Brief Summary:
RATIONALE: Naproxen may help prevent or lessen bone pain caused by pegfilgrastim. It is not yet known whether naproxen is more effective than a placebo in preventing bone pain caused by pegfilgrastim in patients with non-hematologic cancer undergoing chemotherapy.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying naproxen to see how well it works compared with a placebo in preventing bone pain caused by pegfilgrastim in patients with non-hematologic cancer undergoing chemotherapy.
Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
* To compare the efficacy of daily administration of naproxen vs placebo in preventing or reducing the severity and duration of pegfilgrastim-induced bone pain (PIBP) in patients with non-hematologic malignancies undergoing chemotherapy.
Secondary
* To identify potential risk factors for the development of PIBP.
* To identify potential clinical predictors for the response or failure to respond to naproxen in preventing PIBP.
* To assess the toxicity of naproxen when administered in the preventive setting.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified by Clinical Community Oncology Program (CCOP) site. Patients are randomized to 1 treatment arm vs placebo.
* Arm I: Patients receive oral naproxen twice daily beginning on the day pegfilgrastim is administered (day 2, 3, or 4) and continuing for 5-8 days.
* Arm II: Patients receive matching placebo twice daily beginning on the day pegfilgrastim is administered (day 2, 3, or 4) and continuing for 5-8 days.
