Brief Summary
The purpose of this observational, data collection, research is to evaluate if ziconotide, a commercially approved medication given by a FDA cleared intrathecal pump, for chronic pain is effective in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) a common and often long-lasting side effect of cancer treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Assess whether or not patients' pain score from VAS changes when receiving intrathecal ziconotide
One primary objective of this observational study is to obtain data to assess the information collected from the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy after treatment with intrathecal ziconotide, over a 24-month period.
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 24 months
Assess whether or not patients' answers to ODI change when receiving intrathecal ziconotide
One primary objective of this observational study is to obtain data to assess the information collected from the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) in patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy after treatment with intrathecal ziconotide, over a 24-month period.
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 24 months
Assess whether or not patients' answers to PROMIS change when receiving intrathecal ziconotide
One primary objective of this observational study is to obtain data to assess the information collected from the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) in patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy after treatment with intrathecal ziconotide, over a 24-month period.
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 24 months
Study Arms (1)
Study group
This is the only group. All subjects will receive ziconotide via the Medtronic Synchromed intrathecal pump.
Interventions
Real world evidence trial. Patients that are on intrathecal ziconotide will be observed for two years, to determine whether or not this drug is effective for chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy.
Eligibility Criteria
Adult patient, ages 18-100, with chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy that have not responded well to conservative measures
You may qualify if:
- Adult patients, ages 18-100, with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy as a primary source of pain
- The patient is already scheduled to be treated with TDD using ziconotide (no reported allergies to ziconotide or drug-drug interactions expected)
- Patient will have, or is scheduled to have, Medtronic Synchromed Intrathecal Pump implanted by Dr. Beuer (outside of the research)
- Patients already taking nonopioid analgesics will be allowed to continue their prescribed medication regimen.
- Patients currently taking opioid analgesics must undergo a washout period of 2 weeks (prior to device implant) before participating in this study. Those unable to adhere to this washout period will be excluded
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with other forms of neuropathy (diabetic, idiopathic) will be excluded
- Patients with a spinal cord stimulator will be excluded
- Patients with contraindications to intrathecal ziconotide will be excluded
- Patients who cannot sign the consent, participate in research activities, or those who require a legally authorized representative (LAR) will be excluded
- Patients who are pregnant and/or nursing or planning to become pregnant are excluded
- Also excluded are those inaccessible for follow-up, participation is excluded by local law, or a patient is currently enrolled or plans to enroll in a concurrent drug/device study
