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.
This trial tests if adding magnesium supplements to standard first-line treatment (chemotherapy plus immunotherapy) improves outcomes for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It is for patients who have not had prior treatment for metastatic disease.
This trial tests whether taking coenzyme Q10 (a natural substance) can help prevent nerve damage caused by the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin in people with stage III colorectal cancer. If successful, it could reduce pain, numbness, or tingling during treatment.
This early study tests whether replacing magnesium—either by diet or a topical (skin) supplement—can improve safety or other health measures in people with lymphoma. It focuses on people who have a slightly low magnesium level and checks blood magnesium repeatedly during the study.
This trial tests whether two common medications, memantine and rosuvastatin, can protect nerves during colorectal cancer treatment. If you are about to start chemotherapy with FOLFOX or XELOX, this study may help reduce nerve damage.
This trial tests a traditional Chinese herbal medicine called Wenyang Tongbi Formula to treat nerve pain and weakness caused by chemotherapy. If you have breast or colorectal cancer and are experiencing chemotherapy-related nerve damage, this study may help manage your symptoms.
