About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blinded, Placebo Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of PerOx Quench or Placebo for 35 Days on the Prevention of Oxaliplatin Treatment Induced Sensory Neuropathy

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a progressive, enduring, and often irreversible condition featuring pain, numbness, tingling and sensitivity to cold in the hands and feet (sometimes progressing to the arms and legs) that afflicts between 30 and 40 percent of patients undergoing chemotherapy.

American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) guidance on The Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO, 2014 April 14) does not recommend any prophylaxis regimen for CIPN.

PerOx Quench has unique membrane protection and anti-oxidative function as a special food, that's why to try to explore its preventive effects on CIPN prevention induced by Oxaliplatin for colorectal cancer or gastric cancer chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

This study uses two stage group-sequential sampling design, based on current data, assumed the CIPN incidence rate is 50% in placebo arm, while 20% in PerOx Quench arm(60% reduction), set a=0.05,80% power, random allocation ratio is 1:1, obtained the subjects number is 41(total 82) by PASS 11 software for superior design; considering 10% drop out rate, final number of subjects totally is 90.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PerOx QuenchDietary supplement

    By 1 week pretreatment of PerOx Quench and following 4 weeks taken to decrease the CIPN incidence.

  • PerOx Quench PlaceboDietary supplement

    By 1 week pretreatment of Placebo and following 4 weeks taken to record the CIPN incidence.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of Oxaliplatin-induced Peripheral Neuropathy incidence rate on the 35 day in 2 arms.

    Peripheral neuropathy incidence rate was measured by frequency and percentage of any Oxaliplatin-induced Peripheral Neuropathy symptoms.

    Measured: 35 day after randomization

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Evaluation of Oxaliplatin-induced Peripheral Neuropathy severity by PI on the 35 day in 2 arms.

    Peripheral neuropathy severity by PI was measured by each related symptom grading, and the most serious symptom will be evaluated by National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) classification.

    Measured: 35 day after randomization

  2. Evaluation of Oxaliplatin-induced Peripheral Neuropathy severity by subjects on the 35 day in 2 arms.

    Peripheral neuropathy severity by subjects was measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score (Scores range from 0 [no symptom] to 10 [worst possible symptom]).

    Measured: 35 day after randomization

  3. Evaluation of subjects quality of life difference in 2 arms on the 35 day.

    Quality of Life (QoL) will be measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life questionaire C30 (EORTCQLQ-C30) questionnaire.

    Measured: 35 day after randomization

  4. Evaluation of subjects Eastern Cooperation Oncology Group-Performance Score (ECOG-PS) difference in 2 arms on the 35 day.

    Eastern Cooperation Oncology Group-Performance Score (ECOG-PS) will be measured by ECOG-PS score.

    Measured: 35 day after randomization

  5. Evaluation of the Adverse Events (AEs) incidence rate on 35 day in 2 arms.

    The Adverse Events (AEs) incidence rate was measured by frequency and percentage of participants with Treatment-Related Grade 3 or above Adverse Events during this trial. The grade of Adverse Events was assessed by Common Toxicity Criteria Adverse Event (CTCAE) v4.0.

    Measured: Sign ICF to 35 day after randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PerOx Quench in people with Colorectal Cancer and Advanced Gastric Cancer, run by SMR Biotech Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Subjects' not-well compliance due to diarrhea and softening stool after taking PerOx Quench 4 sachets a day.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of Oxaliplatin-induced Peripheral Neuropathy incidence rate on the 35 day in 2 arms. (time frame: 35 day after randomization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Dec 2016.
