Buspirone in Reducing Shortness of Breath in Patients With Cancer
27. oktober 2015 opdateret af: Gary Morrow, University of Rochester
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.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
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.

Dyspnea as Measured by Oxygen Cost Diagram (OCD)
Tidsramme: 28 days after beginning study drug or placebo
|
OCD was used to evaluate dyspnea on exertion and activities of daily living.
OCD is a visual analog scale for quantifying a patient's evaluation of tolerance of exertion, which corresponds to oxygen requirements at different activity levels.
It is measured as a score of 2 (sleeping) to 14 (brisk walking uphill).
HIgher scores indicate fewer limitations due to dyspnea.
