Assessment of Paclitaxel-Induced Neuropathy

Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Cancer
Ovarian Cancer
Interventions
Other: Blood Collection
Other: Patient Questionnaires
Registration Number
NCT01953159
Lead Sponsor
University of Chicago
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to collect clinical data, blood samples, and self reported symptoms from patients that experience unusually severe neuropathy after treatment with paclitaxel. This data will be used to develop predictive markers for neuropathy. Blood samples will be used to create induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and eventually artificial nerve cells to be used to study neuropathy in the lab.
