The AIUR Trial: Surgical Gloves to Prevent Peripheral Neuropathy
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Compression therapy using surgical gloves: Intervention group wear two-layer of normal-sized surgical gloves on both hands during chemotherapy infusion
Study summary
This study aims to demonstrate the preventive effect of compression therapy using surgical gloves in chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are utilized for comparing the change in neuropathic pain between intervention and control groups. Among the PROMs, the neurotoxicity component of the functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-taxane (FACT-Tax) is used for good and poor outcomes between baseline and post-chemotherapy in paclitaxel-treated breast cancer patients.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Changes in the 11 items neurotoxicity component of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Taxane (FACT-NTX) Therapy subscale — Before starting paclitaxel course (baseline), and 1~2 weeks from finishing paclitaxel course chemotherapy (target)
The change in FACT-NTX will be divided into a good outcome (change in FACT-NTX less than five from baseline to target timeframe) versus a poor outcome (change in FACT NTX greater than or equal to five from baseline to target timeframe). The difference in the number of poor outcome participants will compare between the two groups. The FACT-NTX is 5-point Likert-type scale. Each item measures on a 0-4 scale (0, not at all; 4, very much). A greater change in the FACT-NTX score was considered a clinically meaningful increase in CIPN.
