MRI dye may shield cancer patients from nerve pain
NCT ID NCT00727922
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether mangafodipir, an MRI contrast agent with antioxidant properties, could reduce nerve damage caused by oxaliplatin chemotherapy. Researchers enrolled 23 cancer patients who already had moderate nerve problems from oxaliplatin but needed to continue treatment. The goal was to see if mangafodipir could ease neuropathy and allow more chemotherapy cycles.
