Ice plant cream may shield cancer patients from chemo side effect

NCT ID NCT05755646

First seen May 09, 2026

Summary

This small pilot study tested whether an ice plant cream could prevent hand-foot syndrome (pain, redness, peeling on hands and feet) in 15 breast cancer patients receiving doxorubicin or docetaxel chemotherapy. The main goal was to see if a larger study is possible, not to prove the cream works. Results will help design future research.
