Can compression or ice gloves and socks reduce neuropathy from UTD1 in advanced breast cancer

Official title: Reducing Peripheral Sensory and Motor Neuropathy Induced by UTD1 With Compression/Ice Gloves/Socks, a Multi-center Prospective Phase III Trial (YBCSG-20-02).

Run by Fudan University · NCT07638774 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This randomized phase III trial tests whether compression gloves/socks or ice gloves/socks can reduce nerve problems in women with advanced breast cancer undergoing UTD1 treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Women aged 18-75 with confirmed unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer planned to receive a UTD1-based regimen and with mild baseline neuropathy (CTCAE ≤1).

Probably not a fit

Patients with pre-existing higher-grade neuropathy, poor organ function, or contraindications to gloves/ice interventions may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial enrolling 324 women with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who will receive a UTD1-based regimen. Participants are assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to a blank control, compression glove/sock, or ice glove/sock group to see if the interventions help prevent or lessen peripheral sensory and motor neuropathy. The study uses standard CTCAE criteria to assess neuropathy and safety endpoints over the course of treatment. No liver metastasis or organ dysfunction is required beyond baseline health criteria. The trial is led by Fudan University and conducted at the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center in Shanghai, China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience less nerve toxicity from UTD1, potentially allowing better treatment adherence and quality of life.

How similar studies have gone: Historical data on protective cooling or compression for chemotherapy-induced neuropathy have shown mixed results; this study investigates a similar approach specifically for UTD1-related neuropathy.
