Evaluating the effects of oxaliplatin on liver and nerve toxicity in cancer patients
Official title: Evaluation, in Humans, of the Correlation Between Hepatotoxicity, Neurotoxicity Induced by Oxaliplatin, and Blood Levels of HMGB1
Run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand · NCT06649474 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing how the cancer drug oxaliplatin affects the liver and nerves in patients with pancreatic and esophageal cancers to help make chemotherapy safer and more effective.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients with resectable adenocarcinomas of the pancreas or esophagus who are able to undergo laparoscopy and are scheduled for oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with metastatic disease or those who have previously received oxaliplatin or systemic chemotherapy within the last five years may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the relationship between hepatotoxicity and neurotoxicity caused by oxaliplatin in patients with resectable pancreatic and esophageal cancers. It aims to assess serum levels of HMGB1 before and after oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy to understand its role in sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), a common complication that can worsen patient outcomes. By identifying the biological processes involved, the study seeks to optimize chemotherapy administration without compromising patient safety. The research is crucial given the rising incidence of these cancers and the need for effective preoperative treatment strategies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management of chemotherapy-related side effects, enhancing patient outcomes in those undergoing treatment for pancreatic and esophageal cancers.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific biological link between oxaliplatin and SOS has not been extensively studied in humans, related murine studies suggest a potential pathway that warrants further investigation.
