Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Analgesic Effect as Assessed by Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Item 5 Score (Pain on Average)
At each study visit from screening to week 16

The analgesic effect was assessed by the BPI item 5 "pain on average" using a 0 to 10 numeric rating scale, with 0 being "no pain" and 10 being "pain as bad as you can imagine".

Change From Baseline in Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Questionnaire Item 6 "Pain Right Now" Score at Week 24 (Per Protocol [PP] Population)
baseline and week 24

Assessment of non-inferiority of OROS hydromorphone compared with sustained release (SR) oxycodone with regard to pain control by measuring the change from baseline in pain severity, using BPI item 6 "pain right now" score at week 24. Scores could have ranged from 0 to 10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine. Negative change from baseline scores indicate improvement in "pain right now".

Change From Baseline in BPI Questionnaire Item 6 "Pain Right Now" Score at Week 24 (Intent to Treat [ITT] Population)
baseline and week 24

Assessment of non-inferiority of OROS hydromorphone compared with SR oxycodone with regard to pain control by measuring the change from baseline in pain severity, using BPI item 6 "pain right now" score at week 24. Scores could have ranged from 0 to 10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine. Negative change from baseline scores indicate improvement in "pain right now".

Equi-analgesic Dosage of OROS Hydromorphone Once-daily and SR Oxycodone Twice-daily (PP Population)
week 24

If non-inferiority of OROS hydromorphone was established, the daily dose of OROS hydromorphone and SR oxycodone that induced the same pain control was to be calculated (average dose used at week 24). Relative equi-analgesic dose was defined as mean dose/allowed maximum dose\*100. Allowed maximum doses were 32mg OROS hydromorphone and 80mg SR oxycodone respectively.

Equi-analgesic Dosage of OROS Hydromorphone Once-daily and SR Oxycodone Twice-daily (ITT Population)
week 24

If non-inferiority of OROS hydromorphone was established, the daily dose of OROS hydromorphone and SR oxycodone that induced the same pain control was to be calculated (average dose used at week 24). Relative equi-analgesic dose was defined as mean dose/allowed maximum dose\*100. Allowed maximum doses were 32mg OROS hydromorphone and 80mg SR oxycodone respectively.

Equi-analgesic Dose at Steady-state (PP Population)
week 4 to week 24

Dose of OROS hydromorphone and SR oxycodone that induced the same pain control at steady state, defined as the mean dose from week 4 to week 24.

Equi-analgesic Dose at Steady State (ITT Population)
week 4 to week 24

Dose of OROS hydromorphone and SR oxycodone that induced the same pain control at steady state, defined as the mean dose from week 4 to week 24.
