fluorouracil and Sensation Disorders

fluorouracil has been researched along with Sensation Disorders in 7 studies

Fluorouracil: A pyrimidine analog that is an antineoplastic antimetabolite. It interferes with DNA synthesis by blocking the THYMIDYLATE SYNTHETASE conversion of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid.
5-fluorouracil : A nucleobase analogue that is uracil in which the hydrogen at position 5 is replaced by fluorine. It is an antineoplastic agent which acts as an antimetabolite - following conversion to the active deoxynucleotide, it inhibits DNA synthesis (by blocking the conversion of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid by the cellular enzyme thymidylate synthetase) and so slows tumour growth.

Sensation Disorders: Disorders of the special senses (i.e., VISION; HEARING; TASTE; and SMELL) or somatosensory system (i.e., afferent components of the PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM).

Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

Area Under the Curve (AUC) of European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire of Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy (EORTC QLQ-CIPN20) Motor Neuropathy Subscale Scores

The oxaliplatin-induced motor neuropathy as repeatedly measured by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire of Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (EORTC QLQ-CIPN20) motor neuropathy subscale during the chemotherapy. This is a multivariate repeated measurement of CIPN with possibly variable cycles for every patient. The CIPN motor neuropathy subscale will be calculated by standard scoring algorithm and converted to 0-100 scale, where higher scores represent a higher quality of life. Rather than choosing the CIPN20 motor neuropathy subscale at a fixed cycle of chemotherapy, we will adopt a summary measure, area under the curve (AUC) of CIPN20 motor neuropathy subscale as the endpoint. This AUC will be prorated by the number of chemotherapy cycles patients received. (NCT01099449)
Timeframe: Up to 18 Months

Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire of Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy (EORTC QLQ-CIPN20) Autonomic Neuropathy Subscale Scores

The oxaliplatin-induced autonomic neuropathy as repeatedly measured by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire of Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (EORTC QLQ-CIPN20) autonomic subscale during the chemotherapy. This is a multivariate repeated measurement of CIPN with possibly variable cycles for every patient. The CIPN autonomic subscale will be calculated by standard scoring algorithm and converted to 0-100 scale, where higher scores represent a higher quality of life. Rather than choosing the CIPN20 autonomic subscale at a fixed cycle of chemotherapy, we will adopt a summary measure, area under the curve (AUC) of CIPN20 autonomic subscale as the endpoint. This AUC will be prorated by the number of chemotherapy cycles patients received. (NCT01099449)
Timeframe: Up to 18 months

Cumulative Oxaliplatin Doses That Can be Administered Without Dose-limiting Chronic Neurotoxicity

A patient has a dose-limiting chronic neurotoxicity when they discontinue oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy because of neurotoxicity. (NCT01099449)
Timeframe: Up to 18 months

Incidence of Calcium Gluconate and Magnesium Sulfate-induced Adverse Events as Measured by CTCAE Version 4.0

(NCT01099449)
Timeframe: Up to 18 months

Percentage of Patients Discontinuing Oxaliplatin-based Chemotherapy Because of Neurotoxicity

(NCT01099449)
Timeframe: Up to 18 months

Sensory Area Under the Curve(AUC) Score. Oxaliplatin-induced Sensory Neuropathy as Repeatedly Measured by the EORTC QLQ-CIPN20 Sensory Subscale During Chemotherapy

The oxaliplatin-induced sensory neuropathy as repeatedly measured by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire of Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (EORTC QLQ-CIPN20) sensory subscale during the chemotherapy. This is a multivariate repeated measurement of CIPN with possibly variable cycles for every patient. The CIPN sensory subscale will be calculated by standard scoring algorithm and converted to 0-100 scale, where higher scores represent a higher quality of life. Rather than choosing the CIPN20 sensory subscale at a fixed cycle of chemotherapy, we will adopt a summary measure, area under the curve (AUC) of CIPN20 sensory subscale as the primary endpoint. This AUC will be prorated by the number of chemotherapy cycles patients received. (NCT01099449)
Timeframe: Up to 18 months

Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Patient-reported Quality of Life (QOL) as Measured by the Supplemental QOL Questionnaire

This is a multivariate repeated measurement of CIPN with possibly variable cycles for every patient. The supplemental quality of life (QOL) subscale will be calculated by standard scoring algorithm and converted to 0-100 scale, where higher scores represent a higher quality of life. Rather than choosing the subscale at a fixed cycle of chemotherapy, we will adopt a summary measure, area under the curve (AUC) . This AUC will be prorated by the number of chemotherapy cycles patients received. (NCT01099449)
Timeframe: Up to 18 months

Percentage of Patients Experiencing Grade 2+ and Grade 3+ Chronic Cumulative Neurotoxicity.

Grades are determined by the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE version 4.0) and oxaliplatin-specific neurotoxicity scale, during and after chemotherapy. Higher grades symbolize greater severity of the adverse event. (NCT01099449)
Timeframe: Up to 18 months

Percentage of Patients With Acute Neuropathy Associated With Oxaliplatin

This is the percent of patients who scored >=50 in all sequences of all cycles by arm for side effect Q1: Sensitivity to touching cold. This is a> repeated measurement of CIPN with possibly variable cycles for every patient. The CIPN subscale will be calculated by standard scoring algorithm and converted to 0-100 scale. Where 0 is no sensitivity and 100 is as bad as it can be. (NCT01099449)
Timeframe: Up to 18 months

Time to Onset of Grade 2+ and Grade 3+ Chronic Cumulative Neurotoxicity and the Duration of the Chronic Cumulative Neurotoxicity During and After Chemotherapy

Time to onset of grade 2+ and grade 3+ chronic cumulative neurotoxicity, the duration of the chronic cumulative neurotoxicity during and after the adjuvant oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Grades are determined by the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE version 4.0) and oxaliplatin-specific neurotoxicity scale, during and after chemotherapy. Higher grades symbolize greater severity of the adverse event. (NCT01099449)
Timeframe: Up to 18 months

Median Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

Time in months from the start of study treatment to the date of first progression (PD) according to the RECIST criteria, or death due to any cause. PER RECIST, a PD is indicated when there is at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters from target lesions relative to the smallest sum recorded since treatment is initiated. Median PFS was estimated using a Kaplan-Meier curve, and is the time at which 50% of patients remain alive without disease progression. (NCT00447330)
Timeframe: 5 years from study start date

Median Survival

Time in months from the start of study treatment to date of death due to any cause. Median survival was estimated using a Kaplan-Meier curve and is the time point at which 50% of patients remain alive. (NCT00447330)
Timeframe: 5 years after study start date

Response Rate

The proportion of patients for whom the best overall response is complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). A CR occurs when all lesions disappear; whereas, a PR is indicated when there is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters (LD) of the target lesion. A PD (progressive disese) occurs when there is at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD relative to the smallest sum LD recorded since treatment is initiated. Disease is considered stable if there is no response and no PD. All patients were assigned a best response for inclusion in this calculation in accordance with the protocol. (NCT00447330)
Timeframe: Every 9 weeks for up to 1 year
