Trial summary

Due to well-proven survival benefit, paclitaxel and other taxane-based chemotherapies are first-line agents for both the adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatment of early stage breast cancer. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a frequent and disabling side effect of taxane anticancer agents. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Cryotherapy on Objective and Subjective Symptoms of Taxane-Induced Neuropathy in Patients With Early Breast Cancer: A National, Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial

Due to well-proven survival benefit, paclitaxel and other taxane-based chemotherapies are first-line agents for both the adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatment of early stage breast cancer. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a frequent and disabling side effect of taxane anticancer agents. No established strategy exists for CIPN prevention. This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of cryotherapy for the prevention of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with breast cancer in a prospective randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Due to well-proven survival benefit, paclitaxel and other taxane-based chemotherapies are first-line agents for both the adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatment of early stage breast cancer. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a frequent and disabling side effect of taxane anticancer agents. No established strategy exists for CIPN prevention. This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of cryotherapy for the prevention of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with breast cancer in a prospective randomized controlled trial.

OBJECTIVES:

Primary objective: To assess the efficacy of cryotherapy to prevent paclitaxel chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) Secondary objective: To search for risk factors for CIPN. METHOD Study Design: A national, multicenter, interventional, randomized, non-blinded clinical trial evaluating the preventive effects of cryotherapy for CIPN.

Eligibility: Key inclusion criteria; Patients with early breast cancer scheduled to receive weekly paclitaxel (80mg/m2 for one hour) 9 doses, PS 0-1.

Sample size: 300 Randomization: Participants will be randomized 1:1 to A: use of Elasto-Gel™ frozen glove and sock on their hands and feet during paclitaxel treatment or B: standard treatment. Randomization will be performed in REDCap using the Electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs).

Cryotherapy Intervention: Patients in the experimental arm will wear glycerine-containing Elasto-Gel™ gloves and socks (Elasto-Gel™ mitts for hands: TM7008, and slippers for feet: SL3000; Southwest Technologies, Inc., North Kansas City, MO, USA) over a disposable glove and sock liner secured by Velcro at the wrist and ankle on their hands and feet from 15 minutes before paclitaxel administration to 15 minutes after the infusion is complete (90 minutes in total).

Primary outcomes: Incidence of peripheral neuropathy; CIPN is assessed using the Total Neuropathy Score reduced version (TNSr) 21 days after last completed cycle of paclitaxel and compared to baseline.

Key secondary outcomes: Objective symptoms - Quantitative sensory testing (QST).

Subjective symptoms - Patient Reported Outcome: (EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 and EORTC (QLQ)-CIPN20), pain and tolerability etc.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Elasto-Gel™ mitts for hands: TM7008, and slippers for feet: SL3000; Southwest Technologies, Inc., North Kansas City, MO, USA in people with CIPN - Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy and Breast Cancer, run by Maria Lendorf 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2023. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Maria E Lendorf, MD, PhD (+4526270898, maria.elisabeth.lendorf.02@regionh.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of peripheral neuropathy (time frame: CIPN is assessed 21 days after last completed cycle of paclitaxel and compared to baseline.). 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 3 Jul 2023.
