Comparison of Nasal Fentanyl and Oral Transmucosal Fentanyl (Actiq) in Cancer Breakthrough Pain (FT-019-IM)

Primary:

• To compare the efficacy of nasal fentanyl (NF) to oral transmucosal fentanyl (Actiq®) (hereafter Actiq) in the management of breakthrough pain in cancer patients.

Secondary:

* To compare patients' general impression and preference of NF and Actiq * To explore the relationship between NF doses and dose of current opioid for breakthrough pain (BTP) and the relationship between dose of NF and of background opioid * To assess safety and tolerability of NF
