About

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, Phase II clinical study of AC591 in preventing Oxaliplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Full description

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to explore the effectiveness of AC591 particles in preventing oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy. Patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma who are prepared to receive CAPEOX (capecitabine tablets + oxaliplatin injection) postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy within 3 weeks to 2 months after surgery will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio. The subjects will be stratified based on the chemotherapy cycles they are prepared to receive CAPEOX (4 cycles vs 8 cycles).

Enrollment: 120 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
