Enrollment is only available to patients enrolled on the Optima II study (NCT03107182).
Primary objective: To compare rates of opioid requirement as a function of supportive care in patients experiencing CTCAE grade ≥2 oral mucositis at completion of radiation or chemoradiation as part of OPTIMA II
Secondary objectives: To compare total opioid equivalent dose above baseline opioid requirement at end of radiation, quality of life metrics, swallowing function, feeding-tube dependence, and protocol compliance in patients managed with best supportive care with or without prophylactic gabapentin. To investigate rates of gabapentin-related toxicity and discontinuation for patients treated on protocol.
