Dexamethasone for cancer-related fatigue in advanced cancer patients - multi-center phase II trial (Dex8mgPII)

June. 30, 2020

32

Age median 65.5 y.o. Male 14/32 PS 1/2/3 = 0/6/25 Cancer site: Cololectal 9, Lung 5, Esopagus 5

FPI: 2017.10.26 LPI: 2019.9.18

Gr 3-4: fatigue 3, delirium 1, hyperglycemia 1, insomnia 1

Primary outcome: The change of FACIT-F subscale at day 8 was 5.2 (95%CI 0.8-10.0)(p=0.02). The lower threshold of 95%CI was below 3. Secondary outcome: The change of NRS fatigue and ACS at day 8 were -0.76 (-1.8-0.3) and 5.6 (95%CI 2.5-8.8) (p<0.001). Seven severe adverse events were occured (fatigue 3, delirium 1, hyperglycemia 1, anemia 1 and insomnia 1).

The efficacy and safety were evaluated by phase II clinical trial for advanced cancer patients receiving only palliative care and with moderate fatigue. The efficacy and safety were found. However, the efficacy did not achieve the preset outcomes.
