Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age ≥18 years
  • Diagnosis of a non-myeloid hematologic malignancy scheduled to initiate a cycle of chemotherapy that requires prophylactic use of a granulocyte colony-stimulating growth factor (based on the provider's discretion), provided the schedule of chemotherapy cycles allows the use of pegfilgrastim at a dose of 6 mg SC once per cycle OR Diagnosis of breast cancer scheduled to initiate dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC) chemotherapy or docetaxel and cyclophosphamide (TC) chemotherapy that requires prophylactic use of a granulocyte colony-stimulating growth factor, provided the schedule of chemotherapy cycles allows the use of pegfilgrastim, at a dose of 6 mg SC once per cycle; pegfilgrastim scheduled for 24 hours post chemotherapy.
  • Schedule of chemotherapy and pegfilgrastim initiation can accommodate initiation of pregabalin 4 days prior to pegfilgrastim dose.
  • Baseline pain scores \<7 as measured via 10-point numerical scale for pain (see section 11.1); pain score and use of any non-opioid pain medication must be self-reported as stable (same dose and frequency) over the 7 days prior to screening; for opioids, patient must self-report the same dose and frequency over the 28 days prior to screening. Patients who are receiving peri-procedural short-acting analgesics will still be included as long as they are no longer receiving analgesics by D1 of chemotherapy.

Exclusion

  • A history of (within one month) or current pregabalin use.
  • Baseline pain scores ≥7 as measured via 10-point numerical scale for pain (see section 11.1).
  • Unwilling to discontinue use of antihistamines from 7 days prior to D1 of study medication.
  • Creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≤60 ml/min (as measured via Cockcroft-Gault) based on serum creatinine measured as part of standard of care prior to administration of chemotherapy
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to initiating therapy (note, this test should be standard of care prior to administration of chemotherapy).
  • Patient is unable or unwilling to abide by the study protocol or cooperate fully with the investigator.
  • Eligible and agrees to enroll into therapeutic trial ongoing at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) (i.e., the treatment trial will take precedence over LCCC1314).
  • Currently receiving therapeutic doses of anticoagulants (ie, prophylactic use of anticoagulants is allowed) due to possibility of dizziness and falls while on pregabalin.
  • Currently receiving aromatase inhibitors or agents targeted against Ph+ leukemias (i.e., imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, and ponatinib) or scheduled to start these drugs during cycle 1 of scheduled chemotherapy.
  • Presence of bone metastases.
  • History of angioedema.
  • History of a seizure disorder.
