Filter by:this study will use traditional Chinese medicine bath with no obvious side effects combined with case tracking management mode to form nursing measures to prevent hand foot syndrome. A randomized controlled trial design will be used to collect cases of hand foot syndrome (HFS) that did not appear after chemotherapy in the ward of the Department of chemotherapy, Peking University Third Hospital, and carry out nursing intervention.
The study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) supplementation compared to placebo to prevent HFS by observing changes in serum COX 2, malondialdehyde (MDA), and TNF α levels in breast cancer and colorectal cancer patients undergoing capecitabine chemotherapy. Current study was designed as a single-center prospective randomized clinical trial. The patients were Stage III or Stage IV colorectal and breast cancer patients receiving capecitabine-based chemotherapy who enrolled in the trial voluntarily. All patients were divided randomly into three groups treated with EVOO, olive oil, or placebo. The incidence of hand foot syndrome was documented. The serum COX 2, malondialdehyde (MDA), and TNF α levels before and after chemotherapy was documented.
Chemotherapy or target therapy-induced hand-foot syndrome in cancer patients affects the quality of life. At present, there is no better treatment for this side effect of chemotherapy or target therapy. In severe cases, it is necessary to reduce the dose of chemotherapy or target therapy, which may affect the progress and effect of chemotherapy. In recent years, acupuncture has been widely used for many side effects of chemotherapy, such as numbness of hands and feet, gastrointestinal discomfort, and dizziness. There have been many studies have proved to be effective, but quite few studies explored the acupuncture treatment improves the hand-foot syndrome caused by chemotherapy or target therapy in cancer patients. Therefore, the investigators expect to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture, and applying acupuncture or laser acupuncture to improve hand-foot syndrome caused by chemotherapy or target therapy in cancer patients in the future.
This is a single-centre, phase II, three-arm, randomised controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a cosmetic moisturising cream containing palm-oil-derived vitamin E concentrate or a similar moisturising cream without the vitamin E concentrate in addition to urea-based cream, or urea-based cream alone (1:1:1) in patients who are receiving capecitabine-based cancer therapy and develop capecitabine-associated PPE of NCI-CTCAE grade 1.
The present pilot study investigates the feasibility of a prospective larger confirmatory study on the efficacy of Dr. Hauschka Med Ice Plant Intensive Cream for the prevention of hand-foot syndrome in patients with breast carcinoma undergoing therapy with doxorubicin and / or docetaxel.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of using combination of Urea-based cream (CARBAMIDE®) and topical diclofenac (VOLTAREN®) Emulgel 1% for improving the incidence of Hand-foot syndrome in histologically proven breast cancer Egyptian patients receiving single agent chemotherapy Capecitabine (XELODA ®) and Its effect on improving patients' quality of life.
Hand foot skin reaction (HFS) from capecitabine is one of the most common adverse events from capecitabine. Urea cream has been proved its benefit to prevent HFS from sorafenib. Prior study using urea cream prophylaxis in patients receiving capecitabine was negative. However, result from aformentioned study was reported primarily from result of first cycle capecitabine. Urea cream as a prevention of HFS from capecitabine has been used in clinical practice in Thailand according to expert's opinion. We conducted the study to evaluate wheter the urea cream can prevent HFS or severe HFS.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of malignancy-related mortality. Capecitabine has been approved for the treatment of colorectal cancer as first-line therapy. About 50%-68% of patients who take capecitabine develop Hand-foot syndrome. Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is the most common adverse event of capecitabine-based chemotherapy. Initial symptoms of HFS are dysesthesia, tingling in the palms, fingers, and soles of the feet, and erythema, which may progress to an extremely painful and debilitating condition without prompt management. These symptoms can potentially lead to a worsened quality of life in patients taking capecitabine-based chemotherapy. Moreover, the adverse reaction necessitates dose-reduction or withdrawal of the chemotherapeutic agent. The mechanisms of HFS are still unknown, and there are limited data available on how to prevent them or manage them. However, different hypotheses of capecitabine-induced HFS pathogenesis have been suggested. One of the hypotheses stated that HFS is a kind of inflammation mediated by cyclooxygenase's (COX-2) over expression in palm and feet by capecitabine and its metabolites causing elevation of inflammatory markers as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). COX-2 enzyme plays a main role in inflammation and pain. Therefore, celecoxib which is selective (COX-2) inhibitor may have a key role in the HFS treatment plan. A retrospective study and two prospective studies showed that combining capecitabine with celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, can significantly reduce capecitabine-related HFS in colorectal cancer patients. Those studies were dependent on HFS grading only without measuring any markers. So, in our study we assess possible protective effect of celecoxib against capecitabine induced HFS and measure inflammatory marker as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), oxidative stress marker as Malondialdehyde (MDA), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme to show whether capecitabine induced HFS is caused by COX-2 mediated inflammation or not.
A multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, phase III clinical trial will be conducted to explore the efficacy and safety of mecobalamin in the prevention of 2/3 HFS in patients with early breast cancer. 234 patients will be enrolled and will be randomized into mecobalamin group and placebo group at the ration of 1:1. The incidence of grade 2 / 3 HFS in the experimental group and the control group will be observed. This study is expected to provide evidence for clinical prevention of hand foot syndrome, improve clinical treatment guidelines for early breast cancer, and provide reference for other antitumor drugs for hand foot syndrome.
Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is a side effect of chemotherapy. HFS is characterized by redness, swelling, and pain on the palms of the hands and/or soles of the feet, which can progress to blistering. Hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR) refers to symptoms affecting the hands and/or feet associated with multikinase inhibitors (TKIs). HFS and HFSR are painful complications that can lead to compromised daily activities, sleep-wake disturbance and impaired mobility, eventually decreasing Quality of Life (QoL). Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is a non-invasive therapy based on the application of visible and/or near-infrared light produced by a laser diode or a light-emitting diode. The scientifically proven biologic effects of PBM are improved wound healing, and a reduction in pain, inflammation, and oedema. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of PBMT in the management of HFS and HFSR.
