Randomized Study Versus Placebo for the Prevention of Neurotoxicity Induced by Weekly PACLITAXEL

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Other: Placebo
Drug: OnLife®
Registration Number
NCT05695313
Lead Sponsor
Centre Georges Francois Leclerc
Brief Summary

This study recommends the use of OnLife dietary supplement, which will be followed by a few day before the initiation of PACLITAXEL, for the prevention of PACLITAXEL induced neuropathy. OnLife will be continued one month after stopping chemotherapy.

This would limit the number of PACLITAXEL dose reductions and premature interruptions of this chemotherapy, thus potentially improving the results in terms of antitumor efficacy, while improving the quality of life of patients treated with weekly PACLITAXEL.

Detailed Description

This study recommends the use of OnLife dietary supplement which will be followed by a few day before the initiation of PACLITAXEL for the prevention of PACLITAXEL induced neuropathy. OnLife will be continued one month after stopping chemotherapy. This would limit the number of PACLITAXEL dose reductions and premature interruptions of this cehemotherapy, thus potentially improving the results in terms of antitumor efficacy while improving the quality of life of patients treated with weekly PACLITAXEL.

Two treatment arms :

- ARM A : 20 patients included in the placebo arm (Standard chemotherapy with PACLITAXEL + placebo dietary supplement) ARM B : 40 patients included in the experimental arm (standard PACLITAXEL chemotherapy + OnLife® food supplement)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Neuropathies will be graded by the oncologist using the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0.At 3 months

Neuropathies will be graded by the oncologist using the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0. during the consultation with the oncologist at 3 months.

The AE graded from 1 to 5. Grade 1 is a better and grade 5 is a worst outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to onset of grade ≥ 2 neuropathy.During 1 year

Assess time to onset of grade ≥ 2 neuropathy by Kaplan-Meyer method The AE graded from 2 to 5. Grade 2 is a better and grade 5 is a worst outcome.

Evaluation of Neuropathic pain symptom inventory (NPSI) scoresAt 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 6 months and 12 months

Evaluation of Neuropathic pain symptom inventory scores by the questionnaire. The minimum value is 0 (no pain) and the maximum value is 10 (maximum pain)

Number of participants with musculoskeletal and joint painAt 12 weeks, 16 weeks 6 months and 12 months.

Musculoskeletal and joint pain will be defined and graded according to the CTCAE v5.0 classification

The number and rate of women with at least one dose reduction due to peripheral neuropathy.During 1 year

By NCI-CTCAE V5.0

All peripheral neuropathies graded by the oncologist according to CTCAE V5.0Every 4 weeks for one year

Assess the rate of grade ≥ 2 peripheral neuropathy by NCI-CTCAE V5.0 The AE graded from 2 to 5. Grade 2 is a better and grade 5 is a worst outcome.

Number of toxicities attributable to OnLife® dietary supplementEvery 4 weeks for one year

Assess toxicities attributable to OnLife® dietary supplement by NCI-CTCAE V5.0

Name of all concomitant treatments administered for neuropathyAt 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 6 months and 12 months.

By recording data in the eCRF for both arms

Evaluation of Overall Neuropathy Limitations Scale (ONLS) scoresAt 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 6 months and 12 months

Evaluation of ONLS scores by the questionnaires. The minimum value is 0 (better outcome) and the maximum value is 5 (worse outcome)

The number and rate of women with at least one discontinuation of PACLITAXEL due to peripheral neuropathy.During 1 year

By NCI-CTCAE V5.0

Compliance with the Onlife®/Placebo dietary supplement16 weeks

Compliance with the Onlife®/Placebo dietary supplement will be assessed by the Morisky questionnaire

Quality of life of participantsAt baseline and then every 4 weeks for 4 months and then at 6 and 12 months.

Quality of life will be assessed by the EORTC QLQ C30 self-questionnaires and its associated module Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN 20).

The minimum value is 1 (no way) and the maximum value is 4 (a lot)
