Long Acting Methylphenidate (Concerta™) for Cancer-Related Fatigue: A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind Placebo Controlled Study
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Test the efficacy of long-acting methylphenidate in patients with cancer-related
fatigue as measured using an item of the Brief Fatigue Inventory.
Secondary
- Evaluate the tolerability and adverse events associated with this drug in these
patients.
- Study the effect of this drug on quality of life (QOL)-related variables (vitality,
sleep quality, overall QOL, QOL domains, other fatigue measures, and perceived
treatment efficacy) in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients
are stratified according to disease stage (0, I, or II vs III or IV), level of fatigue at
baseline (4-7 vs 8-10), concurrent biological therapy (yes vs no), concurrent chemotherapy
(yes vs no), and concurrent radiotherapy (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2
treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive oral methylphenidate daily on days 1-28.
- Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo daily on days 1-28. Patients in both arms
complete questionnaires to assess their symptoms of fatigue, overall mood, quality of
life, sleep quality, and adverse effects from treatment at baseline and once weekly for
4 weeks. Patients also complete a Symptom Experience Diary.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 140 patients will be accrued for this study.
Interventional
Allocation: Randomized, Masking: Double-Blind, Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
Total fatigue as measured by the Brief Fatigue Inventory at baseline and at weeks 1-4
