New treatment option for Peripheral Neuropathy Due to Chemotherapy
Official title Nerve Excitability in Cisplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07095998
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study aims to evaluate nerve excitability in participants with cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (cis-PN) using threshold tracking nerve conduction studies (TTNCS). By assessing changes in nerve excitability parameters, the study seeks to enhance understanding of the pathophysiology of cis-PN and identify early markers of neurotoxicity in participants undergoing cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

- Other medical conditions that in the opinion of the treating physician would make the protocol unreasonably hazardous for the patient;
- Patients not considered to be able to comply with the protocol. Inclusion Criteria Cohort B:
- Adults age ≥ 18 with a diagnosis of cis-PN.
- The last dose of cisplatin must be ≥ 3 months prior to study enrollment. Patients who may have been previously enrolled in Cohort A of this study are eligible to participate in Cohort B if they continue to have cis-PN...
