Brief Summary: RATIONALE Morphine that is inhaled may be more rapidly absorbed than morphine that is given by mouth It is not yet known if inhaled morphine is more effective than morphine given by mouth in relieving breakthrough pain

PURPOSE Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of inhaled morphine with that of morphine given by mouth in treating cancer patients who have breakthrough pain
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Compare the change in pain intensity during the 15 minutes immediately following aerosolized vs oral morphine sulfate in cancer patients with opioid-sensitive breakthrough pain II Compare preference for continued use of these regimens in these patients III Compare the pain relief in patients treated with these regimens IV Evaluate satisfaction of patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized open-label crossover multicenter study Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms Patients undergo titration of aerosolized morphine sulfate over days 1-7 to determine the optimal baseline and breakthrough dosage Arm I Patients receive aerosolized morphine sulfate as needed for breakthrough pain up to 4 inhalations every 15 minutes on days 8-14 Patients crossover to oral morphine sulfate as needed for breakthrough pain on days 15-21 Arm II Patients receive oral morphine sulfate as needed for breakthrough pain on days 8-14 Patients crossover to aerosolized morphine sulfate as needed for breakthrough pain up to 4 inhalations every 15 minutes on days 15-21 Patients may continue treatment with either oral or aerosolized morphine sulfate for an additional 60 days beginning on day 22 Quality of life is assessed weekly for 3 weeks Patients complete a pain management satisfaction survey at the end of each therapy crossover week

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 50 patients will be accrued for this study
