Peripheral and Motor neuropathy represent a main obstacle for a better quality of life for cancer patients, Venlafaxine is introduced in a new dosing regimen for treating of oxaliplatin and taxanes induced peripheral neuropathy in cancer patients.
Neurologic complications of anticancer therapy may result from direct toxic effects on the nervous system or via indirectly induced metabolic derangements or cerebrovascular disorders. A wide range of neurologic complications can associate antineoplastic drug treatment. Among the widely used anticancer drugs are the platinum-based compounds cisplatin and oxaliplatin which are the most commonly associated with various forms of neurotoxicity. Moreover, taxanes (paclitaxel) are also associated with neurotoxicity. In a double-blind trial in which 48 patients who treated with oxaliplatin-induced acute neurotoxicity were randomly assigned to venlafaxine (37.5 mg extended release twice daily from day 2 to 11) or placebo, however the 2014 systematic review of neuroprotectants from ASCO concluded that the venlafaxine data were not strong enough to recommend its use in clinical practice, until additional supporting data become available. patients will be randomly assigned to treatment arms:
