Study Summary

The primary aim of this study is to determine if chronic pain subjects on around-the-clock opioids who are receiving 100 to 220 mg oral morphine sulfate equivalent (MSE) can be safely transitioned on to buprenorphine hydrochloride (HCl) buccal film at 50% of their MSE dose without inducing opioid withdrawal or reversing analgesic effects.

Primary Outcome

A responder is defined as a subject whose maximum (across all time points) clinical opiate withdrawal scale (COWS) total score is ≥13. COWS scores range 0 to 4 or 5 on 11 items related to opiate withdrawal signs or symptoms; total score range 0 to 48 where 0-4 = no withdrawal and 5-12 = mild, 13-24 = moderate, 25-36 = moderately severe, more than 36 = severe withdrawal.
