- 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.

Group Intervention Description Patients with severe neuropathy Blood Collection Patients with severe neuropathy after treatment with paclitaxel. Blood samples and patient questionnaires will be collected. Patients with severe neuropathy Patient Questionnaires Patients with severe neuropathy after treatment with paclitaxel. Blood samples and patient questionnaires will be collected. Patients without neuropathy Blood Collection Patients will be enrolled to this cohort and matched to a specified subject with neurotoxicity based on age (within 10 years), tumor type, chemotherapy regimen or total paclitaxel dosage, race, and ethnicity Patients without neuropathy Patient Questionnaires Patients will be enrolled to this cohort and matched to a specified subject with neurotoxicity based on age (within 10 years), tumor type, chemotherapy regimen or total paclitaxel dosage, race, and ethnicity
