Trial characteristics_2


Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

The percentage of patients who receive a structured parenteral opioid intervention at 24 (18-30) hours after the initiation of the intervention for dyspnea

Key secondary outcomes

The percentage of the utilization of a structured parenteral opioid intervention, achievement of treatment goals, contents of concurrent treatment such as increase and/or switching of opioids and benzodiazepines, dyspnea intensity, communication capacity and consciousness level, adverse events and dose-limiting toxicities, etc.

Number of participants that the trial has enrolled

108

Results

All 108 patients received algorithm-based pharmacological treatment. Among 96 and 87 patients who were alive at 24 and 48 h, respectively, 96 (100%) and 82 (94%) continued to receive the algorithm treatment, respectively, and 66 (69%) and 64 (74%) achieved the treatment goals, respectively. Mean dyspnea NRS scores significantly reduced from 7.3 at the baseline to 4.9 at 24 h (n=72; p<0.001), and 7.2 at the baseline to 4.6 at 48 h (n=55; p<0.001). Most adverse events were mild to moderate.

Baseline Characteristics

The mean age was 72 (standard deviation [SD], 12), 43 (40%) patients had lung cancer, 59 (55%) had lung metastases, and 85 (79%) had an ECOG PS of 4.

Participant flow

A total of 108 patients were enrolled and analyzed.

Adverse events

Most adverse events were mild to moderate (CTCAE=1 and 2), including nausea and delirium.

Outcome measures

The primary outcome was the proportion of adherence to the treatment algorithm over 24 h (predefined goal, 70%). We evaluated the adherence, goal achievement, and dyspnea level with a numerical rating scale (NRS), as well as adverse events over 48 h.
