We hypothesize that depletion of carnitine occurs during infusion of oxaliplatin, due to increased renal loss. This secondary carnitine deficiency may contribute to the development of CIPN.

- To evaluate the course of plasma- and urinary carnitine levels of all carnitine esters during the first cycle of treatment with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy: <br>
Plasma and urinary concentrations of different carnitine-esters before, during and right after administration of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common, dose-limiting side effect of cytotoxic agents that can lead to decreased quality of life and suboptimal treatment, which can lead to decreased survival. Currently, there are no effective prophylactic and therapeutic options available. Research has been done to study the effect of carnitine, but results are contradictory probably due to severe heterogeneity between different studies and inadequate administration of carnitine. We hypothesize that depletion of carnitine occurs during infusion of oxaliplatin, due to increased renal loss. This might contribute to the development of CIPN. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the course of plasma- and urinary levels of different carnitine-esters during IV administration of oxaliplatin. A prospective observational study will be performed. All patients planned to start with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy at the Máxima Medical Centre in Veldhoven/Eindhoven are eligible for participation in this study.
