INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE Adults: TEVA-FENTANYL (fentanyl transdermal system) is indicated for the management of pain severe enough to require daily, continuous, long-term opioid treatment and:  that is opioid-responsive;  and for which alternative options are inadequate Only for use in patients who are already receiving opioid therapy at a total daily dose of at least 60 mg/day Morphine Equivalents. TEVA-FENTANYL is not indicated as an as-needed (prn) analgesic. The initial dose of TEVA-FENTANYL should be obtained or calculated from the conversion tables (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION), and must not be higher than that dose which is equivalent to the total dose of opioids the patient is receiving at the time of the switch to the patch. Because serious or life-threatening hypoventilation could occur, TEVA-FENTANYL should not TEVA-FENTANYL (12, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mcg/h) Page 3 of 60 be used in:  non-opioid-tolerant patients  the management of post-operative pain Pediatrics (< 18 years of age): The safety and efficacy of fentanyl transdermal system has not been studied in the pediatric population.

Other review policies

For Duragesic: no applicable EAP criteria are held and no ODB benefit is established. These policies do not establish coverage.

For rare, immediately life-, limb- or organ-threatening circumstances, the Compassionate Review Policy may consider an unfunded drug or indication, subject to its criteria and without bypassing the drug review process. Compassionate Review Policy

Compassionate Review Policy: source quote
Where there are rare clinical circumstances in immediately life, limb, or organ-threatening conditions, the Executive Officer will also consider requests for drugs or indications in situations where there has not been a decision by the Executive Officer to provide funding of the drug or indication as part of the Ontario Drug Benefit program (and the EAP), and the drug or indication requested would not circumvent the established review process for new drugs or indications as part of the drug submission process for listing within the Ontario Drug Benefit program. Requests must meet the criteria for the Compassionate Review Policy.

For cancer drugs, Case-by-Case Review considers rare, immediately life-threatening circumstances when no satisfactory funded treatment exists; its criteria and application process apply. Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs)

Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs): source quote
Note: Requests for cancer drugs are considered under the Case-by-Case Review Program (CBCRP) which is administered by Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario) on behalf of the Ministry of Health. The CBCRP considers funding requests for drugs (both oral therapies and injectable drugs) for the treatment of cancer in patients who have a rare clinical circumstance that is immediately life-threatening (death is likely within a matter of months) and who require treatment with an unfunded drug, because there is no other satisfactory and funded treatment. Please refer to the Ontario Health website for information on the application process, FAQs, eligibility criteria and program policies.
