Device: Intrathecal Targeted Drug Delivery
Combination Product: Conservative medical management
Registration Number
NCT05674240
Lead Sponsor
Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Brief Summary

This Registry study will prospectively evaluate the differences in treatment outcomes in terms of pain intensity, pain interference, concomitant medication use, health-related quality of life, opioid adverse effects, and healthcare utilization between targeted drug delivery and conservative medication management only groups.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, open-label, short term patient registry where up to 169 subjects with cancer associated pain will be enrolled. Subjects with cancer associated pain who are receiving conservative medical management (CMM) only and cancer patients receiving Intrathecal Drug Delivery system (IDDs) along with CMM will be followed for up to 3 months. Subjects will be evaluated monthly up to 3 months from the medical care initiation which is the implant day for the IDDs group and start of the new treatment plan for the CMM group. Subjects that decide to cross-over to the IDDs group in a future date, will still be followed for their progress.

Based on routine care, subjects will be seen at day of implant, 1 month post-implant, 2 months post-implant, and 3- and 6- months post-implant.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Pain Intensity from Screening through 3-Months3-Months

Change from baseline to Month 3 post treatment plan implementation in average pain as measured through Numerical Rating Scale (0-10 where higher scores mean worse outcome)

Change in Pain Interference from Screening through 3-Months3-Months

Change from baseline to Month 3 post treatment plan implementation in pain interference as measured through Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-29)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Patient Well-Being3-Months

Average change from baseline to 3-Months in patient well-being as measured through Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy: General (FACT-G) (0-4 where higher scores mean worse outcome)

Change in Patient Global Impression Change3-Months

Average change from baseline to 3-Months in Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) (1-7 where higher scores mean better outcome)

Change in Drug Adverse Levels3-Months

Average change from baseline to 3-Months in drug adverse levels as assessed through the Common Toxicity Criteria

Change in Healthcare Utilization3-Months

Average change from baseline to 3-Months in healthcare utilization as assessed by number of emergency, inpatient, and outpatient visits due to pain

Change in Oral Opioid Intake3-Months

Average change from baseline to 3-Months in oral opioid intake
