Study Summary

RATIONALE: Topical cream containing amitriptyline and ketamine may help relieve pain, numbness, tingling, and other symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. It is not yet known whether topical amitriptyline and ketamine cream is more effective than a placebo in treating peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying the side effects and how well topical amitriptyline and ketamine cream work compared with a placebo in treating peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy in patients with cancer.

Primary Outcome

Cancer survivors who completed chemotherapy at least 1 month prior and had Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) (greater than or equal to 4 out of 10) were enrolled. CIPN was assessed using average scores from a 7-day daily diary that asks patients to rate the average "pain, numbness, or tingling in their hands and feet over the past 24 hours" on an 11-point numeric rating scale at baseline and 6 weeks post intervention. CIPN ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).
