Study Summary

Hand-foot syndrome (HFS), also known as palmar-plantar erythrodysethesia (PPE), occurs in a 25%-50% of patients treated with several commonly used anti-cancer drugs including capecitabine and sunitinib. These drugs are known to improve survival in many cancers, including cancers of the colon, stomach, liver, breast, kidney, and GI stromal tumors (GIST). Worldwide, over 400,000 patients per year are treated with one of these agents. HFS involves skin changes, such as swelling, peeling, and blistering of the palms and soles, which is often painful and debilitating. As a result, HFS-related symptoms can frequently lead to dose reduction and/or discontinuation of otherwise effective anti-cancer treatment. There is no treatment for HFS other than dose reduction or stopping treatment. This proposal could quickly lead to treatments to prevent and/or treat HFS and help patients avoid debilitating side effects while continuing otherwise effective treatments for their cancer.

Primary Outcome

Grading of PPE by NCI CTC criteria occurs every 2 weeks for subjects in the sunitinib arm for 1st 8 weeks (and as clinically indicated). Grading of PPE by NCI CTC criteria occurs every 3 weeks for subjects in the capeccitabine arm for the 1st 9 weeks (and as clinically indicated)
