Taxane-induced Peripheral Neuropathy

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness, tolerability, and safety of using cooling therapy and pressure (cryocompression) to reduce peripheral neuropathy, a condition affecting the nerves supplying the arms and legs (limbs) resulting in possible numbness, pain, and/or loss of motor function, that may occur as a result of taxane-based chemotherapy. The name of the device used in this research study is: -Paxman Limb Cryocompression System (PLCS)

The goal of this prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study with longitudinal blood sampling and standardized neurological evaluation over 6 months is to identify biomarkers to predict the overall occurrence of chronic chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN, any grade), in each of two treatment subgroups (taxanes and oxaliplatin). It involves integration of clinical data and plasma multiomic biomarkers (proteomic + metabolomic panel) analyzed via supervised machine learning to identify predictive features of CIPN.

In this study, the effect of compression therapy of the hands with tight surgical gloves to reduce peripheral neuropathy in adult patients during the application of taxanes will be evaluated.
