  • If female, patient is at least one year post-menopausal (defined as one year without menses), surgically sterile (must be documented), or practicing effective contraception, in the opinion of the Investigator, and be willing to continue to use effective contraception for the duration of participation in the study.
  • If female, patient is non-lactating, and if of child-bearing potential, has a negative urine pregnancy test result at Baseline Visit.
  • Patient has a pulse-oximetry measurement ≥95%, a respiration rate ≥12 breaths/minute, systolic blood pressure ≥100 mm Hg, and diastolic blood pressure ≥50 mm Hg at the Extension Study Baseline Visit.
  • Patient is willing to refrain from driving throughout the duration of participation in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient has acute asthma, head injury, elevated intracranial pressure, convulsive states, congestive heart failure (NYHA classification of III or IV), current cardiac arrhythmia, current transient cerebral ischemic attacks, current uncontrolled unstable co-existent systemic disease, serious intercurrent illness, other medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or extenuating circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude participation in the study.
  • Patient has allergy, hypersensitivity, or contraindications to opioids.
  • Patient has poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure >180 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure >95 mm Hg despite antihypertensive medication) at the Extension Study Baseline Visit.
  • Patient is currently taking tramadol or anticipates taking tramadol during the course of the study.
  • Patient is currently taking antipsychotic drugs, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, muscle relaxants, or medications for the treatment of depression.

  • Patient is at high risk of addiction: patient has a history of substance abuse (excluding nicotine or caffeine), a family history of substance abuse, or a history of adverse consequences related to substance abuse including legal issues.
  • Patient has a history of drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements.
