Double-Blind Phase III Study of Pyridoxine vs Placebo for the Prevention of Capecitabine-induced Hand-Foot Syndrome
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Pyridoxine and Placebo for Hand-foot Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 389 participants.
Detailed Summary
Although pyridoxine has been used empirically for the prevention of capecitabine associated hand-foot syndrome (HFS), its efficacy needs to be demonstrated in prospective controlled trials. The investigators therefore performed a prospective randomized double-blind study to determine whether pyridoxine 200 mg/day can prevent the development of HFS when given concurrently with capecitabine. The investigators also tested the ability of pyridoxine to treat primary occurrence of grade 2-3 HFS.
