Ice Compress: Randomized Trial of Limb Cryocompression Versus Continuous Compression Versus Low Cyclic Compression for the Prevention of Taxane-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
SWOG Cancer Research Network
Summary
This phase III trial compares the effect of 3 study approaches in preventing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy: 1) cryocompression, 2) continuous compression, and 3) low cyclic compression. Taxane chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel or docetaxel, can cause a nerve disorder called peripheral neuropathy, which can cause numbness, tingling, or pain in the arms and legs. The 3 study approaches will use a device, called the Paxman Limb Cryocompression System, made of wraps that cool and/or compress the arms and legs. This study may help researchers determine if any of the study approaches are able to prevent taxane chemotherapy from causing peripheral neuropathy.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To compare the proportion of participants who develop clinically meaningful chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) at 12 weeks, in participants treated with taxane-based chemotherapy randomized to cryocompression therapy versus continuous compression therapy versus low cyclic compression therapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare trajectories over time (6, 12, 24, and 52 weeks) by intervention study arm in clinically meaningful CIPN. II. To compare mean European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy 2…
