Can your genes predict chemo nerve pain?
NCT ID NCT02481336
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a person's genes and medical history might help predict nerve damage caused by chemotherapy. Researchers will follow 300 people with certain cancers who are scheduled for specific chemo drugs. The goal is to find patterns that could help prevent or reduce nerve-related side effects in future patients.

Who is studied
Total 300 cancer patients will be enrolled in National Cheng Kung University Hospital from March, 2015 to March, 2017. The subjects are stage I-IV ovarian cancer patients receiving chemotherapy Paclitaxel/Carboplatin, stage II-IV endometrial cancer patients receiving chemotherapy Paclitaxel/Carboplatin, stage III \& high risk stage II colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy with mFOLFOX.
