Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathies (CIPN) are primarily sensory impairments that can alter the signals for somatosensory feedback and thus affect the postural control in the standing position. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of chemotherapy and peripheral neuropathies on postural control in the standing position. As balance maintenance is a complex construct involving different systems, this study will evaluate maintenance strategies during sensory disturbances in order to better understand post-chemotherapy coping strategies. These sensory disturbances concern vision (eyes closed) and the alteration of the somatosensory system (foam under the feet and vibration system). In addition, this study will evaluate balance in double task situations and dynamic stability. Given the consequent impact of chemotherapy and peripheral neuropathies on quality of life, a quality of life questionnaire will also be administered.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'The study population will consist of 31 women between the ages of 18 and 65 consulting at the University Hospitals for their oncological disease.', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\nWomen\n\n* between 18 and 65 years;\n* with a gynaecological cancer about to start chemotherapy known to be neurotoxic (paclitaxel, docetaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or paclitaxel-carboplatin);\n* able to stand upright for 30 s on a flat surface without assistance;\n* able to provide written consent\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\nWomen\n\n* with pre-existing vestibular, uncorrectable visual, or somatosensory disorders or other pathologies altering postural control that would influence testing;\n* with exposure to known neurotoxic chemotherapy (paclitaxel, docetaxel, nab-paclitaxel, vinorelbine, trastuzumab-emtansine, eribulin, or paclitaxel-carboplatin) that may have caused previous CIPN;\n* with an inability to perform the test due to poor comprehension of instructions or psychological problems.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04692168', 'briefTitle': 'Influence of Chemotherapy on Postural Control in Women With Cancer', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'School of Health Sciences Geneva'}, 'officialTitle': 'Influence of Chemotherapy on Postural Control and Quality of Life in Women With Gynaecological Cancer: a Prospective Observational Study', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '105909'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': '2020-01639', 'type': 'REGISTRY', 'domain': 'BASEC'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Entire group', 'description': 'The group will be test prior and three months after a neurotoxic chemotherapy for gynecological cancer.'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '1205', 'city': 'Geneva', 'country': 'Switzerland', 'facility': 'Geneva University Hospitals', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 46.20222, 'lon': 6.14569}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Aline Reinmann', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'School of Health Sciences Geneva'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'timeFrame': 'Data will be available within 6 months of study completion', 'ipdSharing': 'YES', 'description': 'De-identified individual participant data for all primary and secondary outcomes will be made available.', 'accessCriteria': 'At the end of the project the data will be deposited in the Yareta repository developed by the University of Geneva OR in an institutional repository.
