Participant Flow

Opened in 02/2006 (2-arm design with a 4 week treatment period). The 1st patient enrolled in 05/2006; 7 patients enrolled before it was suspended in 04/2007 pending revision (new 3-arm design \& 12 week treatment period). Re-opened in 09/2007, but drug manufacturing \& funding issues forced it to terminate with no further accrual in 05/2008.

Measure
All Participants (Original Version)
n=7 Participants
All 7 patients enrolled were during the original version of the study design (2 arms: d-cycloserine 250mg vs. placebo - twice daily for 4 weeks). Since the study went on to change design and then terminate prior to completing accrual, it is not useful to report baseline measures by the original arms/groups.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From the date that the first patient is registered until the last patient completes the 12 weeks of study intervention (approximately 1 year)

Population: No patients were analyzed for this outcome measure due to a change in study design followed by early termination of the study.

Compare patient-reported pain intensity scores after the treatment period (12 weeks) between the 3 arms of the trial.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From the date that the first patient is registered until the last patient completes the 12 weeks of study intervention (approximately 1 year)

Population: No patients were analyzed for this outcome measure due to a change in study design followed by early termination of the study.

Compare individual patients' self-reported pain relief scores before and after the treatment period.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From the date that the first patient is registered until the last patient completes the 12 weeks of study intervention (approximately 1 year)

Population: No patients were analyzed for this outcome measure due to a change in study design followed by early termination of the study.

Compare changes in neuropathic pain scores within each arm, as well as between the 3 arms of the study. Neuropathic pain will be assessed using 3 tools: the Neuropathic Pain Inventory, the FACT-Taxane, and the Leonard Scale.
