Duloxetine to Prevent Oxaliplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
This phase II/III trial studies the best dose of duloxetine and how well it works in preventing pain, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness (peripheral neuropathy) caused by treatment with oxaliplatin in patients with stage II-III colorectal cancer. Duloxetine increases the amount of certain chemicals in the brain that help relieve depression and pain. Giving duloxetine in patients undergoing treatment with oxaliplatin for colorectal cancer may help prevent peripheral neuropathy.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criterea
- Stage II-III colorectal cancer patients scheduled to receive oxaliplatin via one of the following treatment regimens:
* FOLFOX (3-month): 510 mg/m^2 (total planned maximum cumulative dose) over 12 weeks (6 cycles), in which patients are scheduled to receive oxaliplatin 85 mg/m^2 every 2 week
* FOLFOX (6-month): 1020 mg/m^2 (total planned maximum cumulative dose) over 24 weeks (12 cycles) in which patients are scheduled to receive oxaliplatin 85 mg/m^2 every 2 weeks
* CAPOX (3-month): 520 mg/m^2 (total planned maximum cumulative dose) over 12 weeks (4 cycles) in which patients are scheduled to receive oxaliplatin 130 mg/m^2 every 3 weeks
- No prior neurotoxic chemotherapy
- No pre-existing clinical or pre-clinical peripheral neuropathy from any cause
- Patients with the following comorbid conditions are not eligible:
* History of seizure disorder
* Narrow-angle glaucoma
* History of suicidal thoughts
* Symptoms of or a history of schizophrenia, bipolar disease, and/or a major depression
* A serious eating disorder such as bulimia or anorexia
* Known diagnosis of ethanol (ETOH) addiction/dependence within the past 10 years
- Concomitant medications:
* No concomitant use of other adjuvant pharmacologic interventions (e.g., gabapentin, pregabalin, venlafaxine) with known or hypothesized efficacy for peripheral neuropathy. Must be discontinued at least 7 days prior to start of protocol treatment
* No concomitant use of non-pharmacologic interventions (known or hypothesized) for CIPN (e.g., cryotherapy, acupuncture)
* No anticipated or concurrent use of warfarin or heparin products while patients are receiving study drug. No anticipated or concurrent use of any antidepressant or serotonin-altering agent or other potent CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g. paroxetine, fluoxetine, quinidine) known to interact with duloxetine, due to concern regarding cumulative toxicity and potential drug interactions. Use of an monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) or other antidepressants must be discontinued at least 14 days prior to start of protocol treatment
* Chronic concomitant treatment with drugs that are extensively metabolized by CYP2D6 and that have a narrow therapeutic index, including certain antidepressants, phenothiazines, and Type 1C antiarrhythmics should be approached with caution
** Concomitant administration of duloxetine and thioridazine should be avoided
* Chronic concomitant treatment with strong CYP1A2 inhibitors should be avoided during this trial due to concern regarding cumulative toxicity and potential drug interactions
- Not pregnant and not nursing, because this study involves an investigational agent whose genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects on the developing fetus and newborn are unknown. Therefore, for women of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test done =< 7 days prior to registration is required
- Age >= 25 years. Duloxetine black box warnings indicate an increased risk of suicide in patients < 25 years of age
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
- In order to complete the mandatory patient-completed measure, patients must be able to speak and read English
- Calculated creatinine clearance > 30 mL/min
- Aspartate aminotransferases (AST)/serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) =< 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
- ePRO-E ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
* Registration to A221805-SI1 (OPEN Step 2) is closed to accrual as of 09/15/2022
- Must be enrolled in A221805
- Participant must own a smartphone or tablet computer, and have access to Wi-Fi
