Chemotherapy uses anti-cancer drugs to destroy cancer cells and is a common treatment for many cancers. Taxanes are the most widely used chemotherapy drugs given to breast cancer patients. However, taxanes also have toxic side effects. One of the most severe side effects is damage to nerves in the peripheral nervous system; a neurological disorder known as peripheral neuropathy. Common symptoms of peripheral neuropathy are pain, numbness, and tingling in the hands and feet, which can lead to chemotherapy being prematurely discontinued. Unfortunately, treatment options to manage peripheral neuropathy are limited. Exercise has recently been proposed to reduce symptoms, but consistently exercising during chemotherapy is challenging for patients because of treatment-related side effects and fatigue. A more feasible approach may be to exercise on the day before each infusion. This research includes two linked studies that aim to evaluate whether measuring peripheral nerve function at various timepoints throughout chemotherapy and performing aerobic exercise 24 hours before each infusion is feasible and acceptable to patients. In study 1, the investigators will recruit early stage breast cancer patients, who are scheduled to receive taxanes, from medical oncology outpatient clinics. The investigators will ask consenting participants to make 4 or 5 separate visits to the Hospital at various timepoints throughout chemotherapy, depending on the type of chemotherapy they are prescribed. Each study visit will involve completing some questionnaires as well as tests of peripheral nerve function and functional ability. In phase 2, a new cohort of breast cancer patients undergoing the same chemotherapy regimens will be randomly allocated to an exercise group or a control group. The exercise group will be invited to perform a supervised bout of aerobic exercise (30 min of moderate-intensity on a cycle ergometer) one day before they receive chemotherapy. The findings will lay the foundations for future large-scale research.
This is a repeat-dose, single-arm, open-label study that will evaluate the potential impact of subject-reported injection-site reactions (ISRs) on activities of daily living (ADL) in adult subjects with cancer receiving SUSTOL® (granisetron) extended-release injection, for subcutaneous use for prevention of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) for up to 4 sequential cycles of chemotherapy (Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy [MEC] or Anthracycline and Cyclophosphamide [AC] combination regimen).
primary purpose：Observe the pathological complete response rate (PCR) of postoperative tumor tissue resection and evaluate the safety of the treatment process.
This phase II trial tests whether PEA works to relieve the symptoms of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with cancer. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy refers to a nerve problem that causes pain, numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in different parts of the body, and is caused by chemotherapy. PEA may be useful against bothersome nerve symptoms.
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) in the management of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Therefore, the hypothesis is that PBM can reduce the severity of CIPN in cancer patients, increasing the patient's quality of life.
This study will investigate the ability of virtual reality to function as a novel distraction intervention and improve the experience of patients who are receiving chemotherapy in the infusion clinic.
MyRisk: Efficacy and safety evaluation of oral Akynzeo® in patients receiving MEC at high risk of developing CINV based on a prediction tool. A multinational and multicenter study. Antiemetic guidelines recommendations are based on the emetogenic potential of the chemotherapy. Chemotherapy (CT) agents are divided in Highly, Moderately, Low and Minimally Emetogenic potential. In addition to type of chemotherapy, several patient-related risk factors can increase the risk of CINV (chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting). Currently, there is limited consensus surrounding the most relevant patient risk factors that may predict the risk of CINV. Based on a recent study by Dranitsaris et al. (Dranitsaris et al. Ann Oncol. 2017 Jun 1; 28(6):1260-1267.), eight (8) predictive factors have been identified and an algorithm has been developed to incorporate these factors into the optimal selection of prophylactic antiemetics: 1. nausea and/or vomiting in the prior cycle of chemotherapy 2. use of non-prescribed antiemetics at home in the prior cycle of chemotherapy 3. platinum or anthracycline-based chemotherapy 4. age < 60 years 5. expectations for (anticipating) nausea and/or vomiting 6. <7 h of sleep the night before chemotherapy 7. history of morning sickness during previous pregnancy 8. cycle of chemotherapy (A negative association between risk and number of cycles was identified where the hazard for CINV was highest in cycles 1 and 2, with a gradual decline and plateau from cycle 3 onward). The clinical application of this prediction tool has the potential to be an important resource for clinicians and may help to enhance patient care by optimizing the use of the antiemetics in a proactive manner.
This protocol describes a phase II trial investigating the efficacy of CBD in paclitaxel- and oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy. The trial uses multiple assessments such as validated PRO-questionnaires and multifrequency vibrometry.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a hemp-based cannabidiol (CBD) product, Ananda Hemp Spectrum Gelcaps, on the severity and duration of chemotherapy-induced neuropathy (CIPN) among non-metastatic breast, uterine, pancreatic, and colorectal cancer, and all stages of ovarian cancer in patients who received neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy that included neurotoxic chemotherapeutic agents.
