Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine efficacy and safety of naldemedine for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation in adults with non-malignant chronic pain receiving opioid therapy for ≥ 3 months.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Subjects aged 18 years or older at time of informed consent with non-malignant chronic pain experiencing opioid-induced constipation
  • Subjects with < 3 spontaneous bowel movements a week and experiencing bowel symptoms
  • Subjects receiving chronic opioid therapy due to non-malignant pain for ≥ 3 months

Exclusion Criteria

  • Evidence of clinically significant gastrointestinal disease
  • History of chronic constipation prior to starting analgesic medication or any potential non-opioid cause of bowel dysfunction that may be a major contributor to the constipation
  • Severe constipation that has not been appropriately managed such that the subject is at immediate risk of developing serious complications of constipation
