PREAMBLE

STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW As many as 100 million adults in the United States suffer from chronic pain.1 Among the multitude of available treatment modalities, opioids are the cornerstone for cancer pain treatment and palliative care, and they have gained increasing acceptance as an important therapeutic option for carefully selected patients with chronic noncancer pain.2,3 Yet, opioid side effects often create significant barriers to good patient outcomes.4,5 Constipation is the most common opioid-related adverse effect, affecting up to 50% of patients on long-term therapy.6-10 Opioid-induced constipation is especially burdensome because—unlike many other adverse effects of opioids—patients do not develop tolerance to treatment-related reductions in bowel motility and increases in gastrointestinal fluid absorption.5 Clinicians must proactively consider and appropriately manage opioid-related side effects—most notably, constipation. By pre-emptively explaining the risk for opioid-induced constipation, clinicians can prepare patients to discuss changes in their bowel habits and adopt prophylactic or additional management strategies that can ease this burdensome side effect. During this Interactive Exchange™ program, expert faculty will provide practical insights into structured evaluations of bowel habits, prophylactic bowel regimens, and newer pharmacologic approaches that antagonize opioid receptor activation in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby targeting the underlying cause of opioid-induced constipation.

TARGET AUDIENCE The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of pain specialists and other health care providers involved in the treatment of patients with opioid-induced constipation.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to: • Evaluate baseline bowel habits, risk factors for OIC development, and ongoing changes in bowel function in patients on long-term opioid therapy

PREAMBLE

• Implement a prophylactic treatment plan to address OIC concurrent with the initiation of opioid therapy • Analyze current pharmacotherapies for OIC based on mechanisms of action and data on efficacy and safety • Tailor treatment regimens for patients experiencing OIC according to symptom severity, past treatment responses, and patient preferences • Discuss the essential elements of opioid pharmacology with specific focus on the effects of opioid receptor activation in the gastrointestinal tract • Communicate with opioid-treated patients about treatment-emergent adverse events through open, patient-centered dialogue throughout the course of therapy

PROGRAM AGENDA 6:30 pm – 7:00 pm Registration, Meal, Preactivity Assessment 7:00 pm – 7:10 pm Disease Management Primer 7:10 pm – 7:55 pm Case Series in Opioid-Induced Constipation 7:55 pm – 8:15 pm Choose-a-Case 8:15 pm – 8:30 pm Postactivity Assessment and Question and Answer Session
