About this study

Official title: Protocol Comparing a Nutraceutical Formulation Consisting of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Vitamin D, and Vitamins B6 Plus B12 Versus No Treatment in the Prevention or Reduction of Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) in Patients Treated With Docetaxel as Neoadjuvant/Adjuvant Breast Cancer Therapy

The trial will utilize Nutraceuticals (Vitamin D 2000IU oral once daily, Vitamin B6 100 mg oral once daily, Vitamin B12 100 mcg oral once daily, Omega-3 Fatty Acids 900 mg oral three times a day) in patients treated with Docetacel as Neoadjuvant or Adjuvant Breast cancer Therapy. The trial is being conducted to see if the use of Nutraceuticals will prevent or reduce Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN).

Read the detailed description

Phase 2, Single Centre, Open-label 2 Arm Randomized Trial. The intervention group will receive a daily dose of Vitamin D, Omega-3-fatty acids, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B12. The reference group will have usual care.

Dose of Nutraceuticals: Vitamin D 2000 IU oral once daily, Vitamin B6 100 mg oral once daily, Vitamin B12 100 mcg oral once daily, Omega-3 Fatty Acids 900 mg oral three times a day (600 mg EPA, 300 mg DHA)

Population: Breast Cancer patients undergoing either neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy with docetaxel.

106 participants in total will be needed with accrual being completed in hopefully 1 years' time. Study Investigators will screen the candidates for the study.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Assessment

    To determine if there is a reduction in either severity or incidence of CIPN in patients treated with docetaxel in the female breast cancer population by using a nutraceutical formulation of the investigators design.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Delay in the onset of grade 1 or decrease in the severity of CIPN

    Measured: 12 months after initiation of chemotherapy

  2. Affect of Usage of Nutraceuticals on Response to treatment

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Vitamin D, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 in people with Peripheral Neuropathy in Breast Cancer Patient, run by AHS Cancer Control Alberta at 1 site in Canada.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 5 Jul 2019. 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 Canada. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Retirement of the Principal Investigator). 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?

Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Assessment (time frame: 12 months). 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 5 Jul 2019.
