About this study

Official title: Study for the Evaluation of the Degree of Skin Satisfaction of Cosmetics Creams PB-011 and PB-012 for Sensitive Skin in Oncological Patients Affected by a Palmoplantar Polyneuropathy Secondary to Chemotherapy or Chemotherapeutic Agents' Fusion to Monoclonal Antibodies (Immunocitostatics)

It is proposed a controlled research study aimed to evaluating and comparing the degree of skin satisfaction and comfort with cosmetic creams PB-011 and PB-012 in cancer patients who can develop a palmar and plantar peripheral polyneuropathy by treatment with chemotherapy. Both products are cosmetic creams derived from the cosmetic Nocisens® line (for the care of sensitive skin with atopic tendency). The hypothesis that is proposed to test is that the care with PB-011 or PB-012 of the sensitive skin associated with palmar and plantar peripheral polyneuropathy of cancer patients will increase their degree of satisfaction and skin comfort. This study is proposed in patients who are going to start chemotherapeutic treatment. The study conceives two populations: (i) population where PB-011 cream will be tested; and (ii) population that will test PB-012 cream. A sample size of 60 volunteers per population has been estimated to ensure statistical significance. As a qualitative relevant variable for patients, the degree of satisfaction and skin comfort of the volunteers will be assessed by means of questionnaires.

Read the detailed description

This proof-of-concept clinical trial is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled research project approved by the ethics committees of all participating hospitals. Medical oncologists have been responsible for recruiting volunteers, checking that they meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, obtaining signed informed consent, completing the data collection booklet and collecting the occurrence of CIPN and the degree of CIPN, along with patient follow-up. Once informed consent has been signed, the patients are provided with a PB-011 or the PB-012 formulation and started a daily application on their hands. After the onset of sensory symptoms on hands and/or feet, participants applied the cream twice daily on hands and feet and began responding questionnaires to evaluate the severity of sensorial symptoms.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT06733545
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PB-011Patients starting chemotherapy treatment are given (double blinded) moisturizing cream PB-011 to use once a day in hands. If sensory discomfort appears in hands or feet, the dosage could be increased up to twice a day in hands and feet.
PB-012Patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment are given (double blinded) moisturizing cream PB-012 to use once a day in hands. If sensory discomfort appears in hands or feet, the dosage could be increased up to twice a day in hands and feet.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensory discomfort appearance in hands and/or feet as a measure of quality of life

    The appearance of sensory sensations resulting from CIPN will be detected by the oncologists' follow-up. The oncologists will indicate the treatment cycle in which the neuropathy discomfort appears and their degree in the data collection notebook. The study involves following the patient from the first cycle of chemotherapy until one month after the end of treatment.

    Measured: The estimated period of time over which the event is assessed is up to16 weeks, which correspond from the first CT cycle (cycles are received once a week, 12 CT cycles) up to one month later.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Skin Discomfort Severity

    Once recruited volunteers start experiencing sensory skin discomfort in hands/feet and inform their oncologist, a Leonard Scale questionnaire was used to monitor these symptoms (The Leonard Scale1 consists of 14 questions that quantify the subjective intensity of each symptom (e.g. itch, stinging, pain…). Intensity is rated from 1-10, being 1 hardly any and 10 very much).

PMID: 16168057; PMCID: PMC1266024.

    Measured: Questionnaire was done every three weeks until one month after treatment was finished.

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 8 inclusion and 13 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 13 Dec 2024. 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 Spain. 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?

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?

Sensory discomfort appearance in hands and/or feet as a measure of quality of life (time frame: The estimated period of time over which the event is assessed is up to16 weeks, which correspond from the first CT cycle (cycles are received once a week, 12 CT cycles) up to one month later.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06733545, which also lists 16 linked publications.

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 Dec 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
