Randomized, Blinded Trial of Mesna to Prevent Doxorubicin-induced Plasma Protein Oxidation and TNF-α Release
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Mesna, Saline, and 2 other interventions for Breast Cancer and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the drug mesna is able to block a series of chemical changes that occur in the blood of patients who receive the chemotherapy medicine doxorubicin. The researchers believe these blood chemical changes may the cause of "cloudy thinking" or "chemobrain" that are reported by some patients receiving chemotherapy.
