Population Pharmacokinetics of Oxycodone and Metabolites in Patients with Cancer-Related Pain

Oxycodone is frequently used for treating cancer-related pain, while not much is known about the factors that influence treatment outcomes in these patients. We aim to unravel these factors by developing a population-pharmacokinetic model to assess the pharmacokinetics of oxycodone and its metabolites in cancer patients, and to associate this with pain scores, and adverse events. Hospitalized patients with cancer-related pain, who were treated...
