Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if fentanyl nasal spray can help
decrease pain related to cancer when used with other drugs for pain. Researchers also want to
know if this drug can help decrease the length of your stay in the Emergency Department.
In this study, fentanyl nasal spray will be compared to a placebo nasal spray. A placebo is
not a drug. It looks like the study drug but it is not designed to treat any disease or
illness. It is designed in this study to be compared with the study spray to learn if the
study spray has any real effect.
You will also be given intravenous (IV) pain drugs. You will be given these drugs even if you
decide not to take part in this study.
