OBJECTIVE: Lafutidine, an antagonist of histamine H2-receptor, has gastroprotective activity associated with activation of capsaicin-mediated sensory nerves. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of lafutidine for the treatment of taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with gynecological malignancies. METHODS: Twenty patients with taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy during the treatment of gynecological malignancy were enrolled in this study. After obtaining their informed consent, lafutidine (20mg per day) was administered orally, the efficacy of which was assessed according to the Patient Neurotoxicity Questionnaire item 1. RESULTS: Significant, moderate, slight, and no effects were observed in four, five, five, and six patients, respectively. The efficacy including significant and moderate effect was observed in nine (45%) of the 20 patients (95% confidence interval, 25.8%-65.8%). No adverse effects due to lafutidine were observed. CONCLUSION: This pilot study supports the relatively high efficacy of lafutidine for the treatment of taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy. Further prospective studies are warranted. |
