ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Phase II Clinical Study of AC591 in Preventing Oxaliplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy," is researching a new medication called AC591. The goal is to see if it can help prevent a type of nerve damage known as peripheral neuropathy, which can occur after treatment with a chemotherapy drug called oxaliplatin. This study is specifically for adults aged 18 to 75 who have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer and are set to start chemotherapy following surgery. Participants must not have previously received oxaliplatin, and they should be in good health overall, as indicated by certain medical tests.

The trial is not currently recruiting participants, but if you qualify and choose to join, you'll be randomly assigned to receive either the study drug or a placebo (which looks like the drug but has no active ingredients). Throughout the study, you'll be monitored closely to see how your body responds to the treatment. It’s important to know that certain medical conditions, such as severe heart or lung diseases, or a history of specific neurological disorders, may prevent you from participating. This study aims to improve the quality of life for patients undergoing cancer treatment, and your involvement could contribute to important findings in cancer care.
