Opioid Dispensing Device for Post-Operative Pain in Cancer Patients
Sponsor: Columbia University
Summary
This research study will evaluate the use of, and participants experience with, a new device called Addinex that safely stores and dispenses opioid medication. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of the Addinex device in cancer patients undergoing cancer-related surgery that require pain control with opioids after the surgery. Participants will be asked to answer questions about their medical history and background, fill out questionnaires, use a mobile application associated with the device, and undergo a phone interview one month after stopping use of the device. This study aims to find out how participants like using the Addinex device as opposed to a traditional pill bottle. Results of this study will help determine if the Addinex device could be useful to patients in the future after surgeries, as opposed to typical pill bottles.

Addinex Device (ADX-27)
The device operates without the use of any electronics, wireless or firmware requirements. This is achieved through its mechanical system which uses a different randomized "passcode" for each dose that is loaded into a circular drum inside the device. The "passcodes" are provided by an online server through either a mobile app, web app, text service or call in service. The online server provides "passcodes" on a request basis, while following instructions set by the treating physicians.
