About this study

Official title: The Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial of Kushen Injection Reducing Radiotherapy Related Adverse Reactions in Lung Cancer

The randomized controlled multicenter clinical study of compound Kushen Injection to reduce the radiotherapy related adverse reactions in lung cancer is a phase Ⅳ clinical trials,The main purpose is to evaluate the effect of compound Kushen Injection in preventing and reducing the radiotherapy related adverse reactions. The participants of the clinical trials are patients with lung cancer who need thoracic radiotherapy. In clinical trials, one group of participants is given compound Kushen Injection with chemoradiotherapy, while another group is only given chemoradiotherapy. The period of trials is 18 months.

Read the detailed description

Patients with lung cancer who need thoracic radiotherapy will be enrolled in the trial, then seprated randomly in two group,the KS injection group treated with chemoradiotherapy plus KS injection; the contral group treated with chemoradiotherapy only. After 6 months observation, The rates of incidence and the degree of adverse reactions caused by redioterapy; the completion rate of radiotherapy; clinical Symptoms; Qof and pulmonary function tests etc. will be evaluated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Compound Kushen Injection in people with Lung Cancer, run by Beijing Zheng Ju Medical Technology Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hongsheng Lin, Bachelor (86-10-63200600, bjzhengju@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The rates of incidence and the degree of adverse reactions caused by redioterapy (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jul 2017.
