Glove compression to prevent nerve damage from paclitaxel
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether wearing tight surgical gloves during paclitaxel chemotherapy can prevent nerve damage (neuropathy) in the hands. It's for people with stage II or III breast cancer who are about to start paclitaxel treatment for at least 12 weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 80 years old
- Have stage II or III breast cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body
- Be scheduled to receive paclitaxel chemotherapy (before or after surgery) for at least 12 weeks
- Not have had chemotherapy before that could cause nerve damage (like taxanes, platinum drugs, or certain other agents)
- Be well enough to go about daily activities (ECOG score 0-2)

This trial tests if wearing surgical gloves that compress the hands can prevent nerve damage caused by the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel. If you have a solid tumor and are getting paclitaxel every 3 weeks, this might help reduce numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands.
This trial tests whether wearing a tight surgical glove during chemotherapy can help prevent nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) in the hands. It is for people with breast cancer who are about to start a specific weekly chemo regimen.
This trial tests whether cryotherapy (cooling the hands/feet during chemo) can prevent or lessen nerve pain caused by paclitaxel in people with early breast cancer. It may help you stay more comfortable and function better during treatment.
This study tests whether wearing tight surgical gloves during taxane chemotherapy can help reduce nerve damage in the hands and feet. It may be a good fit if you have breast or urogenital cancer and are starting taxane treatment for the first time.
This trial tests if wearing compressive therapy (like special sleeves or stockings) during weekly paclitaxel chemotherapy can prevent nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) in breast cancer patients. It is for people who have not yet had nerve issues or diabetes.
This study tests whether wearing cold gloves and socks during paclitaxel chemotherapy can prevent or reduce nerve damage in the hands and feet, a common side effect. If you are getting weekly paclitaxel for breast cancer, this might help keep your hands and feet more comfortable.
