Fish oil may protect nerves during cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT07403071
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if taking fish oil by mouth can prevent or lessen nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) caused by the chemotherapy drug bortezomib in people with multiple myeloma. Researchers will compare nerve health in 200 patients who take fish oil versus those who don't. The goal is to find a simple, safe way to reduce this painful side effect.
