Study Summary

Neuropathic pain / peripheral neuropathy (NP/PN) is a known painful complication of vincristine (VCR) therapy; evidence supporting the best treatment plan for pediatric patients is limited. Gabapentin is frequently used for VCR-related NP/PN, with variable dosing and scheduling regimens, and with varying measures of success. The hypothesis of the study is that gabapentin will reduce the severity of NP/PN in patients receiving vincristine during treatment for ALL on the Total XVI protocol (or for those being treated "as per TOTXVI protocol"), as measured by two outcome measures: the daily dose of morphine used as needed for pain in addition to either gabapentin or placebo, as randomized, and the pain scores assessed daily.

Primary Outcome

The response to therapy will be measured by pain intensity scores and daily use of morphine doses for breakthrough pain as described in the study objectives. Daily assessments will continue during treatment with the study drug (gabapentin or placebo) irrespective of patient response to study treatment. and toddlers (less than age 4 years) or other children who cannot self report, use the FLACC Scale Score each component as a subscore (face, legs, activity, cry, consolability) Total subscores to
