Efficacy of Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside in the Prophylactic Treatment of Bortezomib-induced Peripheral Neuropathy
- Registration Number
- NCT02093910
- Lead Sponsor
- Sun Yat-sen University
- Brief Summary
Bortezomib was an important drug in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM),and peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a significant dose-limiting toxicity of bortezomib that typically occurs within the first courses of bortezomib, reaches a plateau at cycle 5. Up to now, no effective prophylaxis have been developed for PN. Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside, a nerve-protecting drug,was often used to promote growth of nerve, and function restoration of damaged nerve.Thus,the investigators hypothesized that combination of Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside and bortezomib can reduce the incidence rate of peripheral neuropathy (PN) and promote the relief of peripheral neuropathy (PN) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients.

Group Intervention Description Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside each patient in this arm received velcade+dexamethasone (VD) regimen（bortezomib,1.3mg/㎡，subcutaneously injection，d1,8,15,22；dexamethasone,20mg d1-2, 8-9,15-16,22-23）every 4 weeks; and monosialotetrahexosylganglioside was used at the dosage of 100mg/d intravenously at d1-2,8-9,15-16,22-23 every cycle.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method overall incidence rate of peripheral neuropathy (PN) up to 6 months the grade of peripheral neuropathy (PN) was recorded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method complete rate (CR) rate up to 6 months The criteria for CR was according to International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria
duration of peripheral neuropathy (PN) up to 1 year (about 6 months after the completion of treatment) the duration of peripheral neuropathy means the time from the onset time of peripheral neuropathy (PN) to the relief time of PN
