• Registration Number: NCT05908838
• Lead Sponsor: ShuGuang Hospital

Brief Summary

Research purpose To elucidate the effect mechanism and clinical effective of Modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction in the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer. From genes related to cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, tumor invasion and metastasis, genes related to immune inflammation and immune escape and other possible aspects to elucidate the effective and mechanism of Modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction's treatment on gastric cancer

Detailed Description

Modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction treatment and mechanism on Gastric Cancer. Main Responsibility Person: Mingyu Sun research center#Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Trial Objective#Observe the clinical efficacy and mechanism of Modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction in the treatment gastric cancer Therapeutic Schedule#In this study, 146patients with gastric cancer who received chemotherapy in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery and Oncology, Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were recruited and divided into groups according to random number table method, namely, 73 patients in the Modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction combined chemotherapy group and 73 patients in the Placebo granules combined chemotherapy group.Modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction group was treated with 18 weeks of Chinese patent medicine Modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction at the same time of chemotherapy. The Overall survival, Progression-free survival, Solid tumor efficacy, TCM syndrome score, quality of life score, Tumor markers, Immune function and adverse reactions of the two groups before and 18 weeks after treatment were observed and compared. Elucidate the possible mechanism of action of Modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction in the treatment of gastric cancer patients.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
combination chemotherapy with Placebo granules	combination chemotherapy with Placebo granules	The control group received combination chemotherapy with Placebo granules.
combination chemotherapy with Modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction	Modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction	146 patients with gastric cancer were randomly divided into a treatment group of 73 cases and a control group of 73 cases. The treatment group received combination chemotherapy with Modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Overall survival	the patients' were included into the clinical trials and up to 18 weeks treatment	To observe the effects of treatment group and control group on OS in patients with advanced gastric cancer, and evaluate whether there is statistical difference in OS between the two groups.From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 18 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Clinical symptoms	the patients' were included into the clinical trials and up to 18 weeks treatment	According to the scoring criteria of the Guidelines for Clinical Research of New Chinese Medicines (2002), the symptoms of patients after treatment were determined. The improvement of patients' overall symptoms was evaluated by Nimodipine method, and the efficacy index after treatment = (total score before treatment - total score after treatment)/total score before treatment \*100%.
EORTC QLQ-C30	the patients' were included into the clinical trials and up to 18 weeks treatment	The quality of life score is based on the EuroPean organization for Research and Treatment (EORTC) Quality of Life Scale (QLQ-C30 v3.0), which records changes in quality of life before and after treatment and compares them. Linear transformation of statistical results was performed to obtain standardized scores (0\~100 points), so that scores in various fields could be compared with each other, and the problem of reverse entries could be solved at the same time. The higher the score of symptom field obtained by each subscale, the worse the quality of life condition. The higher the scores in the areas of function and general health, the better the patient's quality of life. Analyze whether there was a statistical difference between the two groups.
Immune function	the patients' were included into the clinical trials and up to 18 weeks treatment	T cell subsets of the two groups to determine whether there was a statistical difference between the two groups before and after treatment.
Tumor markers	the patients' were included into the clinical trials and up to 18 weeks treatment	Detect the biomarkers (CA72-4, CEA, CA19-9, CA242, CA50, CA125) of two groups of patients before and after treatment to determine whether there is a statistical difference between the two groups before and after treatment.
Progression-free survival	the patients' were included into the clinical trials and up to 18 weeks treatment	The time between the first treatment and tumor progression or death.From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, whichever came first, assessed up to 18 months. To observe the effects of treatment group and control group on PFS in patients with advanced gastric cancer, and evaluate whether there is a statistical difference in PFS between the two groups.
