Acupuncture for Taxane-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Prevention (ATP): A Phase II Randomized, Placebo Controlled Trial
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Real Acupuncture and Sham Acupuncture for Breast Cancer and Taxane-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 80 participants across 7 sites.
Detailed Summary
Some people experience a side effect while they are receiving taxane called taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN). TIPN is pain in the arms and legs due to nerve damage caused by cancer treatment and may interfere with quality of life. The purpose of this study is to learn if acupuncture can prevent TIPN from getting worse. Acupuncture is a medical technique that involves insertion of very thin needles into specific areas on the body. We will compare real acupuncture (RA) to placebo (sham) acupuncture (SA). SA is done like RA, but will use different needles and target different sites or places on the body than RA. We are comparing RA to SA to learn whether RA can prevent TIPN from getting worse while receiving taxane.
