Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Capecitabine is a common anti cancer drug. One of the most common side effects is a syndrome called hand and foot syndrome which comprises of hands and feet redness, swelling, dryness and painful sores. Quite often the drug dose is reduced to suboptimal level due to this side effect. There is no way to prevent or an effective way to treat this side effect. The investigators aim is to investigate whether wearing socks which contain copper fibers may prevent or alleviate the patient symptoms.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Capecitabine is a common anti cancer drug. One of the most common side effects is a syndrome called hand and foot syndrome which comprises of hands and feet redness, swelling, dryness and painful sores. Quite often the drug dose is reduced to suboptimal level due to this side effect. There is no way to prevent or an effective way to treat this side effect. Our aim is to investigate whether wearing socks which contain copper fibers may prevent or alleviate the patient symptoms.

The patients will use socks containing copper-oxide impregnated fibers which are sold in the Pharma stores without physician's prescription.(EPA numbers 8454-2, 8454-3 from April 30 2009).

Drug Toxicity and skin reaction will be documented.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

socks containing copper-oxide fibers

Intervention Type DEVICE

The patients will use a sock which contains copper fibers. The socks are sold in the free market (different Pharma stores) for various purposes such as prevention of diabetic foot. It is a product of Cupron company EPA :84542-2, 84542-3 from April 30 2009.
