About this study

Official title: Investigation of Peripheral Blood Biomarkers Associated With CIPN

The investigators are doing a research study that will teach us about the tingly pain that people develop when they get chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

The investigators are asking for a blood sample, information about patients symptoms during chemotherapy, and past medical history from people who have taken or will take certain types of chemotherapy. The investigators hope to examine blood for proteins that could help us learn which patients get neurological symptoms while getting chemotherapy. The investigators' main research goal is to improve the treatment of patients getting chemotherapy to help their quality of life and/or help to increase the chance of their cancer being cured.

What is being measured

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

  1. Collection of blood samples, medical history, CIPN symptomology (via questionnaire) and clinical laboratory data for a correlative evaluation of potential CIPN related molecular and cellular variance (biomarkers).

    Variant S1P/S1PR related biomarkers; CIPN Questionnaire for Blood Collection Protocol (non-standardized questionnaire, 0-4 rating scales, 0 = no symptoms, 4 = very severe symptoms, symptoms: neuropathic pain severity/unpleasantness, sharpness, depth, tingling, numbness)

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Neuropathy, Secondary to Drugs or Chemicals, run by St. Louis University.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Collection of blood samples, medical history, CIPN symptomology (via questionnaire) and clinical laboratory data for a correlative evaluation of potential CIPN related molecular and cellular variance (biomarkers). (time frame: 3 years). 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 17 Dec 2020.
