What was measured

The Neuropathy Impairment Score -Lower Limbs (NIS-LL) is the objective measurement of PNP symptoms. The degree of PNP will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v4.03. The CTCAE is a 0-5 scale that assesses severity of neuropathy related to cancer therapy with higher scores meaning more symptoms A difference of 2 points between groups is considered significant. This measure will be performed at baseline and at 4 months.

Analysis population: All participants enrolled in study and given treatment.

Groups in this outcome

Arm I (Preventative Nutritional Supplementation)

Patients receive glutamine PO BID. Courses repeat every 28 days for 4 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. glutamine: Dose of 15 grams twice times daily (to equal 30 grams a day) for a period of 4 months. quality-of-life assessment: Ancillary studies

Arm II (Placebo)

Patients receive placebo PO BID. Courses repeat every 28 days for 4 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. quality-of-life assessment: Ancillary studies placebo: Given PO
