About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Cilostazol in Prevention of Paclitaxel Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Breast Cancer Patients

There are several mechanisms concerning pathophysiology of paclitaxel induced peripheral neuropathy. One of the main mechanisms is induction of Schwann cell dedifferentiation by paclitaxel. At the preclinical level, cilostazol potently inhibited paclitaxel-induced dedifferentiation of cultured Schwann cells, yet this positive effect have not been clinically investigated.

Being tested
Cilostazol, Placebo
Medical subject headings
Peripheral Nervous System Diseases, Breast Neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of chemotherapy induced-peripheral neuropathy using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) criteria

    Number of patients reported neuropathy from paclitaxel

    Measured: 8 weeks post intervention

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Severity of chemotherapy induced-peripheral neuropathy

    Severity of paclitaxel induced peripheral neuropathy using VAS visual analogue scale.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity(FACT-GOG-NTX) subscale

    Measures quality of life related to signs and symptoms of paclitaxel induced peripheral neuropathy

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Serum nerve growth factor

    measuring serum level of nerve growth factor using ELISA KIT

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Serum malionaldehyde

    measuring serum level of maliomaldehyde using spectrophometric kit

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cilostazol in people with Peripheral Neuropathy and Breast Cancer, run by Mansoura University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 15 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 Egypt. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 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?

Incidence of chemotherapy induced-peripheral neuropathy using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) criteria (time frame: 8 weeks post intervention). 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 15 Mar 2023.
