Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare efficacy of pain treatment with ITDD to efficacy of pain treatment with CMM in patients with pancreatic cancer pain.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a non-randomized, open-label, single-center study that will compare efficacy of pain treatment with ITDD to efficacy of pain treatment with CMM in patients suffering from pancreatic cancer pain.

There will be two treatment groups: Study group (ITDD): These subjects will have a Prometra System implanted and managed with the appropriate drug regimen to treat their pain. Systemic analgesics will not be prescribed for this group. Control group (CMM): These subjects will be treated with CMM to treat their pain.

A maximum of 30 subjects (maximum of 15 in each treatment group) may be enrolled in this study at one study center.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intrathecal Drug Delivery (ITDD)

These subjects will have a Prometra System implanted and managed with the appropriate drug regimen to treat their pain.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intrathecal Drug Delivery System

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Prometra Pump is a battery-operated, implantable, programmable infusion pump that dispenses pain medication into the intrathecal space through an implanted infusion catheter.

Conventional Medical Management (CMM)

These subjects will be treated with conventional medical management to treat their pain.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional Medical Management

Intervention Type OTHER

Treatment with conventional medical management will include using standard systemic pain medications such as narcotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and neuropathic medications (examples: gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta) that are typically used to treat pancreatic cancer pain.
