Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Hand Foot Syndrome(HFS) is a well known adverse effect of Capecitabine, with rates ranging between 22%-735, as per various studies. Although not life threatening, it is associated with severe discomfort and impairment of quality of life, which is why addressing HFS is important. There is no well established prophylaxis for HFS. Our study aims to assess the efficacy of Urea cream to prevent Capecitabine induced HFS. Patients will be randomized into 2 arms. Patients in Arm A will be instructed to used 12% urea cream three times daily on hands and feet, as well as after washing. Patients in Arm B will be kept on observation. Primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of urea cream vs placebo to prevent HFS of any grade within a 6-week period. Secondary objectives include time to development of HFS, time to capecitabine dose interruption, evaluation of capecitabine dose intensity, quality of life analyses.
