Symptoms Associated with Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
An observational study of Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy and Breast Cancer, run by Izmir Bakircay University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial summary
Breast cancer remains the most frequent type of cancer globally. Nevertheless, the increased rate of disease-free survival of breast cancer brought the specific need of managing of short and long-term side effects of multimodal treatment. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A View of Perceived Symptoms Associated with Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients with Breast Cancer
Breast cancer remains the most frequent type of cancer globally. Nevertheless, the increased rate of disease-free survival of breast cancer brought the specific need of managing of short and long-term side effects of multimodal treatment. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most debilitating conditions which is characterized by a wide variety of experienceable symptoms by patients that need to be addressed in detail. Therefore, in this cross-sectional study, it was aimed to assess the potential symptoms associated with CIPN of patients with breast cancer who underwent systemic chemotherapy. In addition, it was aimed to assess the potential associations between experienced symptoms of CIPN and sociodemographic (age, body mass index etc.) and clinical features (mean exposed dose, type of surgery (if any) etc.).
Read the detailed description
Patients with breast cancer who underwent systemic chemotherapy were assessed with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (EORTC-CIPN20) questionnaire within 1-2 months after completion of systemic chemotherapy. A simple data form was implemented in which patients' age, weight, height, marital status, smoking status, etc were investigated. In addition, the dose of the exposure of systemic chemotherapy was calculated according to the Body Surface Area (BSA) and DuBois formulation as follows: BSA [m2] = Weight [kg]0.425 × height (cm)0.725 × 0.007184]. The universal dose calculations were used to calculate the mean exposure according to the following doses for each patient-specific to their chemotherapy regimen: Four cycles of Anthracycline were applied 14 days apart 60 mg/m2 intravenous (IV), 12 cycles of Paclitaxel were applied seven days apart 80 mg/m2 IV, and four cycles of Docetaxel were applied 21 days apart 75 mg/m2 IV.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Assessment of perceived Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy symptoms
European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (EORTC-CIPN20) questionnaire was used to assess symtomps associated with CIPN. Higher scores indicate worse, or vice versa. Minimum and maximum score are 0 and 100, respectively. The questionnaire is calculated in three different sub-domains as follows: Autonomic, sensory and motor.
Measured: From completion of systemic chemotherapy up to two months

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Breast cancer remains the most frequent type of cancer globally. Nevertheless, the increased rate of disease-free survival of breast cancer brought the specific need of managing of short and long-term side effects of multimodal treatment. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most debilitating conditions which is characterized by a wide variety of experienceable symptoms by patients that need to be addressed in detail. Therefore, in this cross-sectional study, it was aimed to assess the potential symptoms associated with CIPN of patients with breast cancer who underwent systemic chemotherapy. In addition, it was aimed to assess the potential associations between experienced symptoms of CIPN and sociodemographic (age, body mass index etc.) and clinical features (mean exposed dose, type of surgery (if any) etc.).
Detailed description
Patients with breast cancer who underwent systemic chemotherapy were assessed with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (EORTC-CIPN20) questionnaire within 1-2 months after completion of systemic chemotherapy. A simple data form was implemented in which patients' age, weight, height, marital status, smoking status, etc were investigated.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy and Breast Cancer, run by Izmir Bakircay University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
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 4 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2025. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Assessment of perceived Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy symptoms (time frame: From completion of systemic chemotherapy up to two months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06352567, which also lists 5 linked publications.
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 19 Feb 2025.
