Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of TJ-107 for oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neurotoxicity in prospective, multi-institutional, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II trials using the functional assessment of cancer therapy/gynecologic oncology group 12-item neurotoxicity questionnaire (FACT-GOG-NTX-12).

Patients And Methods: The patients who were registered to the Goshajinkigan oxaliplatin neurotoxicity evaluation study (UMIN000002211) were analyzed. A NTX-12 from the validated FACT/GOG-NTX-12 was assessed before treatment and at the end of every 2 cycles.

Results: The comparisons of the median scores for TJ-107 and the placebo at 8 and 26 weeks were as follows: numbness or tingling in the hands (P = 0.5820), numbness or tingling in the feet (P = 0.3236), feeling of discomfort in the hands (P = 0.8219), feeling of discomfort in the feet (P = 0.5361), joint pain or muscle cramps (P = 0.1974), feeling weak all over (P = 0.2771), trouble hearing (P = 0.2832), ringing or buzzing in ears (P = 0.1031), trouble buttoning buttons (P = 0.1653), trouble feeling the shape of small objects when held in hand (P = 0.2919), trouble walking (P = 0.5406), and pain in the hands or feet when exposed to cold temperatures (P = 0.1872).

Conclusion: There might be no clinically significant difference between the use of TJ-107 and the severity and quality of life for patients treated with oxaliplatin.

Treatment strategy of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy: a retrospective, nationwide study.

Support Care Cancer

February 2022

Division of Drug Informatics, School of Pharmacy, Kindai University, 3-4-1 Kowakae, Higashiosaka City, Osaka, 577-8502, Japan.

Purpose: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common adverse event of cancer treatment; however, no drug is recommended for the prevention of CIPN. In Japan, several drugs such as Gosha-Jinki-Gan and duloxetine are frequently administered as a treatment for CIPN. The aim of this study was to elucidate prescription patterns of drugs administered for CIPN caused by oxaliplatin and the association between these drugs and the duration of oxaliplatin treatment.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Goshajinkigan (GJG), a traditional Japanese Kampo formula, has been shown to exhibit several pharmacological actions, including antinociceptive effects. Processed aconite root (PA), which is considered to be an active ingredient of GJG, has also been demonstrated to have an ameliorative effect on pain, such as diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain. We recently identified neoline as the active ingredient of both GJG and PA that is responsible for its effects against oxaliplatin-induced neuropathic pain in mice.

New Insights into Potential Prevention and Management Options for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy.

January 2016

Sydney Medical School, University of Sydney, Sydney 2006, Sydney, Australia; Medlab Clinical, Sydney, Australia.

Objective: Neurological complications such as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and neuropathic pain are frequent side effects of neurotoxic chemotherapy agents. An increasing survival rate and frequent administration of adjuvant chemotherapy treatments involving neurotoxic agents makes it imperative that accurate diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of these neurological complications be implemented.

Methods: A consideration was undertaken of the current options regarding protective and treatment interventions for patients undergoing chemotherapy with neurotoxic chemotherapy agent or experience with CIPN.
