Brief summary

Taxane neuropathy is a common and long-term side effect of long-term morbidity in patients surviving cancer. No preventive or symptomatic treatment has been shown to be effective. Its pathophysiology is poorly known and probably multifactorial. A possible mechanism would be mediated by the activation of the SK3 calcium channel: a retrospective study carried out at the University Hospital of Tours (Carina RUA) found a significant association between the number of CAG triplets in the KCNN3 gene coding for the SK3 channel and the appearance of a taxane neuropathy.

Detailed description

Patients hospitalized in medical oncology day hospital at the University Hospital of Tours or CHC oncology day hospital, for their chemotherapy with taxanes (paclitaxel or docetaxel) for breast or prostate cancer, will be offered the study. The mode of administration of chemotherapy and the usual follow-up will not be modified by the protocol The determination of the SK3 status will be made from an additional tube collected during a collection as part of the treatment at the first arrival in a day hospital (no more blood tests). Blood sample of 7mL. Shipments and analyzes of samples in Tours in the pharmacogenetics laboratory under the responsibility of Dr. BARIN-LE GUELLEC. This study is non-invasive, without impact on the therapeutic management. The result of the polymorphism of SK3 will not be indicated in the record, so as not to influence the follow-up of the treatment and to allow an evaluation of the occurrence of peripheral neuropathy in blindness of the number of repetitions of the CAG triplet of the KCNN3 gene.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Appearance of a neuropathy secondary to taxanes using Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)From baseline and up to 4 months of follow-upEvaluation of neuropathy will be performed using non-invasive test, gold standard, Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Grading (from best to worst) : 0 = normal 1. = slight paresthesia, mild weakness (subjective) 2. = moderate paresthesia, moderate weakness (objective) 3. = severe paresthesia with functional disability, severe weakness 4. = paralysis
Appearance of a neuropathy secondary to taxanes using Total neuropathy score clinical (TNSc)From baseline and up to 4 months of follow-upEvaluation of neuropathy will be performed using non-invasive test, Total neuropathy score clinical Grading (from best to worst) : Sensory symptoms : 0 = none (N), 1 = symptoms limited finger or toes, 2 = Symptoms extend to ankle or wrist, 3 = Symptoms extend to knee or elbow, 4 = Symptoms above knees or elbow or functionally disabling Motor symptoms : 0 = N, 1 = slight difficulty, 2 = moderate difficulty, 3 = require help/assistance, 4 = paralysis Autonomic symptoms : 0 = N, 1 , 2, 3, 4 (number of symptoms) Pin sensibility and vibration sensibility : 0 = normal (n), 1 = reduced in fingers/toes, 2 = reduced to wrist/ankle, 3 = reduced to elbow/knee, 4 = reduced to above elbow/knee Strength : 0 = n, 1 = mild weakness, 2 = moderate weakness, 3 = severe weakness, 4 = paralysis Deep tendon reflexe : 0 = n, 1 = ankle reflex reduced, 2 = ankle reflex absent, 3 = ankle reflex absent, other reduced, 4 = all reflexes absent

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Occurence of adverses events to taxanes (dysgeusia, myalgia, digestive toxicity tearing, onycholysis.)From baseline and up to 4 months of follow-upEach adverse event will be evaluated using CTCAE score grading (from best to worst) : * 0 : none * 1 : minimal * 2 : moderate * 3 : severe * 4 : very severe
