Brief Summary

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

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common clinical dose-limiting adverse drug reaction, and the primary manifestations are different degree of neuromotor, sensorineural and autonomic nervous dysfunction.

Detailed Description

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

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and parallel clinical trial is to observe the efficacy and safety of the Acetyl-L-Carnitine Hydrochloride enteric-coated tablets in treatment of peripheral sensory neuropathy that anti-cancer chemotherapeutics induce.
