Brief Title: Preventing Taxane-related Peripheral Neuropathy, Pain and Nail Toxicity: A Prospective Self-controlled Trial Comparing Hilotherapy With Frozen Gloves in Early Breast Cancer
Official Title: Hilotherapy vs Frozen Gloves for Preventing Taxane-related Peripheral Neuropathy, Pain and Nail Toxicity in Breast Cancer
Study ID: NCT04659980
Brief Summary: The prevention of taxane-related toxicities at the extremities is highly important for patients' treatment and quality-of-life. Unlike standard cryotherapy with frozen gloves, hilotherapy produces cooling at a constant temperature. Comparative data with frozen gloves are unavailable. This prospective self-controlled study explores the efficacy of hilotherapy at the right hand and foot compared to frozen gloves at the left in patients with early breast cancer treated with weekly paclitaxel 80 mg/m² or three-weekly docetaxel 75 mg/m².
