Targeted drug delivery (TDD)
allows your cancer patients
to take control of their pain by giving them the ability to
manage breakthrough pain
3 times faster compared to
conventional medication
and receive pain relief with
less systemic opioid side effects.6,7,8
burden of cancer pain & side effects






HYPOTHESIS OF DISTRIBUTION OF PATIENTS BETWEEN THE WHO 3-STEP ANALGESIC LADDER IN REAL-LIFE PRACTICE (MODIFIED FROM ORHAN ET AL, 2008)4



PAIN RESPONSE TO TRANSDERMAL AND ORAL OPIOIDS - PATIENTS WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE PAIN mANAGEMENT ACCORDING TO STAGE 3 OF THE WHO ANALGESIC LADDER (MODIFIED FROM CORLI ET AL, 2016)5

Adverse events related to transdermal and oral opioids – patients with moderate to severe pain managed according to stage 3 of the WHO analgesic ladder (Modified from Corli et al., 2016) 5

MANAGE REFRACTORY CANCER PAIN WITH INTRAThECAL DRUG DELIVERY7,8,12



MORE PATIENTS with less fatigue and reduced consciousness compared to conventional medication.7
MORE PATIENTS able to better control breakthrough pain and 3x faster with myPTM™ compared to conventional medication.6
MORE PATIENTS with increased pain control and reduced toxicity compared to conventional medication.7
WOULD I DO IT AGAIN? YES, BUT I WOULD DO IT EARLIER!
