Brief Summary: RATIONALE Gabapentin may be effective in relieving pain and other symptoms of peripheral neuropathy It is not yet known if gabapentin is effective in treating peripheral neuropathy in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of gabapentin in treating pain and other symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine whether gabapentin improves the pain and other symptoms in cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy
Determine the effect of this drug on symptom distress mood states functional abilities and overall quality of life in these patients
Determine the toxic effects of this drug in these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled multicenter study Patients are stratified according to neurotoxic chemotherapy active vs nonactive and discontinued vs completed and neurotoxic chemotherapeutic agents vinca alkaloids vs taxanes vs platinum-based compounds vs combination of two or more of the above agents Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive titrating doses of oral gabapentin twice daily and then three times daily for 3 weeks Patients then receive a fixed dose of oral gabapentin three times daily for 3 weeks Patients cross-over to therapy as in arm II at week 8
Arm II Patients receive titrating doses of oral placebo and then a fixed dose of oral placebo as in arm I Patients cross-over to therapy as in arm I at week 8

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and then at the end of weeks 6 8 and 14

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 100 patients 50 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study
