A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of EN3267 for the Treatment of Breakthrough Pain in Opioid Tolerant Cancer Patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of sublingual fentanyl
tablets in relieving breakthrough pain in cancer patients.


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 any clinically significant condition that would, in the investigator's opinion,
preclude study participation.

- Are currently taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or have taken MAOIs within
14 days prior to enrolling in the study.

- 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.
