A Phase III Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Gabapentin in the Management of Hot Flashes in Men
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the effectiveness of gabapentin in managing hot flashes in men with prostate
cancer.
- Determine the response of patients to this drug.
- Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.
- Determine the quality of life of patients treated with this drug.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients
are stratified according to the number of hot flashes per day (2-3 vs 4-9 vs 10 or more) and
duration of hot flash symptoms (less than 9 months vs 9 months or more). Patients are
randomized to one of four treatment arms.
All patients are observed for 7 days prior to drug administration in order to collect
baseline hot flash information.
- Arm I: Patients receive oral gabapentin once daily on days 1-28.
- Arm II: Patients receive oral gabapentin once daily on days 1-7 and twice daily on days
8-28.
- Arm III: Patients receive oral gabapentin once daily on days 1-7, twice daily on days
8-14, and three times daily on days 15-28.
- Arm IV: Patients receive oral placebo on one of three schedules corresponding to arms
I-III.
Patients in all arms may continue therapy with gabapentin for an additional 8 weeks.
Quality of life is assessed at baseline, day 28, and at the end of the additional 8 weeks.
Patients are followed at 6, 12, and 24 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 220 patients (55 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this
study within 1 year.
Interventional
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
