- a phase III trial is currently enrolling to evaluate pain management strategies for patients undergoing chemoradiation for head and neck cancer?
Alliance A222301 (HOPE Study), led by Anurag Singh, MD, of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, is studying whether high-dose prophylactic gabapentin reduces the need for opioid medications in patients experiencing oral mucositis, a common side effect of treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
The study aims to assess differences in pain control and opioid use, along with other treatment-related outcomes. Learn more about this study: https://bit.ly/Alliance-A222301
