Brief summary

This study recommends the use of OnLife dietary supplement, which will be followed by a few day before the initiation of PACLITAXEL, for the prevention of PACLITAXEL induced neuropathy. OnLife will be continued one month after stopping chemotherapy. This would limit the number of PACLITAXEL dose reductions and premature interruptions of this chemotherapy, thus potentially improving the results in terms of antitumor efficacy, while improving the quality of life of patients treated with weekly PACLITAXEL.

Detailed description

This study recommends the use of OnLife dietary supplement which will be followed by a few day before the initiation of PACLITAXEL for the prevention of PACLITAXEL induced neuropathy. OnLife will be continued one month after stopping chemotherapy. This would limit the number of PACLITAXEL dose reductions and premature interruptions of this cehemotherapy, thus potentially improving the results in terms of antitumor efficacy while improving the quality of life of patients treated with weekly PACLITAXEL. Two treatment arms : \- ARM A : 20 patients included in the placebo arm (Standard chemotherapy with PACLITAXEL + placebo dietary supplement) ARM B : 40 patients included in the experimental arm (standard PACLITAXEL chemotherapy + OnLife® food supplement)

Interventions

DRUGOnLife®

It is administered for the duration of PACLITAXEL chemotherapy with the first administration performed 5 days before the first PACLITAXEL administration. The OnLife supplement will be continued for another 4 weeks after the last PACLITAXEL administration. One tablet in the morning and one in the evening daily

OTHERPlacebo

It is administered for the duration of PACLITAXEL chemotherapy with the first administration performed 5 days before the first PACLITAXEL administration. Placebo will be continued for another 4 weeks after the last PACLITAXEL administration. One tablet in the morning and one in the evening daily

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Neuropathies will be graded by the oncologist using the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0.At 3 monthsNeuropathies will be graded by the oncologist using the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0. during the consultation with the oncologist at 3 months. The AE graded from 1 to 5. Grade 1 is a better and grade 5 is a worst outcome.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluation of Neuropathic pain symptom inventory (NPSI) scoresAt 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 6 months and 12 monthsEvaluation of Neuropathic pain symptom inventory scores by the questionnaire. The minimum value is 0 (no pain) and the maximum value is 10 (maximum pain)
All peripheral neuropathies graded by the oncologist according to CTCAE V5.0Every 4 weeks for one yearAssess the rate of grade ≥ 2 peripheral neuropathy by NCI-CTCAE V5.0 The AE graded from 2 to 5. Grade 2 is a better and grade 5 is a worst outcome.
Time to onset of grade ≥ 2 neuropathy.During 1 yearAssess time to onset of grade ≥ 2 neuropathy by Kaplan-Meyer method The AE graded from 2 to 5. Grade 2 is a better and grade 5 is a worst outcome.
Number of toxicities attributable to OnLife® dietary supplementEvery 4 weeks for one yearAssess toxicities attributable to OnLife® dietary supplement by NCI-CTCAE V5.0
Number of participants with musculoskeletal and joint painAt 12 weeks, 16 weeks 6 months and 12 months.Musculoskeletal and joint pain will be defined and graded according to the CTCAE v5.0 classification
Compliance with the Onlife®/Placebo dietary supplement16 weeksCompliance with the Onlife®/Placebo dietary supplement will be assessed by the accounting for treatments returned by patients to the pharmacy.
Quality of life of participantsAt baseline and then every 4 weeks for 4 months and then at 6 and 12 months.Quality of life will be assessed by the EORTC QLQ C30 self-questionnaires and its associated module Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN 20). The minimum value is 1 (no way) and the maximum value is 4 (a lot)
The number and rate of women with at least one dose reduction due to peripheral neuropathy.During 1 yearBy NCI-CTCAE V5.0
Name of all concomitant treatments administered for neuropathyAt 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 6 months and 12 months.By recording data in the eCRF for both arms
Evaluation of Overall Neuropathy Limitations Scale (ONLS) scoresAt 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 6 months and 12 monthsEvaluation of ONLS scores by the questionnaires. The minimum value is 0 (better outcome) and the maximum value is 5 (worse outcome)
The number and rate of women with at least one discontinuation of PACLITAXEL due to peripheral neuropathy.During 1 yearBy NCI-CTCAE V5.0
