简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Roasted Nux Vomica Capsules in the treatment of BIPN in patients with multiple myeloma.
A total of 22 patients with multiple myeloma who developed peripheral neuropathy after receiving bortezomib-based chemotherapy will be enrolled at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University. All patients will receive oral Roasted Nux Vomica Capsules at a dose of 0.4 g three times daily for 6 consecutive weeks.
The researchers will assess the severity of peripheral neuropathy assessed by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.0, traditional Chinese medicine symptom (TCM) scores, and neurotoxicity scores measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-NTx) scale at baseline (before treatment) and at 2, 4, and 6 weeks after starting treatment. The study will also explore the underlying mechanism of Roasted Nux Vomica in treating BIPN through the lncRNA ZFAS1 pathway.
This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University (Approval Number: 2021-K-263-01).
详细描述
Study Background: Bortezomib is a first-line proteasome inhibitor for the treatment of multiple myeloma, but BIPN is one of its most common and dose-limiting adverse effects, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients and may lead to treatment discontinuation. Currently, there is no effective standard treatment for BIPN. Roasted Nux Vomica has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to treat pain and neurological disorders, and preliminary studies have shown its potential neuroprotective effects.
Study Design:This is a single-arm, open-label, prospective clinical study. A total of 22 eligible patients with multiple myeloma complicated with BIPN will be enrolled.
Intervention: All enrolled patients will receive oral Strychnos nux-vomica L. Capsules at a dose of 0.4 g three times daily for 6 consecutive weeks. All patients will continue to receive their original bortezomib-based chemotherapy regimen during the study period.
Outcome Measures
- Primary outcome: Change in NCI-CTCAE grade from baseline to weeks 2, 4, and 6.
- Secondary outcomes: Changes in TCM scores, FACT/GOG-NTx scale, and quality of life scores from baseline to weeks 2, 4, and 6.
- Exploratory outcome: Changes in the expression level of lncRNA ZFAS1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

研究组 & 干预措施
Roasted Nux Vomica Capsules Intervention Group
All eligible patients with bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy (BIPN) received oral Roasted Nux Vomica Capsules at a dose of 0.4 g three times daily for 6 consecutive weeks. All patients continued to receive their original bortezomib-based chemotherapy regimen during the study period. Efficacy assessments were performed at baseline and at weeks 2, 4, and 6 after treatment initiation.
干预措施: Roasted Nux Vomica Capsules (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in NCI-CTCAE grade from Baseline to Week 6
时间窗: Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, and Week 6 after treatment initiation
Change in peripheral neuropathy grade as assessed by the NCI-CTCAE version 4.0. Grades range from 0 (no neuropathy) to 4 (life-threatening neuropathy).
次要结局
- Change in FACT/GOG-NTx Neurotoxicity Score from Baseline to Week 6(Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, and Week 6 after treatment initiation)
