Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Gestational Trophoblastic Tumor, Neurotoxicity, Peripheral Neuropathy, Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

In brief

RATIONALE: Amifostine may be effective in relieving numbness, tingling, and other symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. It is not yet known whether amifostine is effective in treating peripheral neuropathy in patients who have received chemotherapy for cancer.
