Filter by:The study will be conducted in adult patients with Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) that has been persistent for at least 3 months following completion of chemotherapy. A total of 60 patients will be enrolled in equal numbers of a placebo group and two different SON-080 dose groups. Treatment period will be 12 weeks long and patients will be followed-up for an additional 12 weeks.
This is an observational study to discover risk factors of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in 350 patients with early stage breast cancer undergoing taxane-based chemotherapy at two main sites (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) Hospital, including Rex Hospital, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Hospital). The primary purpose of this study to explore patient- and procedure-based variables that identify patients at risk for developing CIPN during chemotherapy.
This randomized, controlled trial is designed to evaluate the effect of acupuncture on Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN), other symptoms, and potential opioid and concomitant medication sparing effects in comparison to standard of care management in Multiple Myeloma subjects.
Assess the efficacy of short-term nicotine transdermal patch administration for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in cancer stable patients or patients in remission.
This pilot study will include up to 25 patients with cancer experiencing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Patients enrolled in the study will participate in a 10-week QiGong for Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy program. Patients will be evaluated before and after their program participation. Within 2 weeks before the program start date, patients will be administered an objective neuropathy assessment by a physician or nurse, and will complete questionnaires assessing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, perceived cognitive functioning, quality of life, and cancer-related symptoms. Patients will repeat these assessments at the end of the last QiGong class and will be asked to provide feedback on the QiGong program as a whole. Self-report questionnaires will also be repeated one week after the last class. Total duration of subject participation will be 11-13 weeks. Total duration of the study is expected to be approximately 9 months.
This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility to conduct a study of acupuncture treatment (AT) for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) at Huntsman Cancer Institute and to investigate changes in physiological biomarkers when using acupuncture to treat CIPN.
This study is to evaluate PledOx for prevention of chronic chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy induced by oxaliplatin in patients with Stage III or high-risk Stage II colorectal cancer (CRC).
Cancer patients often require administration of multiple supportive care pharmacotherapies while receiving chemotherapy regardless the type of cancer. Supportive care therapies are commonly prescribed to nearly all cancer patients and could include antiemetics (ondansetron), pain management (opiates), GI protection (PPIs), antidepressants (select SSRIs), anticoagulation (warfarin) and antifungal prophylaxis (voriconazole). These are all are associated with known pharmacogenetic interactions, which in some cases render the drugs ineffective or toxic. This could result in negative impacts on quality of life in patients who are already undergoing complicated and costly anticancer regimens. Pharmacogenetic-guided therapy based on an individual patient's genetic profile could potentially target symptoms for which an individual is uniquely susceptible, guiding use of medications that are most likely to be effective, thereby reducing unnecessary physical complications and financial strain. It is hypothesized that patients in the genotype intervention arm will report lower scores for overall symptom distress as compared to patients in the delayed genotype intervention arm following initiation of chemotherapy.
Taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN) affects a significant number of women undergoing breast cancer treatment. Some patients may need to shorten their course of treatment, and do not receive the full benefit of chemotherapy as a result. Rodent studies have shown that the cannabinoids may significantly improve hyperalgesia and allodynia induced by paclitaxel. The goal of this study is to investigate the cannabinoids THC and CBD for TIPN.
This study evaluates the investigational drug PledOx in the prevention of chronic chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) induced by the drug oxaliplatin.
