A 52-Week, Open Label, Longterm Treatment Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of BEMA® Buprenorphine in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Chronic Pain

The purpose of this study is to determine whether BEMA Buprenorphine is safe in the treatment
of chronic pain.

This is an open label study of up to approximately 52 weeks duration to assess the safety and
