What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This is a prospective randomized trial designed to investigate a new care model for patients who suffer from nerve damage from chemotherapy called chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). All participants in the study will report their CIPN symptoms daily using a website, app or phone for 12 weeks. In one group the data will be collected and participants will be encouraged to reach out to their treating doctors for uncontrolled symptoms. These participants' doctors can prescribe any treatment they feel is appropriate. In the second group, if the symptoms meet the criteria for eligibility they will receive a phone call from a nurse practitioner either the same day or next day, depending on the time symptoms were logged. That nurse practitioner will determine the correct CIPN treatment using an algorithm and prescribe it. The study will track the severity of symptoms over time as

๐Ÿ“‹ Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: In order to be eligible to participate in this study, an individual must meet all of the following criteria: 1. Age โ‰ฅ 18. 2. Completion of taxane, platinum, vinca alkaloid-based chemotherapy, bortezomib, thalidomide, lenalidomide, ixazomib, or brentuximab vedotin for cancer in the last 540 days, or ongoing maintenance therapy with bortezomib, thalidomide, lenalidomide or ixazomib for \> 90 days or ongoing survival, palliative or equivalent therapy with any of the above listed drugs for \>90 days. 3. Development of CIPN during or within 3 months of the most recently completed chemotherapy or previous neurotoxic chemotherapy for the same malignancy. For patients on ongoing maintenance therapy: Development of CIPN during current neurotoxic chemotherapy with bortezomib, thalidomide, lenalidomide, ixazomib brentuximab vendotin or vincristine. CIPN diagnosis will be based on clinical diagnosis and the Toronto Criteria for Probable Distal Symmetric Polyneuropathy including the upper and lower extremities. The Toronto Criteria for Probable Distal Symmetric Polyneuropathy is defined as a combination of symptoms and signs of neuropathy including: 1. At least 1 (one) of the following neuropathic symptoms: "asleep numbness", prickling or stabbing, burning or aching pain AND 2. At least 1 (one) of the following: decreased distal sensation, or unequivocally decreased or absent ankle reflexes. (59) Clinical Diagnosis: a. Confirmation of CIPN diagnosis by CIPN expert (investigator/co-infestigator based on chart review +/- inperson/virtual interview with examination). 4. Presence of at least one positive neuropathic sensory symptom on the NTSS-6 ranked as moderate or severe on the day of screening or in the preceding week based on recall. 5. The ability to speak/ read sufficient English to be able to communicate with study NP over the phone, utilize the App, website and phone tree (all of which are only available in English). Exclusion Criteria: An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: 1. Expected treatment with another neurotoxic chemotherapy within the 13 week overall study duration (For example, platinum, taxane, vinca alkaloid, thalidomide, brentuximab vedotin or related drug, or arsenic trioxide. This exclusion does not apply to continuation of treatment for patients on maintenance therapy as described in the inclusion criteria). 2. Presence of a neurological problem that would confound CIPN assessment (lumbar or cervical radiculopathy, or pre-existing neuropathy from another cause such as diabetes). 3. Currently receiving treatment at a pain clinic specifically for CIPN pain. 4. Concurrent participation in a different CIPN or pain treatment trial. 5. For women of childbearing potential: Current pregnancy 6. For women of childbearing potential: Unwillingness to use and acceptable form of birth control for the duration of the study. Acceptable forms of birth control include long acting implantable contraception (ie IUDs, Nexplanon), Oral contraception pills, contraception injections, or strict abstinence if it is part of the subject's current lifestyle.
