Comparing Cooling and/or Compression Approaches of Limbs for Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Exploring limb cooling/compression to prevent nerve issues from chemotherapy.

Phase 3

This study looks at different ways to prevent peripheral neuropathy, a nerve disorder causing numbness or pain in arms and legs, from chemotherapy drugs like paclitaxel or docetaxel. The study uses a device called the Paxman Limb Cryocompression System, which involves cooling or squeezing the arms and legs. There are three groups: 1) cryocompression (cooling and squeezing), 2) continuous compression (steady squeezing), and 3) low cyclic compression (squeezing that comes and goes). Each group uses the device for about 90 minutes during chemotherapy sessions.

Key Points:

  • The study lasts up to 52 weeks with different checkpoints (6, 12, 24, and 52 weeks) to see how the approaches work over time.
  • Participants must be adults with certain solid tumor cancers, and they must not have had previous nerve-related chemotherapy or certain conditions like Raynaud's.
  • Participants need to complete surveys and may have blood samples collected during the study.

This study aims to find the best method to prevent nerve problems from chemotherapy and to understand how these methods impact quality of life and treatment success. Participants will be monitored for any side effects and overall satisfaction with the treatment.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
