Summary

Those who may become pregnant should be using contraception.
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of buprenorphine with strong painkillers (opioids) in patients with significant cancer pain, monitoring for withdrawal symptoms and effectiveness in pain management through clinician evaluations and an app that tracks medication usage.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include symptoms of opioid withdrawal such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches, fever, sweating, and insomnia. Buprenorphine itself may cause drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, headache or respiratory issues.
