Ziconotide • Synthetic selective N-type Calcium Channel blocker • Problem: Poor pain control in cancer patients despite high dose opioid and adjuvant medications • Objective: Demonstrate that single shot intrathecal trials of ziconotide effectively reduce cancer related pain
Study Design • Retrospective chart review • Three year time period (2009-2012) • Single shot bolus trials of ziconotide • Both mono- and combination trials • Pre-trial and 24 hr post-procedure numeric pain scores • Successful trial: > 30% numeric pain score reduction • Etiology of pain was tumor or cancer related treatments
Demographic Data • 40 individual patients • 44 independent trials Tumor Related 27 Treatment Related 14 Other 3

Conclusions • Single shot intrathecalziconotide produces robust analgesia in cancer pain patients • The average dose of ziconotide for successful trials was approximately 2.5 mcg • Bupivacaine did not appear to produce an additive or synergistic effect for ziconotide • Ziconotide successfully produced analgesia in patients with metastatic cancer pain, chronic post-surgical pain, and CIPN.
