Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Males or females 17 years of age or older
  • Stable cancer-related pain.
  • Are receiving a stable, fixed-schedule oral opioid regimen equivalent to 60 to 1000 mg of oral morphine per day or transdermal fentanyl therapy equivalent to 50 to 300 µg/h, and are on a stable dose of opioid medication for relief of breakthrough pain for at least 14 days prior to screening.
  • Experiencing 1-4 episodes of breakthrough pain per day.
  • Meet the criteria defined in the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status for Grade 0, 1, or 2.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Are pregnant or lactating.
  • Have uncontrolled or rapidly escalating pain.
  • Have moderate to severe ulcerative mucositis.
  • Have a cardiopulmonary disease that would increase the risk of administering potent opioids.
  • Have neurologic or psychologic disease that would compromise data collection

  • Have received strontium 89 therapy within 60 days prior to entering the study.
  • Have received anti-neoplastic therapy within 2 weeks of study entry that, in the investigator's opinion, will influence assessment of breakthrough pain
  • Have received any investigational drug (non-approved) within 30 days prior to the first dose of study medication, or are scheduled to receive an investigational drug other than EN3267 during the course of the study.
  • Have hypersensitivities, allergies, or contraindications to fentanyl.
