GM1 to prevent nerve damage from breast cancer chemo
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a drug called GM1 can prevent nerve damage (numbness, tingling, or pain in hands/feet) caused by a common chemotherapy drug used for breast cancer. If you are starting chemotherapy with nab-paclitaxel, this study may help protect your nerves.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a woman aged 18 to 75 with breast cancer.
- You are scheduled to receive a chemotherapy drug called albumin-bound paclitaxel (also called nab-paclitaxel) as part of your treatment.
- You do not already have numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands or feet from nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy).
- You have not had any other cancer besides breast cancer.
- You can keep track of your symptoms and report them through simple questionnaires.
