| Main Objective: To study the pharmacokinetics and the pharmacogenetics of opioids in relation to effects (+/- achievement of analgesia) and/or the occurrence of dose-limiting side effects in cancer patients treated with strong opioids. ;Secondary Objective: - To study the underlying demographic, clinical and pharmacogenetic factors contributing to the failure of achieving analgesia and/or the occurrence of dose-limiting side effects in individual cancer patients for the opioids morphine, oxycodon, fentanyl and hydromorphon; - To study if the demographic, clinical and pharmacogetic factors contributing to the failure of specific opioids with respect to the achievement of analgesia and/ the occurrence of side effects determine the effect of rotation to another opioid in individual patients; - To delelop a strategy for opioid rotation with respect to the type of the opioid rotated to and its dose in case of failure on primary treatment with a specific opioid in an individual patient. ;Primary end point(s): - achievement of pain control - no dose-limiting side effects | — |
