Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this prospective, non-interventional study is to perform neurological and cognitive assessment of breast cancer patients who receive standard of care single agent weekly paclitaxel docetaxel chemotherapy to determine the onset and severity of chemotherapy induced neuropathy (CIPN) and cognitive impairment (CICI).

patients with stage I-III breast cancer

Patients with Stage I-III breast cancer who will receive paclitaxel or docetaxel treatments as part of their standard of care adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy are eligible for this study.

Quantitative measures of reduction in Chemotherapy Induced Neuropathy (CIPN) and Cognitive Impairment (CICI) in patients with stage I-III breast cancer

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Quantitative measures that include additional aspects of peripheral neuropathy, such as pain, thermal allodynia, numbness and tingling are needed. We propose to evaluate several pharmacodynamics biomarkers in patients before and during chemotherapy: changes in nerve conduction velocity and amplitude, quantitative sensory testing (QST), computer based cognitive assessment, and rate of drop-out from treatment. The tests from this list that best correlate with decreased CIPN would be added to EORTC QLQ-CIPN20 scores and will provide an early indication of CIPN and/or CICI.
