Study Summary

This is an open-label, multicenter extension of study 3200K1-4000-WW that will evaluate the safety of methylnaltrexone. This drug will be administered by subcutaneous injection and will be tested in late stage, advanced illness patients who have constipation caused by opioid pain relievers. This study will last 3 months.

Primary Outcome

This was defined as the total number of days with a laxation (ie, a bowel movement) within 24 hours after dosing in each 7-day interval after the start of dosing. Results shown are the ranges (lowest and highest weekly values) of mean (± standard deviation) numbers of laxations within 24 hours of dosing per week during the 10-week treatment period for each group.
