Brief Summary

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

The study aims to investigate the safety and tolerability of limb cryocompression in preventing of Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy via a newly developed limb cryocompression device in healthy subjects and cancer patients. The limb cryocompression device will be tested for its safety in delivering limb cryocompression and efficacy in improving the preservation of peripheral nerves during chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

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

The study consists of two parts. The first part of the study will consist of up to 18 healthy subjects to assess safety and tolerability of the new limb cryocompression device. The occurrence or lack of core hypothermia will be studied. The second part of the study will consist of 15 cancer patients recruited from the National University Hospital. Patients will undergo cryocompression over multiple cycles of chemotherapy to establish safety and tolerability of repeated therapy. Cryocompression of the limbs will be administered using cooling wraps attached to a cooling device. The limbs will be cooled from the digits to the elbow/knee.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

Healthy subjects will undergo cryocompression of the various temperature and pressure levels in the cryocompression device. One temperature will be tested on 3 subjects for 3 hours. Tolerability of the temperature will be determined through a visual analogue pain scale (VAS). Should 1 out of 3 subjects display intolerance to the temperature level, 3 more healthy subjects will be tested to ensure consistency.

Cancer patient limb cryocompression sessions will comprise of a pre-cooling period, continued with paclitaxel infusion and a post-cooling period. Overall, hypothermia will be administered for no longer than four hours.

Each patient will undergo maximum limb cooling. The initial device settings for the first cycle for each patient will be based on the optimal temperature determined to be safe and tolerable in healthy subjects. Safety and tolerance of the concomitant cryocompression will be measured using VAS.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Healthy subjects

To assess safety and tolerability of limb cryocompression, as well as to determine the optimal temperature and pressure to be used. The occurrence or lack of core hypothermia will be studied.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Paxman Cryocompression System (PCCS)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Establishing optimal temperature and pressure for limb cryocompression therapy. Healthy subjects will undergo 3 hours of limb cryocompression.

The cryocompression device used in this study consists of a control unit, and limb wraps. The control unit contains the coolant reservoir and pump to circulate the coolant and air for compression. It is able to thermoregulate (control the temperature of the circulating coolant) and offer cyclic air pressure in the wraps. The wraps cover the limbs from the elbow/knee to the fingers/toes.

Cancer patients

Once the optimal temperature and pressure of limb cryocompression is established in healthy subjects, a group of cancer patients will undergo limb cryocompression over multiple cycles of chemotherapy to establish safety and tolerability of repeated therapy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Paxman Cryocompression System (PCCS)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The study population will comprise of cancer patients scheduled to receive weekly paclitaxel chemotherapy for a maximum of 12 cycles.

Paclitaxel will be administered as a one-hour infusion. Limb cryocompression sessions comprised of a pre-cooling period (up to one hour), continued with paclitaxel infusion and a post-cooling period (on average 30 minutes after the end of paclitaxel infusion). Overall, limb cryocompression will be administered for no longer than four hours.
