NCT ID NCT02610439

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study examines DNA from 575 breast cancer patients who received the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel. Researchers want to find genetic differences that explain why some patients develop nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) while others do not. The goal is to identify biomarkers that could predict risk and help personalize treatment.
