Start date: October 1, 2024
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Background: Cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) is common in people with cancer. Bone cancer can also lead to anxiety, depression, and reduced mobility and quality of life. Researchers believe a research drug called resiniferatoxin (RTX) may be able to help. Objective: To learn whether RTX is safe and can reduce cancer induced bone pain. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with CIBP that is not relieved by standard treatments Design: Participants will have up to 6 outpatient visits over about 7 months. These will include: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests. Thermal testing: a disk placed on the skin to test ability to sense temperature in and around the area of pain Chest x-ray EKG: stickers are placed on the chest to measure heart signals ECG: measures electrical activity of the heart Participants will have 1 inpatient visit lasting 2-4 days. This will include: Catheter inserted into a vein in the arm. They are given anesthesia, sedation, and x-ray contrast. A needle is passed through the skin of the back to inject the RTX.
