Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Mecobalamin in Preventing Taxane-related Peripheral Neuropathy
Sponsor: Qinghai Red Cross Hospital
Summary
Some patients receiving taxane-based chemotherapy experience numbness, tingling, or pain in their hands and feet, known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). This study aims to find out whether oral mecobalamin can prevent or reduce CIPN. Participants will be assigned to take mecobalamin or to receive no routine mecobalamin prevention during chemotherapy, and outcomes will be compared between groups.

Interventions
Mecobalamin
Oral mecobalamin tablets, 0.5 mg three times daily (total 1.5 mg/day), starting on Day 1 of taxane-based chemotherapy and continuing until completion of chemotherapy, administered as prophylaxis for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Participants in both groups are not permitted to use any other medications or supplements specifically for the prophylaxis of CIPN during the study period. However, if CIPN-related symptoms (e.g., pain, paresthesia) occur, the treating physician will provide standard symptomatic treatment in accordance with current clinical guidelines.
