Brief Title: A Trial of Glutamine to Prevent Oxaliplatin Neurotoxicity and a Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Oxaliplatin
Official Title: A Phase II Trial of Glutamin to Prevent Oxaliplatin Neurotoxicity and a Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Oxaliplatin.
Study ID: NCT01157039
Brief Summary: The investigators hypothesize that glutamine significantly reduces the incidence and severity of peripheral neuropathy in patients receiving oxaliplatin for metastatic colorectal cancer, decreases the need for dose reduction of oxaliplatin, and it does not impair oxaliplatin efficacy or pharmacokinetics.
Detailed Description: This is a phase II , open-label, non randomized study of oral glutamine administration to evaluate oxaliplatin pharmacokinetics, and to prevent oxaliplatin neurotoxicity in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
