About this study

Official title: Predictive Factors of Analgesic Response in Patients With Pain Associated With Bone Metastasys: a Multicenter Prospective Observational Study

The study aims to improve the knowledge of pain associated with bone metastases, in particular to analyze the clinical course of patients who are affected by pain due to bone metastases, in order to better understand which factors may be related to a faster response to pain therapy.

Read the detailed description

This is a non-profit, non-pharmacological, multicenter prospective observational study. Enrollment will last for 24 months from the opening of the study.

The overall duration of the study will be 36 months.

Based on the primary endpoint, patients will be stratified into 5 groups, corresponding to different times of achievement of stable pain:

  1. patients who achieve stable pain at the first assessment (3 days)
  2. patients who achieve stable pain at the second or third assessment (6-9 days)
  3. patients who achieve stable pain at the fourth or fifth assessment (12-15 days)
  4. patients who achieve stable pain at the sixth or seventh assessment (18-21 days)
  5. patients who do not reach stable pain on the twenty-first day Based on the secondary endpoints, patients with and without neuropathic pain and with and without reaching PPG will be compared with the results of the HADS, EORT-QLQ-C30 [11] and Karnofsky scale [12-13] tests, in terms of final MEDD (morphine equivalent daily opioid dose) and type of drugs taken.

Enrolled patients will undergo validated tests, administered by appropriately trained personnel. All the tests mentioned here are in use in clinical practice.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Identify what are the possible factors associated with a faster achievement of stable pain.

    Specifically, the presence of a possible association between the analgesic response and factors related to the patient (clinical, demographic and laboratory), the neoplasm, the characteristics of symptomatic bone lesions and the results of the tests administered to the patient at enrollment and at the end-of-study visit will be sought.

    Primary end-point: addition of stable pain (NRS never greater than 3/10, for three consecutive days, with less than 3 intakes of analgesic therapy as needed (rescue dose) on each of these three days)

    Measured: From enrollment to 21 days following the start of analgesic treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To evaluate the incidence of neuropathic pain associated with bone metastases and its influence on the anxiety domain, quality of life, and patient autonomy.

    Incidence of neuropathic pain, defined based on the LANSS screening test and NeuPSIG guideline diagnostic algorithm.

    Whether or not PPG (personalized pain goal) is met

    Measured: From enrollment to 21 days following the start of analgesic treatment
