Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
The Change in Mean Pain Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Score From Baseline to the End of the Treatment.
2 weeks: baseline - end of week 2 (last 3 days of treatment)

The pain NRS was complete at the same time each day, i.e. bedtime in the evening. The patient was asked "on a scale of '0 to 10', please indicate the number that best describes your pain or average pain in the last 24 hours" where 0 = no pain and 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine. No pain relates to the time prior to the onset of pain due to cancer. A negative value indicates an improvement in pain score from baseline.

The Consumption of Escape Analgesic Medication.
2 weeks: baseline - end of week 2 (last 3 days of treatment)

Subjects recorded their use of escape medication each day on their diary card.

Number of Patients With at Least 30% Improvement in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Average Pain Score From Baseline
5 Weeks: Baseline (first 3 days) - Week 5 (last 3 days)

A positive 30% pain response is defined as a reduction of at least 30% in the mean NRS average pain score from baseline to week 5 (last 3 days). The patient was asked "on a scale of '0 to 10', please indicate the number that best describes your pain or average pain in the last 24 hours" where 0 = no pain and 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine. No pain relates to the time prior to the onset of pain due to cancer. The average pain NRS was completed at the same time each day, i.e. bedtime in the evening.

Secondary Endpoints
Sleep Disturbance 0-10 Numerical Rating Scale
2 weeks: baseline to end of week 2 (last 3 days of treatment)
Nausea 0-10 Numerical Rating Scale
2 weeks; baseline - end of week 2 (last 3 days of treatment)
Memory 0-10 Numerical Rating Scale
2 weeks: baseline - end of week 2 (last 3 days of treatment)

Sativex Low DoseEXPERIMENTALRange of 1 to 4 sprays per day. Each actuation of oromucosal spray delivers 2.7mg delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and 2.5mg cannabidiol (CBD). Thus maximum daily dose is 10.8mg THC and 10mg CBD.
Sativex Medium DoseEXPERIMENTALRange of 6 to 10 sprays per day. Each actuation of oromucosal spray delivers 2.7mg delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and 2.5mg cannabidiol (CBD). Thus maximum daily dose is 27mg THC and 25mg CBD.
Sativex High DoseEXPERIMENTALRange of 11 to 16 sprays per day. Each actuation of oromucosal spray delivers 2.7mg delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and 2.5mg cannabidiol (CBD). Thus maximum daily dose is 43.2mg THC and 40mg CBD.
