Safety and efficacy data from a study of slow intrathecal (IT) ziconotide titration for the management of severe chronic pain are presented. Patients randomized to ziconotide (n = 112) or placebo (n = 108) started IT infusion at 0.1 mu g/hour (2.4 mu g/day), increasing gradually (0.05-0.1 mu g/hour increments) over 3 weeks. The ziconotide mean dose at termination was 0.29 mu g/hour (6.96 mu g/day). Patients' baseline Visual Analogue Scale of Pain Intensity (VASPI) score was 80.7 (SD 15). Statistical significance was noted for VASPI mean percentage improvement, baseline to Week 3 (ziconotide [14.7%] vs. placebo [7.2%;P = 0.036]) and, many of the secondary efficacy outcomes measures. Significant adverse events (AEs) reported in the ziconotide group were dizziness, confusion, ataxia,, abnormal gait,, toad memory impairment. Discontinuation-rates for AEs and serious AEs were comparable for both groups. Slow titration of ziconotide, a nonopioid analgesic, to a low maximum dose resulted in significant improvement in pain and was better tolerated titan. in, two previous controlled trials that used a faster titration, to a higher mean dose.
