Official title

A Pilot, Double-Blind, Randomized, Two-Arm Crossover Study of Doxepin Versus Placebo for Esophagitis-Induced Pain in Patients Receiving Radiotherapy to the Thorax With or Without Chemotherapy

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies the effects of taking doxepin hydrochloride as compared to placebo (inactive drug) in treating esophageal pain in patients with cancer located in the chest area receiving radiation therapy to the thorax with or without chemotherapy. Doxepin hydrochloride is a tricyclic antidepressant drug which was recently shown to be helpful for mouth pain in patients receiving radiation therapy. Doxepin hydrochloride affects the surface of the esophagus, which may be helpful in reducing the pain caused by radiation therapy.
