Evaluation of Loratadine for G-CSF Induced Bone Pain in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

Wake Forest University Health Sciences61 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this project is to assess the efficacy of loratadine in decreasing the incidence and severity of bone pain following G-CSF administration in patients with hematologic malignancies, patients undergoing mobilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells, and patients who have undergone an autologous hematopoietic cell transplant. This is a different patient population than those being assessed in current clinical trials.

Objectives The primary objective is to determine the incidence of bone pain following G-CSF administration in patients with hematologic malignancies, patients undergoing mobilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells, and patients who have undergone an autologous hematopoietic cell transplant. Incidence will be determined via patient-reported incidence following G-CSF administration. Secondary objectives include determining the efficacy of loratadine for bone pain prevention as indicated by a decrease in incidence and a decrease in severity (questions 4 and 5 of the survey).
