Brief summary

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies whether auranofin will relieve pain following paclitaxel in patients who have previously experienced paclitaxel-induced pain. Auranofin is a drug given by mouth to treat other diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and is being studied to see if it will decrease pain following paclitaxel.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether one dose of auranofin given the day following administration of paclitaxel decreases pain as assessed by daily completion of the Modified Brief Pain Inventory scale for seven days. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess whether auranofin is well tolerated in this setting. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. ARM I: Patients receive auranofin orally (PO) on day 2. ARM II: Patients receive placebo PO on day 2. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 21-28 days.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Count/Percentage of Patients Who Report Having Experienced the Paclitaxel-induced Pain Syndrome (PIAPS) for One Week After Paclitaxel After Enrollment to the Current Trial, Assessed by the Modified Brief Pain Inventory Scale (BPI)Up to 28 daysThe primary endpoint is the per arm count/percentage of patients who report having experienced the PIAPS for one week after paclitaxel after enrollment to the current trial. Pain was assessed on the question 'Please rate your pain by circling the one number that best describes your pain at its worst in the last 24 hours'. The count of participants who report having experienced the PIAPS for one week after paclitaxel after enrollment to the current trial circling 'less than 4' and 'greater than or equal to 4' for each day between day 2 to day 8 are reported below. Modified Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores corresponding to more /worse pain. Fisher's Exact Test will be used to compare the frequency of patients who experienced PIAPS between the two arms.
