About

Purpose:

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of AD 923 to the most widely used current treatment (MSIR) in the management of target BTP in subjects with malignancies who are taking a stable dose of background opioids. The efficacy evaluation criteria have been designed to determine whether AD 923 provides superior analgesia compared with MSIR as measured by the primary endpoint.

The subject has any respiratory or cardiac condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may be clinically worsened by opioids.
The subject has any allergy to the AD 923 product or excipients, namely: fentanyl, dehydrated alcohol, menthol, saccharin, and citrate buffer; or to the MSIR product excipients, namely: morphine sulphate, lactose (anhydrous), pregelatinized maize starch, povidone, purified water, magnesium stearate, talc, and tablet coatings.
