About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Cannabidiol for Prevention of Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients Receiving Oxaliplatin or Paclitaxel Based Chemotherapy

This protocol describes a phase II trial investigating the efficacy of CBD in paclitaxel- and oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy. The trial uses multiple assessments such as validated PRO-questionnaires and multifrequency vibrometry.

Read the detailed description

Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is among the most feared side effects to cancer treatment. The development of CIPN can lead to omission or even discontinuation of antineoplastic drugs, possibly affecting efficacy of cancer treatment. There is a lack of knowledge about the natural course of CIPN and to this date, there are no available methods for the early detection of CIPN. With no effective prevention or treatment options, the condition has severe impact on patient quality of life and healthcare expenditure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cannabidiol 100 MG/ML in people with Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy, run by Zealand University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Feb 2022. 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 Denmark. 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?

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?

Difference in Acute Neuropathic Symptoms from baseline and during 1. course chemotherapy. (time frame: up to 5 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Feb 2022.
