Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Exercise InterventionUsual Care

Exercise Intervention: A structured home-based exercise program performed during chemotherapy and for up to three months after completion of chemotherapy. The program includes aerobic and strengthening exercises and is designed to be safe and feasible during active cancer treatment. Adherence is monitored through regular telephone follow-up.

Usual Care: Standard oncologic care and general education regarding chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, without a structured exercise program.

Study summary

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common and often persistent adverse effect of oxaliplatin- and paclitaxel-based chemotherapy. While exercise is frequently recommended for patients with CIPN, it remains unclear whether exercise mitigates neuropathic injury itself or primarily improves physical function and quality of life.

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effects of exercise on CIPN during and after chemotherapy. Patients receiving oxaliplatin for colorectal cancer or paclitaxel for gynecologic cancer are randomized to an exercise intervention or usual-care control. Neuropathy severity is assessed using objective neurophysiological measures, blood biomarkers, and validated clinical and patient-reported outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of colorectal cancer (oxaliplatin cohort) or gynecologic cancer (paclitaxel cohort) * Planned initiation of oxaliplatin- or paclitaxel-based chemotherapy * Karnofsky Performance Status ≥70 * Ability to provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Pre-existing peripheral neuropathy from other causes * Severe comorbidities limiting safe participation in exercise * Regular participation in a structured moderate- to high-intensity exercise program comparable to the study intervention prior to enrollment. * Cognitive impairment interfering with study participation

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Change in Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Severity (CTCAE v5.0) — Baseline (prior to initiation of chemotherapy), end of chemotherapy (up to approximately 24 weeks after chemotherapy initiation), and 3 months after completion of chemotherapy.
    Change in chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy severity assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0 sensory neuropathy grade (Grade 0-4, with higher grades indicating more severe neuropathy).
