Socks against side effects: simple stockings may shield nerves during chemo
NCT ID NCT07164950
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether wearing a compression stocking on one foot during antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) infusions can prevent peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage causing numbness or pain). Fifty-eight advanced cancer patients will wear a stocking on their left foot only, while the right foot serves as a comparison. Researchers will track nerve symptoms and quality of life over 24 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
medical-grade compression stocking (20-30 mmHg)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to prevent nerve damage from certain cancer treatments, improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (58 people) with a self-controlled design, so results may not apply broadly. The benefit may be modest or not statistically significant.
