This study recommends the use of OnLife dietary supplement, which will be followed by a few day before the initiation of PACLITAXEL, for the prevention of PACLITAXEL induced neuropathy. OnLife will be continued one month after stopping chemotherapy. This would limit the number of PACLITAXEL dose reductions and premature interruptions of this chemotherapy, thus potentially improving the results in terms of antitumor efficacy, while improving the quality of life of patients treated with weekly PACLITAXEL.
CAR T-cell therapy is a promising innovative therapy for hematological malignancies. Immune effectors cells-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) is a significant complication of CAR therapy. The goal of this study is to understand what brain mechanisms become disrupted when patients experience ICANS. The study will test the hypothesis that cerebrospinal fluid catecholamines and multimodal magnetic resonance imaging are affected in this disorder. To test this hypothesis, the study will measure cerebrospinal fluid catecholamines in ICANS patients and evaluate brain magnetic resonance imaging for these participants. This study may contribute to knowledge about brain biomarkers and imaging of ICANS, which will greatly aid in ICANS detection and prevention.
The current treatments for albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX) -related peripheral neurotoxicity (PN) mainly included cryotherapy and compression therapy , oral B group vitamin , and duloxetine. However, treatment effectiveness of these three methods is limited. Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu decoction (HGWD) is an herbal formula recorded in "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" for improving limb pain, tingling, and numbness, which is composed of five crude drugs (Astragali Radix, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Paeoniae Radix Alba, Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, and Jujubae Fructus)(9). Recently, HGWD has been shown to be effective in the treatment of oxaliplatin- and diabetic-related PNs . But there are no prospective studies to explore the efficacy of HGWD in the treatment of nab-PTX-induced PN in patients with BC. Therefore, we conducted this prospective randomized controlled study to investigate the efficacy and safety of HGWD to prevent nab-PTX-induced PN in patients with BC. The primary aim of this study was to assess the prevention of nab-PTX-induced PN by soaking hands and/or feet with HGWD when compared to placebo.
Changing the schedule of intrathecal chemotherapy to be given before and during blinatumomab will maintain the anti-leukemic effects of this drug while at the same time adding the benefit of limiting the neurotoxicity associated with cytokine release.
The treatment of large-cell B-cell lymphomas refractory to more than 2 lines of therapy has recently been revolutionized by the use of immunotherapies consisting of autologous genetically modified cells or CAR-T CELLS (chimeric antigen receptor-T cells), which very significantly increase progression-free survival and overall survival. Nevertheless, this therapy is frequently associated with cytokine release syndrome and in approximately 20% to 60% of patients with neurological complications that can sometimes be dramatic and are associated with a significant mortality rate. The mechanisms behind this neurotoxicity are unclear. Despite the frequent occurrence of neurological toxicity characterized in particular by headache, tremor, and encephalopathy that is most often transient, brain imaging by CT or, preferably, MRI are most often normal. The rare abnormalities that have been identified suggest the presence of cytotoxic edema associated with the existence of transient modifications of the blood-brain barrier. To date, the management of neurotoxicity associated with CAR-T CELLS remains empirical. It combines early management of cytokine release syndrome (by administration of anti-IL6) and treatment with corticosteroids, the objective of which would be to control neurotoxicity more specifically. A better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with this neurotoxicity appears essential today in order to be able to propose adapted prevention and treatment methods. Main objectives are to compare tissue permeability by quantitative MRI measurement of Ktrans to the theoretical peak of neurotoxicity between patients with CAR-T Cell-induced neurotoxicity and those without neurotoxicity and to Study, by MRI, the evolution of tissue microcirculatory parameters (from D-3 to D7) between groups of patients with or without the occurrence of neurotoxicity associated with CAR-T CELL treatment. For this purpose, 25 subjects will be included (the investigators hypothesize 40% with treatment-induced neurological impairment).
Study the effect of genetic polymorphism (rs1885301, rs4148396 and rs3740066) in the membrane of Multidrug resistance protein 2 (MRP2) encoded by ATP-binding cassette C2 (ABCC2) gene and its genetic expression levels on neurotoxicity in gasrtointestinal cancer patients reciving Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy.
To assess if biomarkers can be used to predict early treatment related neurotoxicity in patients with Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) and to inform development of novel interventions.
This is a randomized open label study in de novo liver transplant recipients that aims to compare the risk of tacrolimus induced tremors with once daily extended-release formulation, Envarsus, versus the twice daily immediate-release formulation. Both formulations of tacrolimus are currently approved for the prevention of rejection in liver transplant patients.
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most frequent side effects caused by antineoplastic agents, with a prevalence from 19% to over 85%. Clinically, CIPN is a mostly sensory neuropathy that may be accompanied by motor and autonomic changes of varying intensity and duration. Due to its high prevalence among cancer patients, CIPN constitutes a major problem for both cancer patients and survivors as well as for their health care providers, especially because, at the moment, there is no single effective method of preventing CIPN; moreover, the possibilities of treating this syndrome are very limited. The phycocyanin (PC), a biliprotein pigment and an important constituent of the blue-green alga Spirulina platensis, has been reported to possess significant antioxidant and radical-scavenging properties, offering protection against oxidative stress. Study hypothesis is that phycocyanin may give protection against oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy in the treatment of gastro intestinal cancers including oesogastric, colo-rectal and pancreatic cancers. This trial will be a randomised placebo-controlled study.
