1 The international collaborative project to evaluate the availability and accessibility of opioids for the management of cancer pain in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Middle East: Final Data Nathan I Cherny Project coordinator Chair, ESMO Palliative Care Working Group Member, EAPC research steering committee Norman Levan Chair in Humanistic Medicine Dept Oncology Unit Head: Cancer pain and palliative Medicine Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel Chernyn@Netvision.net.il
2 The opioid regulatory paradox l 2 fundamental and conflicting needs 1. to ensure that opioid analgesics are available to the patients who need them. 2. to prevent these drugs from becoming a source of harm or abuse.
3 World Health Organization (WHO) + International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) on Regulations l Aim to maintain a balance between good patient care and diversion prevention. opioid manufacture, distribution, storage, prescription and dispensing l Guiding Principles 1. Preventing drug abuse and dependence is important. 2. Regulations should not hinder patients ability to receive the care they need and deserve. 3. Opioids should be available for cancer patients at hospital and community levels. 4. Physicians should be able to prescribe opioids according to the individual needs of each patient.
4 Over regulation l High burden of regulations to reduce substance abuse and to restrict the diversion of medicinal opioids into illicit markets that unduly interferes with medical availability for the relief of pain. l International public health problem.
5 Forms of overregulation identified by the WHO and INCB 1. requirements for patient permits 2. restrictions on prescriber privileges 3. interfere with clinical decision making regarding drug dosing (dose limits) 4. limits on duration of prescription i.e., 7 days supply only 5. restriction on opioid dispensing 6. complex prescription form requirements 7. intimidatory legal sanctions

7 Rest of the world l US, Australia +NZ: Well documented l The Rest: Sporadic reporting Inconsistent methodologies Lack of clear picture

9 Aims 1. To evaluate the formal availability and cost to the consumer of the range of opioid drugs used in the management of cancer. 2. To evaluate the barriers to the accessibility of opioid drugs for patients with cancer pain in each participating country.

65 Conclusions 1. In many places across Africa, Asia, ME and L Am+ Caribbean governments are failing cancer patients in delivery of adequate pain relief. 2. There is a need for increased availability of affordable opioids for the management of cancer pain. 3. In many places opioids on formulary are not routinely available. 4. Field reports suggest that overregulation of opioids is widespread. l 4 + barriers of varying severity 79/93 (84%) l 6 + barriers of varying severity 36/93 (39%)
