2 Pancreatic Cancer: Palliative Care Abdominal / epigastric pain (ESMO, 2012) Nausea and vomiting in advanced cancer (MASCC / ESMO, 2016) Anorexia & cachexia syndrome Malnutrition (ESPEN, 2016) Depression (ESMO, 2018) and anxiety Biliary tract obstruction: endoscopic stent placement Ascites Venous thromboembolism (ESMO, 2011) Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer ASCO guideline 2016, 2018

3 Patient-centered pain treatment Routine screening for pain (ESAS) Remove the cause of pain: Treat the treatable Celiac Plexus Neurolysis; palliative CT / RT Releive pain Physical & non-physical PharmacoTx & non-pharmacological interventions Multidisciplinary approach & team work Personalized definition of success Dalal S, Hui D, Nguyen L, et al:. Cancer 2012; 118: Hui D, Bruera E. J Clin Oncol 2014; 32: Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer ASCO guideline 2016, 2018

4 ESMO Gudelines OPIOID ± NSAIDs Paracetamol 1-3 OPIOID ± NSAIDs Paracetamol Paracetamol NSAIDs Co-analgesics (NeP, bone pain, visceral pain) Medications to prevent & treat adverse effects

5 The Usefulness of Weak Opioids Codeine (or tramadol) compared with low dose morphine (Mo: 5 mg, Q4h) for moderate pain (4-6/10) Morphine: Significantly higher clinically meaningful ( 30%) and highly meaningful ( 50%) pain relief Earlier onset of analgesic effect and less need for rotation Comparable good tolerability Bandieri E, et al. Journal of Clinical Oncology :5,

6 Strong opioids Oral first-line opioids: morphine, oxycodone, hydromorphone TD alternatives to oral opioids (Fen, Bu) Methadone: an alternative strong opioid with non-opioid mechanism of action Tapentadol: opioid & non-opioid (SNRI) Caraceni A, et al. EAPC guidelines. Lancet Oncol 2012; 13: e58 68 Ripamonti CI. ESMO guidelines: cancer pain. Ann Oncol 2012; 23 (Suppl 7): vii39-vii154. Corli O, et al. Annals Oncol 2016; 27:11 Meracadante S, Bruera E. JPSM 2018;55:

7 Opioids: routes of administration The least invasive route is preferred: Oral (IR, MR) or transdermal (stable pain) Parenteral: SC, IV Transmucosal: SL, buccal, nasal, rectal Intraspinal delivery Morphine mouthwash (oral mucositis) Intramuscular: NOT recommended Caraceni A, et al. EAPC guidelines. Lancet Oncol 2012; 13: e58 68 Ripamonti CI. ESMO guidelines: cancer pain. Ann Oncol 2012; 23 (Suppl 7): vii39-vii15

8 Opioids: individual dose titration The starting dose of an opioid: Driven by safety, not by the intensity of pain Equivalent to mg of PO morphine / 24h (opioid-naive patients, with no renal comorbities) Dose titration: gradual escalation of the starting dose, until pain is relieved or unmanageable adverse effects occur The minimal clinically meaningful increase: 30-50% /total 24 h dose Caraceni A, et al. EAPC guidelines. Lancet Oncol 2012; 13: e58 68 Ripamonti CI. ESMO guidelines: cancer pain. Ann Oncol 2012; 23 (Suppl 7): vii39-vii15

9 Opioid dosing Chronic, persistent pain: Regular by the clock analgesia w/ short-acting (IR) or long acting (MR) oral formulations Rescue doses ( as needed ): for pain that is uncontrolled w/ regular regimen Preventive dosing: for incident BTP Caraceni A, et al. EAPC guidelines. Lancet Oncol 2012; 13: e58 68 Ripamonti CI. ESMO guidelines: cancer pain. Ann Oncol 2012; 23 (Suppl 7): vii39-vii15

10 Regular Dosing First-line oral opioids Morphine, Oxycodone, Hydromorphone, Dose once every half life PO 4 hr for IR formulations Steady state after 5 half-lives Continue Tx with MR formulations (Q8h; Q12h; Q24h) for better compliance EPEC-O curriculum

11 Rescue doses Use the same opioid (methadone and TD fentanyl may be exceptions) Use only IR formulations (PO, SC, IV) Offer 10% (5-20%) of the regular opioid dose / 24h Repeat at every Time to Cmax 1 h for IR oral opioids EPEC-O curriculum

12 Breakthrough (episodic) pain Predictable (incident) Timing a painful activity after regular or preventive dose (1 2h after an oral opioid) Unpredictable (spontaneous): Rapid onset/ fast offset of analgesia is needed IR formulations of oral opioids Transmucosal fentanyl formulations Morphine i.v as an alternative if available Caraceni A, et al. EAPC guidelines. Lancet Oncol 2012; 13: e58 68 Ripamonti CI. ESMO guidelines: cancer pain. Ann Oncol 2012; 23 (Suppl 7): vii39-vii15

13 Opioids: individual tailoring Favorable balance btw analgesia and AEs Renal failure (GFR < 30 ml/min): fentanyl, buprenorphine, methadone Liver failure (morphine, hydromorphone) Alcohol / drug abuse: methadone, buprenorphine Coexisting symptoms: nausea, vomiting, bowel obstruction, constipation, dyspnea Methadone superior to TD fentanyl for cancer pain with neuropathic component Caraceni A, et al. EAPC guidelines. Lancet Oncol 2012; 13: e58 68 Ripamonti CI. ESMO guidelines: cancer pain. Ann Oncol 2012; 23 (Suppl 7): vii39-vii15 Haumann J et al. Eur J Cancer 2016

14 Prevent: Opioids: adverse effects Individual tailoring / dose titration Laxatives, antiemetics New formulations (oxycodone + naloxon) Treat: Reduce the dose, if the pain is stable Medications for Tx of adverse effects Switching to another opioid / administration route Cherny N, et al. J Clin Oncol 2001;19: S. Mercadante, E. Bruera. Critical Reviews in Oncology / Hematology 99 (2016)

15 Pancreatic cancer: neuropathic pain Celiac Plexus Block & CP Neurolysis Analgesics (opioids:? methadone) Coanalgesics Corticosteroids (for decompression) Analgesic atidepressants & anticonvulsants Ripamonti CI. ESMO guidelines: cancer pain. Ann Oncol 2012; 23 (Suppl 7): vii39-vii15 NeuPSIG IASP guidelines 2016

16 Adjuvant analgesics for neuropathic pain Analgesic anticonvulsants : Pregabalin Gabapentin Analgesic antidepressants The tricyclics (nortriptyline) SNRIs (duloxetine) Adjuvant analgesics for CIPN: Duloxetine

17 Total Pain Concept Saunders S. BMJ 1996;313:1599/1601
