Étude Pilote DEXEL-RH: Comparaison de Deux schémas Posologiques de DEXaméthasone en prévention Des Réactions d'Hypersensibilité au paclitaXEL
Primary objective:
To assess the feasibility of a randomized, parallel, two-arm, controlled and double blind
trial designed to compare the quality of life of patients taking dexamethasone 20 mg IV 30
minutes before paclitaxel with those taking a standard dose of dexamethasone, 20 mg orally
12 hours and 6 hours before paclitaxel, in patients taking paclitaxel every two to three
weeks for a minimum of two cycles in order to estimate a sample size.
Secondary objectives:
Between the two study groups, to compare:
- Quality of life during the first two cycles of chemotherapy;
- Efficacy of dexamethasone in preventing acute hypersensitivity reactions to paclitaxel
in the first two cycles of chemotherapy;
- Adverse effects associated with dexamethasone on a daily basis during the first seven
days of the first two cycles of chemotherapy.
Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the two study groups.
