Gabapentin for the Reduction of Radiation Therapy Induced Pain During the Treatment of Oropharyngeal Cancer

NCT03269344 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

Strategies to minimize and mitigate external beam radiation therapy related mucositis and pain during the treatment of head and neck cancer remain limited. The investigators hypothesize that gabapentin could be used to delay or reduce treatment-related pain, reliance on opioid medication, and improve the quality of life for these patients.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03269344

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03269344 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 3, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 65 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Henry Ford Health System, which has 171 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Oropharynx Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Placebo Oral Capsule is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03269344 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Michigan. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
