Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized Study of Optimal Pain Management: Standard Pain Control Versus Early Intervention With Intrathecal Therapy in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
RATIONALE: Giving medications in different ways may change their effectiveness in
controlling pain. It is not yet known whether intrathecal therapy is more effective than
standard therapy in controlling pain in patients with pancreatic cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying standard pain control to see how well it
works compared with intrathecal therapy in controlling pain in patients with locally
advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To compare the effectiveness of pain control comprising intrathecal opioid delivery
versus the standard analgesia-delivery method in patients with locally advanced,
unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Secondary
- To assess the difference of a total amount of opioid consumption (parenteral morphine
equivalent) between two different opioids-delivery groups at one month of treatment.
- To assess the average of percent change in Karnofsky performance status with respect to
the baseline status between two different analgesic-delivery groups at one month of
treatment.
- To assess the difference in quality of life between two different opioids-delivery
groups at one month of treatment using the EORTC QLQ-C30.
- To assess overall survival of these patients.
- To assess the safety profile of two different analgesic-delivery methods (i.e., adverse
event and serious adverse event).
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to Karnofsky performance status (60-80% vs >
80%). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I (standard pain management): Patients are evaluated by the JHH Pain Medicine
Integrated Team for pain, for the potential of diagnostic/neurolytic celiac plexus
block, and undergo the institution of or modification of or continuation and titration
of oral or parenteral analgesics. Patients undergo a limited, problem-oriented physical
exam including weight, vital signs, Karnofsky performance status (KPS), assessment of
previously abnormal findings or new complaints, pain scores, analgesia consumption,
side effects (i.e., sleepiness, nausea, pruritus, and constipation), and
quality-of-life score (EORTC QLQ-C30) once every 2 weeks for 3 months and then once a
month thereafter. Patients also keep a diary of pain scores and side effects during the
trial. Patients may have their treatment titrated as needed to control their pain.
Patients who are not adequately pain controlled or develop debilitating side effects
from their therapy may be managed by adjuvant analgesics or be allowed to crossover
into the treatment arm of the study to provide compassionate care.
- Arm II (intrathecal therapy): Patients undergo implantation of a Medtronic intrathecal
pump and catheter system for delivery of morphine sulfate directly into the spinal
fluid. Following implantation, patients undergo a limited, problem-oriented physical
exam including vital signs, KPS, assessment of previously abnormal findings or new
complaints, pain scores, analgesia consumption, and quality-of life-score (EORTC
QLQ-C30) once every 2 weeks for 3 months and then once a month thereafter. Patients are
also evaluated by the Interventional Pain Treatment Team for wound status, presence of
symptoms of post-dural puncture headache, signs of infection, or meningitis. Patients
are followed by the JHH Pain Medicine Integrated Team for evaluation of pain and for
institution of or modification of or continuation and titration of oral or parenteral
analgesics.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 1 year.
