mexiletine has been researched along with Peripheral Nerve Injuries in 3 studies

Mexiletine: Antiarrhythmic agent pharmacologically similar to LIDOCAINE. It may have some anticonvulsant properties.

Trial Outcomes

The Cumulative Dose of Oxaliplatin

The cumulative dose of oxaliplatin received over the course (up to 12 cycles) of mFOLFOX6 treatment regimen. It corresponds to the absolute summed up quantity of Oxaliplatin administered to the patient over time. There is no range for this measure. Since this is a dose-limiting neuropathy prevention study, the higher value can be interpreted as better outcome. (NCT03254394)
Timeframe: 24 weeks

Interventionmg (Mean)
Placebo + FOLFOX1161.8
Lidocaine + FOLFOX1294.8

Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Intensity of Oxaliplatin-induced Cold Pain/Unpleasantness vs Time

"The intensity of cold pain and cold unpleasantness is evaluated separately, assessed daily on a 0-10 scale, upon holding a pre-cooled (~8°C) metal cylinder for 10 seconds. the area under the curve of cold pain and cold unpleasantness vs time is calculated per chemotherapy cycle (every two weeks) and serves as a primary outcome measure.~For intervention (lidocaine+FOLFOX) and control (placebo+FOLFOX) groups, the average of cold pain AUC and cold unpleasantness AUC over 7 cycles was calculated. The average AUCs over 7 cycles were compared between study arms.~The AUC is measured as a score on a 0-10 scale multiplied by 14 days and may range between 0 and 140. Higher AUC values represent more intense cold pain/unpleasantness." (NCT03254394)

Changes in NPSI Score.

Changes in Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) descriptors of neuropathic pain over time from baseline to cycle 3(6 weeks), cycle 6 (12 weeks), and the last follow-up (34-36 weeks). The total NPSI score ranges from 0 to 100; a higher NPSI total score represents a worse neuropathy outcome. The changes in scores from baseline are compared between study arms. (NCT03254394)

CIPN Score on EORTC QLQ-CIPN20

"Change in CIPN (Chemotherapy-induced peripheral Neuropathy) score (on EORTC QLQ-CIPN20 tool ) from baseline to the Cycle 6 (12 weeks), and from baseline to last follow-up (34-36 weeks). EORTC QLQ-CIPN20 ranges from 0 (no symptoms) to 100 (worst symptoms). A higher score represents worse neuropathy. The changes in scores are compared between study arms.~EORTC QLQ-CIPN20 tool is a quality of life questionnaire (QLQ) from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) for evaluation of CIPN."
