Based on 74 patients who received controlled release (CR) oxycodone/CR naloxone and 77 patients who received placebo. During CR oxycodone/CR naloxone treatment, 99 events were reported with a mean maximum severity of 1.5 compared with 107 events with a mean maximum severity of 1.6 in the placebo group. 7.2% and 6.0% of patients withdrew from the study due to adverse events in the CR oxycodone/CR naloxone and placebo groups, respectively (Figure 1)
