About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Cryotherapy Combined With Compression Therapy in Preventing Albumin-paclitaxel Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Breast Cancer Patients

This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized study designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of cryotherapy combined with compression therapy in preventing albumin-paclitaxel induced peripheral neuropathy.

Read the detailed description

All HER-2 negative breast cancer patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with four cycles of dose-dense epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (ddEC) followed by four cycles of dose-dense albumin-paclitaxel (ddT). The patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive cryotherapy combined with compression or no intervention. The primary endpoint was incidence of grade 3 and higher peripheral neuropathy as assessed by NCI-CTCAE V5.0.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of grade 3 and higher peripheral neuropathy as assessed by NCI-CTCAE V5.0

    Incidence of grade 3 and higher peripheral neuropathy as assessed by NCI-CTCAE V5.0

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Incidence of grade 2 and higher peripheral neuropathy as assessed by NCI-CTCAE V5.0

    Incidence of grade 2 and higher peripheral neuropathy as assessed by NCI-CTCAE V5.0

    Measured: 4 years

  2. Proportion of patients reporting level D and above based on the Patient Neurotoxicity Questionnaire (PNQ)

    PNQ scale ranges from scores A to E; with scoring of A being not affected neuropathy, and E with the worst neuropathy.

    Measured: 4 years

  3. EORTC QLQ-CIPN20

    The EORTC QLQ-CIPN20 is a fairly new 20-item questionnaire evaluating various aspects of CIPN. It has three subscales assessing sensory (nine items), motor (eight items), and autonomic (three items) symptoms and functioning with each item measured on an ordinal 1-4 scale (1, not at all; 4, very much).

    Measured: 4 years

  4. Incidence and severity of other adverse events as assessed by NCI-CTCAE V5.0

    Incidence and severity of other adverse events as assessed by NCI-CTCAE V5.0

    Measured: 4 years

  5. Total pathological complete response (tpCR) rate

    Total pathological complete response (tpCR) was defined as the absence of invasive lesions in the breast and axillary lymph nodes (ypT0/is ypN0). The tpCR rate is the percentage of participants with tpCR.

    Measured: Within 2 to 4 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant therapy

  6. Breast pathological complete response (bpCR) rate

    Breast pathological complete response (bpCR) was defined as no invasive carcinoma in the breast (ypT0/is). The bpCR rate is the percentage of participants with bpCR.

    Measured: Within 2 to 4 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant therapy

  7. Objective response rate (ORR)

    The number of participants who achieved complete response and partial response at the end of neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a percentage of the overall evaluable participants.

    Measured: After the last dose to before surgery or within 28 days

  8. Invasive disease-free survival (IDFS)

    Invasive disease free survival was defined as the time from enrollment until the date of first occurrence of one of the following events: invasive ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence, local/regional invasive recurrence, distant recurrence (including first metastasis), invasive contralateral breast cancer, second primary invasive cancer (nonbreast, not including squamous or basal cell skin cancers, or new in situ carcinomas of any site), or death from any cause.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Frozen glove and sock and ddEC-ddT in people with Breast Cancer, run by Peking University 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 13 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jun 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 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. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zhaoqing Fan, MD (+86-10-88197838, zhqfan@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of grade 3 and higher peripheral neuropathy as assessed by NCI-CTCAE V5.0 (time frame: 4 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 13 Jun 2022.
