Study Summary

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of ACTIQ treatment for the management of breakthrough pain (BTP) compared to placebo treatment in children with cancer and non-cancer pain who are receiving around-the-clock (ATC) opioid therapy and who require additional therapy for BTP episodes. This will be determined by the analysis of the pain intensity (PI), measured by the Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) administered 15 minutes after the start of each unit of study drug with an optimal ACTIQ dosage.
