement in pain and function after Fentanyl matrix administration in patients who complained of pain caused by osteoarthritis and indicated for Fentanyl matrix administration in clinical practice at the investigator's discretion. This study will also measure the patients' functional

improvement through Korean Version of WOMAC. Observational study - No investigational drug

administered

Eligibility

Minimum age: 20 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

persisting for 3 months or longer

K-WOMAC completion at the investigator's discretion

- Patients who complain of severe pain (NRS score = 7) because pain was not treated

enough with the previous analgesic
