Brief Summary

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

The investigators aim to determine the effect of cryotherapy wraps plus compression therapy (henceforth referred to as cryocompression) versus cryotherapy wraps alone on the incidence and degree of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with gynecologic cancer using a noninferiority design. The investigators also aim to determine the effect of cryocompression versus cryotherapy on patient tolerability and patient and staff satisfaction.

Detailed Description

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

Participants will be randomized by patient to receive cryotherapy wraps plus compression therapy (cryocompression) versus cryotherapy wraps alone applied to the bilateral hands and feet. Participants will receive cryotherapy (+/- compression) for the duration of their taxane infusions. Participants will be asked to complete the FACT-NTX survey and a PNQ neuropathy surveys at each infusion visit to evaluate symptoms related to neuropathy. Participants will also complete a brief acceptability and tolerability survey at each visit. Lastly, a staff satisfaction survey will be administered at each visit as well. The investigators will test the hypothesis that the average final visit FACT-NTX11 scores in the cryotherapy group are noninferior to the cryocompression group with a noninferiority margin of 2.5 points. The investigators will routinely monitor for the following adverse events: frost bite, (unexpected) hospitalizations, and death.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Gynecologic cancer diagnosis (ovarian, cervical, endometrial cancer; adenocarcinomas of likely primary gynecologic origin based on cytology or FNA in conjunction with radiologic impression will be eligible)

* ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status of 0-1

Exclusion Criteria

* Treated with prior neurotoxic chemotherapeutic agents
* Baseline diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy such as diabetic neuropathy, or conditions including but not limited to fibromyalgia, cryoglobulinemia and Raynaud's disease.
