New study tracks nerve pain from breast cancer drug
NCT ID NCT05889988
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 36 people with HER2-positive breast cancer who are receiving the drug T-DM1. Researchers want to learn how often and how severely the drug causes nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy), such as numbness, tingling, or pain. Participants will report their symptoms through questionnaires over time. The goal is to better understand this side effect, not to test a new treatment.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Patients planning to receive three or more doses of Ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer or for earlier-stage breast cancer. Patients must have previously used neurotoxic antineoplastic agents (excluding previous use of T-DM1), have pre-existing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), or have peripheral neuropathy secondary to other causes. Patients must also plan to continue clinical follow-up at the same institution where they enter the study.

Inclusion Criteria: * Planning to receive three or more doses T-DM1 for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (any line) or for earlier-stage breast cancer. The patient may have received one dose of T-DM1, prior to study entry if it has not been longer than 14 days since that dose and that the patient will be able to complete the required baseline questionnaire within 14 days of their first dose of T-DM1. * Patients with previous use of neurotoxic antineoplastic agents (excluding previous use of T-DM1), pre-existing CIPN, or peripheral neuropathy secondary to other causes will be able to be enrolled in the study. * The patient plans to continue clinical follow-up at the same institution, where the patient entered the study. * Provide informed consent. * Ability to complete questionnaire(s) in English by themselves or with assistance. Exclusion Criteria: * Previous use of T-DM1 * Concomitant use of other neurotoxic anticancer agents including cisplatin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin, docetaxel, paclitaxel, vincristine, eribulin, vinorelbine, thalidomide, lenalidomide, bortezomib, or epothilones. If the patient used any of these previously, then they must have been stopped for at least 7 days prior to study entry. * Current use of commonly used drugs for the treatment of peripheral neuropathy, including duloxetine, gabapentinoids (pregabalin and gabapentin), venlafaxine, nortriptyline, or amitriptyline (including use of these medications for things other than neuropathy). If the patient used any of these previously, then they must have been stopped for at least 7 days prior to study entry.
