Drug: Qishe Pill
Registration Number
NCT02294448
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Brief Summary

Qishe Pill (Shanghai Sundise Traditional Chinese Medicine Co., Ltd, China), composed of processed Radix Astragali, Muscone, Szechuan Lovage Rhizome, Radix Stephaniae Tetrandrae, Ovientvine, and Calculus Bovis Artifactus, has been developed and spread in use into clinical settings in 2009. As individualization has become the trend of modern medicine, a personalized medicine of Qishe Pill should be documented and practiced with various patients according to the ancient TCM system, a classification of personalized constitution type, which has been established to determine predisposition and prognosis to diseases as well as therapy and life-style administration. Therefore, we describe the population pharmacokinetic profile of Qishe Pill and compare its extent of metabolism in the 3 major Constitution Type (Qi-Deficiency, Yin-Deficiency and Blood-Stasis) to address major challenges of individualized and standardized Traditional Chinese Medicine into clinical practice.

Detailed Description

With the greatly increased morbidity of neck pain, it brought a large challenge to some optimal therapies for various situations in population at a given time based on their demographic, physiological and pathological characteristics. Chinese proprietary herbal medicines, as a kind of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), are usually developed from some well-established and long-standing recipes and formulated as tablets or capsules for commerce, convenience or palatability. Although these advantage mentioned, a good quantification and a strict standardization in detail are still need to be improved for individualized implementation in therapeutic strategies. Based on the YQHY decoction (Yi-Qi Hua-Yu Decoction, tonify Qi and promoting circulation and removing stasis), Qishe Pill (Shanghai Sundise Traditional Chinese Medicine Co., Ltd, China) has been developed and spread in use into clinical settings in 2009. As individualization has become the trend of modern medicine, a personalized medicine of Qishe Pill should be documented and practiced with various patients according to the ancient TCM system, a classification of personalized constitution type, which has been established to determine predisposition and prognosis to diseases as well as therapy and life-style administration. Therefore, we describe the population pharmacokinetic profile of Qishe Pill and compare its extent of metabolism in the 3 major Constitution Type (Qi-Deficiency, Yin-Deficiency and Blood-Stasis) to address major challenges of individualized and standardized Traditional Chinese Medicine into clinical practice.
