Taxane and Taxane-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in African American Patients With Stage I-III Breast Cancer
NCT04001829 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This phase II trial studies whether a prior germline predictor of taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN) can help identify a subgroup of patients who are at higher risk of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in African American patients with stages I-III breast cancer. The study also investigates whether docetaxel maybe work better than paclitaxel with regard to TIPN rate/severity and dose reductions.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04001829
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04001829 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 2, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 249 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group, which has 52 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 10 conditions, with Anatomic Stage III Breast Cancer AJCC v8 appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Docetaxel is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04001829 reports 20 study locations spanning 5 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Alaska, California, Arkansas. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
