Summary

This study's primary objective is to test the hypothesis that a single infusion of subcutaneous lidocaine can cause a clinically useful reduction in cancer pain within 48 hours of infusion and lasting a minimum of 7 days. A clinically useful reduction in pain is defined by either a 2-point reduction (on a 0-10 scale) in the worst pain experienced over a 24-hour period, or a ≥30% reduction in 24-hour opioid requirement. We will use a composite endpoint of reduction in pain without increase in 24-hr opioid requirement or no decrease in pain with a ≥30% reduction in 24-hour opioid requirement.Subjects will receive either lidocaine or placebo, followed at least 1 week later by the alternate agent.
