Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) Emerging Therapy and TPP Insights
Thelansis’s “Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) Emerging Therapy, with Unmet Needs and TPP Insights Report – 2026″ provides a comprehensive analysis of the emerging competitive landscape, unmet needs, target product profiles (TPPs), trial designs, and KOL insights on key emerging therapies and key drug development opportunities in the indication.
Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) Overview
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a prevalent and often dose-limiting toxicity resulting from neurotoxic antineoplastic agents, most notably taxanes, platinum compounds, and vinca alkaloids. Pathogenesis involves multifaceted damage to the peripheral nervous system, including axonal degeneration, mitochondrial dysfunction, and direct injury to the dorsal root ganglia, which are vulnerable due to high metabolic activity and a permeable blood-nerve barrier. Clinically, CIPN manifests as a symmetric sensory impairment in a glove-and-stocking distribution, characterized by numbness, paresthesia, and burning pain, and may involve a coasting effect where symptoms progress after treatment cessation. Risk is exacerbated by cumulative drug exposure, advanced age, and pre-existing diabetes. As there are no approved preventive agents, symptomatic management relies on the SNRI duloxetine as the frontline evidence-based intervention, while severe symptoms necessitate dose delays or permanent treatment discontinuation.
