OPIOID INDUCED CONSTIPATION (OIC) remains a significant unmet medical need for patients taking opioids on a regular basis for pain. Research reveals that this condition affects 64% of patients with CANCER RELATED PAIN.
We are currently conducting a research study to evaluate the SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS of two doses of a new oral INVESTIGATIONAL MEDICATION in patients with OIC who are being trated for cancer related pain.
We are looking for patients who meet the following entry criteria:
18 years or older
Self-reported symptoms of OIC
Stable maintenance opioid regimen (> 30 mg morphine equivalent)
Has life expectancy of > 3 months
Outpatient status
Patients will be required to attend approximately 7 scheduled visits during a 10 week period. This includes a 4 week treatment period in which patients will be given investigational medication (one of two doses) or placebo.
You may be compensated for your time and travel.
Please call us at 501.960.7225 to see if you qualify or for more information.
