Clinical Trial Summary

This study compares patients' attitudes regarding marijuana products for medical use and other treatments for cancer-related pain. This study may help researchers gain better understanding of patient's perception on their use of marijuana products in treating cancer-related pain and other common cancer-related symptoms.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the patient's reported preference for cancer pain improvement with opioids, opioids with delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-marijuana and/or opioids with cannabidiol (CBD). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the association between perception of cancer-related symptom relief and use of THC-marijuana and/or CBD. II. To compare patient perception of THC-marijuana and/or CBD versus (vs.) cancer treatments in treatment of cancer. III. To evaluate patient report of adverse effects experienced while using THC-marijuana and/or CBD. IV. To evaluate patient reported concerns while using THC-marijuana and/or CBD. V. To evaluate patient attitude of dosing, forms and use of THC-marijuana and/or CBD. VI. To evaluate demographic, physical and psychosocial factors that influence patient perception and attitudes of THC-marijuana and/or CBD. VII. To explore the difference of patient perception of THC-marijuana and CBD in cancer centers in a legalized vs. a non-legalized state. VIII. To explore the patient reported preference of THC-marijuana and CBD for cancer pain and symptom relief of patients in a Supportive Care Center vs. Integrative Medicine Center at University of Texas (U.T.) MD Anderson. OUTLINE: Patients' medical records are reviewed and then complete questionnaires over 27 minutes.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Proportion of patients who prefer opioids with THC-marijuana and/or opioids with cannabidiol (CBD) to opioids alone for their cancer pain relief Will be calculated and reported along with a 95% confidence interval. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Perception of cancer-related symptom relief Will be associated with use of THC-Marijuana and/or CBD. Will be evaluated by generalized linear mixed models to account for the dependency among those patients who have used/are using both. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Patient perception of THC-marijuana and/or CBD Compared to cancer treatments in treatment of cancer. Will be evaluated by generalized linear mixed models to account for the dependency among those patients who have used/are using both. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary To evaluate patient report of adverse effects experienced while using THC-marijuana and/or CBD Patient reported outcomes will be summarized by frequency and proportion. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary To evaluate patient reported concerns while using THC-marijuana and/or CBD Patient reported outcomes will be summarized by frequency and proportion. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Patient attitude of dosing, forms and use of THC-marijuana and/or CBD Patient reported outcomes will be summarized by frequency and proportion. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Demographic, physical and psychosocial factors that influence patient perception and attitudes of THC-marijuana and/or CBD Will be evaluated by Wilcoxon rank sum (Kruskal-Wallis) test or chi-square (Fisher's exact) test, when appropriate. To further evaluate these associations, univariate and multivariable logistic regression models will be fitted. Multiple comparisons will be adjusted where appropriate. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary To explore the difference of patient perception of THC-marijuana and CBD in cancer centers in a legalized vs. a non-legalized state. Differences will be explored. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Patient reported preference of THC-Marijuana and CBD for cancer pain and symptom relief of patients Will be explored between a Supportive Care Center vs. Integrative Medicine Center at University of Texas (U.T.) MD Anderson. Will be evaluated by Wilcoxon rank sum (Kruskal-Wallis) test or chi-square (Fisher's exact) test, when appropriate. To further evaluate these associations, univariate and multivariable logistic regression models will be fitted. Multiple comparisons will be adjusted where appropriate. through study completion, an average of 1 year
