The purpose of this trial was to find out how well cebranopadol is tolerated and how often, and which, adverse reactions occur when it is taken every day for a longer period of time. In addition, information was collected how cebranopadol affects pain and well-being in patients suffering from cancer-related pain.
The trial consisted of 3 phases: Titration Phase, Maintenance Phase, and Follow-Up. The total duration of the trial was approximately 28 weeks for each individual participant, including the Follow-up. The participants received cebranopadol for a maximum of approximately 26 weeks.

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAEs)
The safety of cebranopadol was assessed by the number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs). A TEAE was any adverse event that occurred after the first administration of investigational medicinal product (IMP), i.e., cebranopadol in this study. In addition, pretreatment adverse events which worsened during the treatment period were also considered TEAEs.
Time frame: Up to 28 weeks (26 weeks of cebranopadol treatment and 2 weeks follow up after the last dose)
Intensity of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events
A Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) was defined as any Adverse Event (AE) that occurred on or after the first intake of cebranopadol or a pretreatment AE which worsened during the treatment period. TEAEs were classified by the investigator as falling into 1 of 3 categories: Mild: Signs and symptoms that can be easily tolerated. Symptoms can be ignored and disappear when the participant is distracted. Moderate: Symptoms cause discomfort but are tolerable; they cannot be ignored and affect concentration. Severe: Symptoms which affect usual daily activity. For TEAE where the intensity changed over time, the maximum intensity observed during the whole duration of the adverse event was documented.
Time frame: Up to 28 weeks (26 weeks of cebranopadol treatment and 2 weeks follow-up after the last dose)
Changes From Baseline in the Average Pain Intensity in the Last Week During the Treatment Period
Participants were asked "Please rate your pain by selecting the one number that best describes your pain on average during the last week." and scored their average pain intensity during the last week of the treatment period on an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) where a score of 0 indicated "no pain" and a score of 10 indicated "pain as bad as you can imagine". The absolute change from baseline for the average pain intensity during the last week was determined for all participants that scored their pain intensities. A mean value for all participants was calculated.
Time frame: Baseline Visit (Day 1) to End of Treatment Visit (up to 26 weeks).
