Overview

This study aims to find out whether certain molecules in the blood, called microRNAs, are linked to how often and how severely people develop nerve damage from chemotherapy. The investigators will look at patients receiving cancer drugs known to affect the nerves, such as paclitaxel (used for lung cancer) and oxaliplatin (used for colorectal cancer).

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient treated for colorectal cancer and scheduled to receive oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy for at least 6 cycles, or
  • Patient treated for lung cancer and scheduled to receive paclitaxel-based chemotherapy for at least 4 cycles.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Neurodegenerative disease (e.g., Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, etc.),
  • History of stroke,
  • Pre-existing neuropathy (QLQ-CIPN20 sensory score ≥ 15/100),
  • Pain (NRS ≥ 4/10),
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women,
  • Patients under guardianship, curatorship, deprived of liberty, or under legal protection

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
