简要总结

The AFERBIO study will evaluates safety and potential benefit of AferBio® in patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing at least a second-line palliative monochemotherapy. AferBio® is a fermented supplement in powder form obtained through biotechnological processes developed in Brazil. In this double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial, participants starting a new palliative regimen will be allocated to AferBio® or placebo. The primary aim will be to compare health-related QOL scores among the arms of the study over time.

  • Diagnosis of metastatic or recurrent NSCLC, beginning second-line palliative mono-chemotherapy treatment;
  • Functional capacity (ECOG-PS) grade 0 - 2;
  • Adequate hematological, kidney and liver function, as follows:

  • (140 - age) × (weight in Kkg) × (0.85) 72 × (serum creatinine in mg/dL)
  • Absence of any emotional, family-related, sociological, or geographic condition that can potentially hamper adherence to the study protocol and the follow-up schedule;
  • Capacity and willingness to adhere to the study visits and tests, and to adhere to the protocol, according to the researcher's evaluation.
