Trial summary

Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is among the most feared side effects to cancer treatment. The development of CIPN can lead to discontinuation or omission of antineoplastic drugs, possibly affecting efficacy of cancer treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is among the most feared side effects to cancer treatment. The development of CIPN can lead to discontinuation or omission of antineoplastic drugs, possibly affecting efficacy of cancer treatment. There is a lack of knowledge about the natural course of CIPN and to this date, there are no available methods for the early detection of CIPN. With no effective prevention or treatment options, the condition has severe impact on patient quality of life and healthcare expenditure.

This study will investigate the natural course of paclitaxel- and oxaliplatin induced peripheral neuropathy using novel diagnostic techniques. Multi-frequency vibrational technology has provided an objective method for the early detection of diabetic neuropathy. Our study will test the feasibility of this method within the field of clinical oncology and CIPN.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Difference in VPT from baseline to 6 mo.

    For patients receiving paclitaxel: Difference in vibrograms from baseline compared to vibrograms after the end of the 6th course of chemotherapy or the last course of chemotherapy (if before course no. 6).

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year and 6 months

  2. Difference in VPT from Baseline to 4 mo.

    For patients receiving oxaliplatin: Difference in vibrograms from baseline compared to vibrograms after the end of the 4th course of chemotherapy or the last course of chemotherapy (if before course no. 4).

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year and 6 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Difference in PRO from baseline and during 1. course chemotherapy.

    Difference in the NCCTG-CIPN Questionnaire from baseline compared to 4 days after initiation of chemotherapy course no. 1.

    Measured: up to 5 days

  2. Difference in VPT from baseline and during 1. course chemotherapy

    Difference in the Vibrograms from baseline compared to 4 days after initiation of chemotherapy course no. 1.

    Measured: up to 5 days

  3. Difference in PRO from baseline to after chemotherapy course no. 3

    For patients receiving paclitaxel: Difference in EORTC-QLQ-CIPN20 from baseline compared to after chemotherapy course no. 3.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year and 6 months

  4. Difference in PRO from baseline to after chemotherapy course no. 2

    For patients receiving oxaliplatin: Difference in EORTC-QLQ-CIPN20 from baseline compared to after chemotherapy course no. 2. Some patients receiving oxaliplatin will have 6 courses of planned chemotherapy or planned metastatic treatment, in this case comparison will be made after chemotherapy course no. 3.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year and 6 months

  5. Difference in VPT from baseline to af chemotherapy course no. 3

    For patients receiving paclitaxel: Difference in the Vibrograms from baseline compared to after chemotherapy course no. 3.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year and 6 months

  6. Difference in VPT from baseline to af chemotherapy course no. 2

    For patients receiving oxaliplatin: Difference in the Vibrograms from baseline compared to after chemotherapy course no. 2. Some patients receiving oxaliplatin will have 6 courses of planned chemotherapy or planned metastatic treatment, in this case comparison will be made after chemotherapy course no. 3.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year and 6 months

  7. No. of discontinuations

    Number of patients not completing their planned courses of chemotherapy (reasons for discontinuation will be registered).

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year and 6 months

  8. No. of dose reductions

    Number of patients that need reductions of chemotherapy dose (reasons will be registered)

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy, run by Zealand University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference in VPT from baseline to 6 mo. (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year and 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Sep 2020.
