Active clinical trials for "Neurotoxicity Syndromes"

In this study, we compared the results of the intelligence and behavioral test performed after surgery between the group using sevoflurane and the group receiving dexmedetomidine and remifentanil, in Korean children under 2 years of age who underwent surgery under general anesthesia.

To study the risk prediction of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) by the clinical bioinformatics and genomic profile.

The compound ACTH4-10Pro8-Gly9-Pro10 is a synthetic analog molecule of an adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) short fragment. That is free from hormonal effects and has neuromodulatory effects. We investigate the neuroprotective effects of ACTH4-10Pro8-Gly9-Pro10 can lessen neurotoxicity against ketamine in neonatal rats by looking at BDNF expression in the cortex and hippocampus tissue as well as BDNF blood levels.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside sodium injection can relieve the neurotoxicity caused by oxaliplatin in GI cancer.

Primary Objective: To assess the benefit of glutamine when added to calcium-magnesium on the occurrence of grade 2, 3 and 4 peripheral sensory neuropathy (PSN) related to oxaliplatin with the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (NCI-CTCAE) scale taking into account the time from start of oxaliplatin at which the first event occurred. Secondary Objective: To determine cumulative dose of oxaliplatin and time when the first occurrence of grade 2, 3 or 4 PSN. To determine the incidence of dose-reductions, dose-delays and discontinuations of oxaliplatin due to PSN grade 3 or 4. To assess effects of glutamine when added to calcium-magnesium on patients-reported outcomes using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity 12 items questionnaire (FACT/GOG NTX-12) subscale. To evaluate the incidence of diarrhea. To determine Progression Free Survival (PFS) in metastatic patients.

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methotrexate, vincristine sulfate, procarbazine hydrochloride, and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill cancer cells. It is not yet know whether rituximab and combination chemotherapy are more effective when given with or without radiation therapy in treating patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving rituximab and combination chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy works in treating patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cisplatin given together with paclitaxel in treating patients with stage IIB, stage IIC, stage III, or stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving them in different ways may kill more tumor cells.

Oxaliplatin is a major antitumor agent but its use is limited by potentially disabling neurotoxicity, characterized by a sensitive defect in the extremities.Mangafodipir is a MRI contrast agent with antioxidant properties. Our previous laboratory works showed that mangafodipir is able to prevent hematologic toxicity of several chemotherapy agents, including oxaliplatin and to increase their antitumor activity. Preliminary clinical data suggested that mangafodipir could prevent oxaliplatin neurotoxicity.The primary purpose of the present study is to assess the protective effect of mangafodipir in patients who have a already moderate oxaliplatin neuropathy and in whom the continuation of this treatment is desirable because of significant antitumor effect.

A phase IV, multicentre, randomised, open-label, pilot clinical trial designed to evaluate HIV-infected, aviremic patients who receive treatment with the combination of DTG/3TC/ABC and who have neuropsychiatric adverse effects that, in the opinion of the investigators, may be related to taking DTG/3TC/ABC, if they improve after switching antiretroviral therapy to the combination of ELV/COBI/FTC/TAF.

Taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN) caused by paclitaxel is a dose-limiting toxicity. The main symptoms of discomfort are numbness, tingling, and burning sensations in the glove-sock-like distribution of the limbs. At present, there are few effective methods for clinical treatment of TIPN, and there is no widely agreed consensus on effective treatment in the world. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance and practical value to carry out clinical research to explore drugs to relieve TIPN.
