简要总结
RATIONALE: Methadone, morphine, or oxycodone may help relieve pain caused by cancer. It is not yet known whether methadone is more effective than morphine or oxycodone in treating pain in patients with cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying methadone to see how well it works compared with morphine or oxycodone in treating pain in patients with cancer.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To compare the effectiveness of an opioid rotation to oral methadone versus an opioid rotation to another long-acting strong opioid (sustained-release morphine or oxycodone) in controlling pain (i.e., analgesia) in patients with cancer.
Secondary
- To compare the tolerability of an opioid rotation to oral methadone versus an opioid rotation to another long-acting strong opioid (sustained-release morphine or oxycodone).
- To identify a subset of patients most likely to benefit from an opioid rotation to oral methadone, in terms of significant improvement in pain control or opioid tolerability.

研究组 & 干预措施
Arm I: Opioid rotation to oral methadone
Participants are switched from their current opioid medication (oxycodone or morphine) to methadone. Participants receive oral methadone 2-3 times daily for 4 weeks.
干预措施: methadone hydrochloride (Drug)
Arm II: Opioid rotation to another long-acting strong opioid
Participants currently receiving oxycodone are switched to sustained-release (SR) morphine. Participants currently receiving morphine are switched to SR oxycodone. Participants receive either oral SR morphine or oxycodone 2-3 times daily for 4 weeks.
干预措施: morphine sulfate (Drug)
Arm II: Opioid rotation to another long-acting strong opioid
Participants currently receiving oxycodone are switched to sustained-release (SR) morphine. Participants currently receiving morphine are switched to SR oxycodone. Participants receive either oral SR morphine or oxycodone 2-3 times daily for 4 weeks.
干预措施: oxycodone hydrochloride (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants With at Least a 3-point Reduction in Pain Score on the M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI)
时间窗: 28 days
MDASI questionnaire completed on days 8, 15, and 22 after enrollment. The 'primary success' is defined as a 3-point reduction in pain score on the MDASI. Scores from baseline and from four weeks later compared using the MDASI average pain intensity on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain).
次要结局
- Number of Participants With 30% Reduction in Total Summary Score for the Individual Composite Drug Toxicity Score (CDTS) Items(28 days)
