Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies how well ultrasound works in detecting oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Ultrasound may work better in diagnosing and detecting neuropathy in gastrointestinal cancer patients treated with the chemotherapy drug called a oxaliplatin.
Description
Primary Objectives
I. To compare tibial motor nerve ultrasound cross-sectional area between oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy patients and historical data among healthy adults.
Secondary Objective
I. To compare sural sensory nerve ultrasound cross-sectional area between oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy patients and historical data among healthy adults.
II. To determine if the above changes in nerve cross-sectional area correlate with nerve conduction study changes in the same oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy patients.
III. To determine if the above changes in nerve cross-sectional area correlate with changes on a self-reported neuropathy scale (QLQ-CIPN20) in the same oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy patients.
IV. To determine if the above changes in nerve cross-sectional area correlate with intraepidermal nerve fiber density changes on skin biopsy in the same oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy patients.
Exploratory Objectives I. To assess activated mast cells in skin biopsies in oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy patients in relation to severity of symptoms and above findings.
II. To assess serum inflammatory markers in oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy patients in relation to severity of symptoms and above findings.
III. Exploratory Cohort (Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy, OIPN) Objectives
IV. To compare tibial motor nerve ultrasound cross-sectional area between oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy patients and historical data among healthy adults and OIPN patients
V. To compare sural sensory nerve ultrasound cross-sectional area between oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy patients and historical data among healthy adults and oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy patients
VI. To determine if the above changes in nerve cross-sectional area correlate with nerve conduction study changes in the same oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy patients
VII. To determine if the above changes in nerve cross-sectional area correlate with changes on a self-reported neuropathy scale (QLQ-CIPN20) in the same oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy patients
VIII. To determine if the above changes in nerve cross-sectional area correlate with intraepidermal nerve fiber density changes on skin biopsy in the same oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy patients
