Buspirone in Reducing Shortness of Breath in Patients With Cancer
For Condition: Pulmonary Complications,unspecified adult solid tumor, protocol specific
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): University of Rochester , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Buspirone may be effective in reducing dyspnea (shortness of breath) in patients with cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to study the effectiveness of buspirone in reducing shortness of breath in patients who are undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Assess the degree to which buspirone can decrease the sensation of dyspnea in patients with malignant disease. - Estimate the incidence of dyspnea in patients seen in community oncology practice settings. - Investigate interrelationships of fatigue, depression, anxiety, and patient report of dyspnea. - Assess 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 participating center (CCOP site). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. - Arm I: Beginning on day 7 of chemotherapy, patients receive oral buspirone once a day for 3 days and then twice daily for up to 28 days. - Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo as in arm I. Dyspnea is assessed at baseline. Dyspnea, mood, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and quality of life are assessed within 5-7 days before chemotherapy and immediately following therapy. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 376 patients (188 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.
Eligibility:
Study Type: Interventional, Treatment
Minimum Age/Maximum Age: 18 Years/
Genders: Both
Protocol Entry Criteria: DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: - Diagnosis of cancer - Treatment includes the following scenarios: - May have had prior chemotherapy course(s) - Scheduled to receive at least 2 courses of chemotherapy - Courses may include multiple treatment days such as days 1-5 or day 1-day 8 regimens and may include oral regimens - Dyspnea as a symptom within the past 5 days (defined by a score of at least grade 2 on the Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale) - All underlying causes of dyspnea have received medical treatment per best clinical judgement of treating physician PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS: Age - 18 and over Performance status - ECOG 0-2 Life expectancy - Not specified Hematopoietic - Not specifed Hepatic - Adequate hepatic function (determined by treating oncologist) Renal - Adequate renal function (determined by treating oncologist) Cardiovascular - Adequate cardiac function (determined by treating oncologist) Other - Not pregnant or nursing - Fertile patients must use effective contraception - No history of mania or seizures - No prior hospitalization for any psychiatric condition - No prior hypersensitivity to buspirone - Able to swallow medication PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY: Biologic therapy - Not specified Chemotherapy - See Disease Characteristics Endocrine therapy - Not specified Radiotherapy - Concurrent radiotherapy allowed Surgery - Not specified Other - At least 2 weeks since prior psychotropic medication, including serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) - Concurrent narcotic medications allowed - Concurrent benzodiazepine medications allowed - No concurrent psychotropic medication, including serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or MAOIs - No concurrent alcohol
