Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of the subcutaneous (SC) injection form of N-methylnaltrexone bromide (MOA-728) for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation in participants with nonmalignant pain. The study consists of a 2-week screening period, a 48-week open-label treatment period and a 2 week follow-up period. Participants will need to agree to self-administer SC injections, complete daily diaries, and check-in via a daily telephone call during the study.
