  Purpose

In this study, the investigational products are naproxen, a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID), and loratadine, an anti-histamine. Both agents are being investigated as prophylactic medications to reduce the incidence and/or severity of bone pain in breast cancer subjects receiving adjuvant or neoadjuvant myelosuppressive chemotherapy and pegfilgrastim prophylaxis.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Bone pain (all grade) in cycle 1 [ Time Frame: Will be assessed 30 days after all subjects complete chemotherapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To estimate the difference in cycle 1 bone pain (all grade) between treatment groups (naproxen, loratadine, or no therapy) captured as part of adverse event (AE) reporting


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Bone pain (all grade) by cycle (2-4) and across cycles [ Time Frame: Will be assessed 30 days after all subjects complete chemotherapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Bone pain (all grade) by cycle (2-4) and across cycles (up to and including 4 cycles)

  • Severe (grade 3/4) bone pain by cycle and across cycles [ Time Frame: Will be assessed 30 days after all subjects complete chemotherapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Severe (grade 3/4) bone pain by cycle and across cycles (up to and including 4 cycles)

  • Subject reported bone pain [ Time Frame: Will be assessed 30 days after all subjects complete chemotherapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Subject-reported bone pain by cycle and across cycles (up to and including 4 cycles)

  • Maximum Subject Reported bone pain [ Time Frame: Will be assessed 30 days after all subjects complete chemotherapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Maximum subject-reported bone pain by cycle and across cycles (up to and including 4 cycles)

  • Area under the Curve for subject-reported bone pain [ Time Frame: Will be assessed 30 days after all subjects complete chemotherapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    AUC for subject-reported bone pain during by cycle and across all cycles (up to and including 4)

  • Adverse Event and Serious Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Will be assessed 30 days after all subjects complete chemotherapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    AEs and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) related to pegfilgrastim, naproxen, or loratadine

  • Severity of Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Will be assessed 30 days after all subjects complete chemotherapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Severity of AEs related to pegfilgrastim, naproxen, or loratadine


Estimated Enrollment: 600
Study Start Date: November 2012
Estimated Study Completion Date: August 2014
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Prophylactic naproxen Drug: Naproxen
Subjects will receive prophylactic naproxen 500 mg twice a day (BID) taken orally beginning the day of pegfilgrastim administration, and continuing for 5 days in total
Experimental: Prophylactic loratadine Drug: Loratadine
Subject will receive prophylactic loratadine 10 mg once a day (QD) taken orally beginning the day of pegfilgrastim administration, and continuing for 5 days in total
