NCT06733545

Brief Summary

It is proposed a controlled research study aimed to evaluating and comparing the degree of skin satisfaction and comfort with cosmetic creams PB-011 and PB-012 in cancer patients who can develop a palmar and plantar peripheral polyneuropathy by treatment with chemotherapy. Both products are cosmetic creams derived from the cosmetic Nocisens® line (for the care of sensitive skin with atopic tendency). The hypothesis that is proposed to test is that the care with PB-011 or PB-012 of the sensitive skin associated with palmar and plantar peripheral polyneuropathy of cancer patients will increase their degree of satisfaction and skin comfort. This study is proposed in patients who are going to start chemotherapeutic treatment. The study conceives two populations: (i) population where PB-011 cream will be tested; and (ii) population that will test PB-012 cream. A sample size of 60 volunteers per population has been estimated to ensure statistical significance. As a qualitative relevant variable for patients, the degree of satisfaction and skin comfort of the volunteers will be assessed by means of questionnaires.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Sensory discomfort appearance in hands and/or feet as a measure of quality of life

    The appearance of sensory sensations resulting from CIPN will be detected by the oncologists' follow-up. The oncologists will indicate the treatment cycle in which the neuropathy discomfort appears and their degree in the data collection notebook. The study involves following the patient from the first cycle of chemotherapy until one month after the end of treatment.

    The estimated period of time over which the event is assessed is up to16 weeks, which correspond from the first CT cycle (cycles are received once a week, 12 CT cycles) up to one month later.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Skin Discomfort Severity

    Questionnaire was done every three weeks until one month after treatment was finished.

Study Arms (2)

PB-011

Patients starting chemotherapy treatment are given (double blinded) moisturizing cream PB-011 to use once a day in hands. If sensory discomfort appears in hands or feet, the dosage could be increased up to twice a day in hands and feet.

PB-012

Patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment are given (double blinded) moisturizing cream PB-012 to use once a day in hands. If sensory discomfort appears in hands or feet, the dosage could be increased up to twice a day in hands and feet.

  • Pre-existing peripheral neuropathies not related to chemotherapy treatment
  • Pre-existing neurodegenerative or neuromuscular disease or history of stroke
  • Family history of neuropathic diseases
  • Having suffered in the last 6 months: myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, transient ischemic attack, decompensated heart failure requiring hospitalization or class III/IV heart failure.
  • Being receiving investigational treatment (being involved in a clinical trial
  • Evidence or indication of metastasis affecting the Central Nervous System
  • Use of immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory medication that may lead to immunodeficiencies
