Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as paclitaxel work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Nutritional supplements such as glutamine may prevent side effects caused by chemotherapy

PURPOSE This randomized clinical trial is studying glutamine to see how well it works compared to placebo in preventing myalgia andor arthralgia in patients who are receiving paclitaxel for cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Compare the efficacy of glutamine supplementation vs placebo in terms of prevention of paclitaxel-induced myalgia andor arthralgia in patients with cancer

Secondary

Compare the attenuation of myalgia andor arthralgia in patients who experience myalgia andor arthralgia treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized double-blind crossover pilot study Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Beginning on day 2 of course 1 of paclitaxel administration patients receive oral glutamine three times daily for 4 days
Arm II Beginning on day 2 of course 1 of paclitaxel administration patients receive oral placebo three times daily for 4 days

Both arms crossover during course 2 In both arms treatment continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity

After completion of study treatment patients are followed for 7-10 days

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study
