Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Treatment completion rate (tolerability) over the treatment period

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Adverse events (evaluation of the safety of morphine extended-release products) 2. Evaluation of dyspnea: mMRC questionnaire, NRS (Numerical Rating Scale) Worst (worst value within 24 hours), Average (average value over 24 hours) 3. Quality of life assessment related to interstitial pneumonia: CAT (COPD assessment test), K-BILD (King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease Questionnaire) 4. Other assessment indices: ESAS-r-J ESAS-r-J (Edmonton Symptom Assessment System Revised Japanese version: Evaluation of overall physical condition) HADS (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale: Assessment of depression) ECOG PS (Evaluation of performance status) EQ5D-5L (Evaluation of overall quality of life) 5. 4m walking speed (exertional load method)
