OBJECTIVES:

  • To describe the incidence and characteristics of and change in pain related to paclitaxel infusions over several courses in patients receiving paclitaxel weekly or every 2-4 weeks with or without neurotoxic chemotherapy.
  • To investigate the association between paclitaxel-induced acute pain syndrome symptoms and eventual chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.
  • To perform exome-sequencing analysis and identify genetic variants that predict paclitaxel- induced peripheral neuropathy.
  • To identify clinical phenotypes associated with paclitaxel toxicity (i.e., acute pain syndrome and neuropathy).
  • To explore whether there are any evident differences between results seen in the majority Caucasian population and the minority populations.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are grouped according to paclitaxel dosing schedule (weekly vs every 2-4 weeks) and concurrent use of neurotoxic agent (yes vs no).

Blood samples are collected at baseline for correlative laboratory studies, including genetic biomarker and polymorphism studies.

Study groups in NCT00860041
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group IPatients complete pain questionnaires at baseline, 2-8 days after each weekly paclitaxel treatment given in combination with a neurotoxic agent, and then monthly for 1 year. Information about the type, location, and duration of pain and neuropathy as well as types of interventions used to manage the pain symptoms and the patients' pain responses is collected.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum of the worst pain scores from the initiation of paclitaxel therapy (day 1) until day 7 (first week of therapy)

    Measured: Up to day 7

Secondary outcomes (7)

  1. Maximum of the average pain score

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. Area under the curve of worst, average, and least pain

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  3. Worst pain reported for the overall week

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  4. Rate of non-prescription pain medication use

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  5. Rate of opioid use

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  6. Rate of other pain therapy use

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  7. Correlation of the worst pain score for the first dose of therapy with subsequent neuropathy scores

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chemotherapeutic Agent Toxicity and Neurotoxicity, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 279 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 279 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum of the worst pain scores from the initiation of paclitaxel therapy (day 1) until day 7 (first week of therapy) (time frame: Up to day 7). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00860041, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jul 2016.
