Fentanyl Buccal Tablets Compared With Immediate-Release Oxycodone

Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio either to titrate immediate-release oxycodone first and to titrate FBT second, or to titrate FBT first and immediate-release oxycodone second, followed by 2 double-blind crossover treatment periods (in randomized order). For the double-blind treatment period of the study involving FBT administration, a patient is randomly assigned to receive FBT at the 200, 400, 600, or 800 mcg strength found to be successful during open-label titration. For the double-blind treatment period of the study to which a patient is randomly assigned to receive immediate-release oxycodone, the patient will receive immediate-release oxycodone at the strength (15, 30, 45, or 60 mg) found to be successful during open-label titration.
