First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether taking mecobalamin (a form of vitamin B12) can prevent or reduce nerve damage caused by taxane chemotherapy. About 326 adults with various solid tumors will take mecobalamin tablets or receive no preventive treatment during their chemo. The goal is to see if fewer people develop numbness, tingling, or pain in their hands and feet.
