  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • 18 years of age or older.
  • Pathologically confirmed cancer receiving capecitabine-based anti-cancer therapy (capecitabine with or without other anti-cancer drugs).
  • With HFS determined by "CTCAE v5.0 - PPE" as grade 2 or above.

  • ECOG performance score < 2.

Who cannot join

  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness as determined by the investigator including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, recent myocardial infarction, uncontrolled hypotension or hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness and social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Significantly abnormal lab test:
  • Inadequate hematologic function as indicated by:
  • Absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) < 1,500 /mm^3
Show all 15Show fewer
  • Hemoglobin (Hgb) < 8.5 g/dL
  • Platelet count < 75,000 /mm^3

About this study

Official title: A Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Acetylated Natural Nucleotides in Treating Hand-foot Syndrome (HFS)

The clinical trial is planned to investigate the efficacy and safety of acetylated natural nucleotides in treating anti-cancer medications induced hand-foot syndrome (HFS).

Being tested
Gel containing Acetylated Natural Nucleotides, Vehicle Gel
Medical subject headings
Hand-Foot Syndrome

What participants receive

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

  • Gel containing Acetylated Natural NucleotidesDrug

    The study drug is a gel containing acetylated natural nucleotides.

  • Vehicle GelDrug

    The vehicle gel contains no acetylated natural nucleotides but with the same base as study drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients who achieve "NCI CTCAE v5.0 - Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia (PPE)" grade 0 or 1

    The proportion of patients who achieve "NCI CTCAE v5.0 - PPE" grade 0 or 1 at week 6 from grade 2 or above at baseline

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Safety of study drug

    Safety of study drug as determined by number of participants with abnormal laboratory values and/or Adverse Events that are related to treatment

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Proportion of patients who achieve at least one grade improvement in HFS severity

    The proportion of patients who achieve at least one grade improvement in HFS severity according to "NCI CTCAE v5.0 - PPE" by week 6

    Measured: 6 weeks

  3. Change from baseline in patient reported pain using Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    Change from baseline in patient reported pain using VAS at week 6. VAS is a scale used to determine the pain intensity experienced by individuals, which consists of a line 10 cm in length, with the left side signifying no pain and the right side signifying the worst pain ever.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  4. Change from baseline in Hand-Foot Skin Reaction and Quality of Life (HF-QoL) Questionnaire total score

    Change from baseline in HF-QoL Questionnaire total score at week 6. HF-QoL questionnaire is comprised of a 20-item symptom domain and an 18-item daily activity domain. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (always or extremely) during the previous week. The HF-QoL symptom and daily activity total scores are transformed to a scale of 0 to 100, based on the sum of each unit-weighted item score divided by the maximum score. Higher scores on the HF-QoL indicate worse quality of life or greater symptom burden.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  5. The proportion of patients whose anti-cancer medications are impacted due to HFS

    The proportion of patients who need temporary interruption or permanent discontinuation and/or dose reduction of anti-cancer medications due to HFS

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gel containing Acetylated Natural Nucleotides in people with Hand-foot Syndrome, run by Nan xu 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 15 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 1 Mar 2023. 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 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?

Proportion of patients who achieve "NCI CTCAE v5.0 - Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia (PPE)" grade 0 or 1 (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 1 Mar 2023.
