Randomized, Single-blind Study to Estimate the Effect of Patient Education on Reported Bone Pain in Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy and Pegfilgrastim
The purpose of this study is to determine if patient education can affect patient reported
bone pain in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and pegfilgrastim.
bone pain in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and pegfilgrastim.
In this study, the effect of patient education on reported bone pain in breast cancer
patients receiving adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy and pegfilgrastim will be
investigated.
Each patient will receive adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy with pegfilgrastim
prophylaxis, beginning in the first cycle and continuing throughout the study period. The
study period for this study is the first 4 cycles of chemotherapy. participants can be
planning to receive regimens with > 4 cycles, but data will only be collected for the first
4 cycles. The choice of chemotherapy regimen (agent, dose, and schedule) is at the
discretion of the treating physician. Commercially available pegfilgrastim will be
administered according to US Prescribing Information and is considered background therapy.
