Inclusion criteria

1. Adult men and women aged 19 years or more 2. Patients with cancerous pain who are hospitalized or scheduled for hospitalization at Screening and not planned to be discharged during the study 3. Patients with mean moderate to severe pain over the past 7 days at Screening as verbally confirmed (NRS 4 or higher) 4. Subjects who voluntarily signed the Informed Consent Form for the study 5. Subjects who are capable of understanding details of the study and verbal communication on pain intensity

Exclusion criteria

1. Patients who reached the narcotic analgesic dose corresponding to the followings for cancerous pain treatment immediately prior to Screening (oral morphine dose 195mg/day, oral oxycodone dose 130mg/day, patch fentanyl dose 75μg/hour) 2. Patients with a medical history of hypersensitivity to an ingredient of oxycodone hydrochloride or morphine sulfate or other narcotic analgesics 3. Patients who have contraindications and cautions when study drugs administered.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in the Mean Pain Score(NRS) From Baseline(Day 0) to Day 5.5 daysFor the pain assessment value for efficacy assessment, Subjects perform pain grading through Numeric rating score(NRS) from 1 to 10 for the mean pain intensity over the past 7 days at Screening, and mean pain intensity over the past 24 hours at Baseline (Day 0), Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5. Verbal measurement can be conducted by subjects without using visual data. '0' indicates 'no pain', and as the number increases, the pain gets more severe, and '10' indicates the worst pain.

Outcome results

Primary

Change in the Mean Pain Score(NRS) From Baseline(Day 0) to Day 5.

For the pain assessment value for efficacy assessment, Subjects perform pain grading through Numeric rating score(NRS) from 1 to 10 for the mean pain intensity over the past 7 days at Screening, and mean pain intensity over the past 24 hours at Baseline (Day 0), Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5. Verbal measurement can be conducted by subjects without using visual data. '0' indicates 'no pain', and as the number increases, the pain gets more severe, and '10' indicates the worst pain.

Time frame: 5 days

Investigator's Overall Satisfaction With IV Infusion on 5 Days After Randomization

The investigators made an assessment using the CGI-C on a 7-point scale (1: Very much improved, 2: Much improved, 3: Minimally improved, 4: No change, 5: Minimally worse, 6: Much worse, 7: Very much worse).

Time frame: 5 days

Population: FAS set. However, OxyNorm 1 subject (S08-09) and Morphine sulfate 1 subject (S08-15) were not assessed on Day 5 after baseline.~So, the data was missed.

Patient's Overall Satisfaction With Each Continuous Infusion on Day 5 After Randomization

The subjects made an assessment of overall treatment satisfaction regarding pain using the PGI-C on a 7-point scale (1: Very much improved, 2: Much improved, 3: Minimally improved, 4: No change, 5: Minimally worse, 6: Much worse, 7: Very much worse) after baseline and at the end of the study (Day 5).

Time frame: 5 days

Population: FAS set. However, OxyNorm 1 subject (S08-09) and Morphine sulfate 1 subject (S08-15) were not assessed on Day 5 after baseline. So, missing data was excluded from analysis. Oxynorm group 32 subjects and Morphine group 31 subjects were analysed for PGIC.
