Preventing nerve pain from oxaliplatin chemotherapy
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new drug, AC591, to see if it can prevent the nerve damage and pain that often comes with oxaliplatin chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. If you are about to start this type of chemo after surgery, this study might help reduce side effects.
