About this study
Official title: Hydrogen Gas Immunotherapy Promotes the Rehabilitation and Prognosis of Cancer Patients After Standard Treatments
The aim of this study is the efficacy of hydrogen gas immunotherapy to rehabilitation and prognosis of cancer patients.
Read the detailed description
By enrolling patients of multiple kinds of cancer adapted to enrolled criteria, this study will document for the first time the short and long term efficacy of hydrogen gas.The evaluation indexes include peripheral blood lymphocyte immunoassay, improvement of sleep, diet and exercise, progress free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
- Conditions
- Adult Solid Tumor
- Being tested
- oxyhydrogen generator (AMS-H-03), analogue machine
- Keywords
- Solid tumor, Hydrogen gas
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
oxyhydrogen generator (AMS-H-03)Device
Also called hydrogen generator
Rated gas output (L) : 3L/min, concentration of hydrogen and the oxygen was 66.6% and 33.3%, respectively. The patients inhale 3 hours each day through a cannula or mask, and persist for long term
analogue machineDevice
This machine has the same apperance and gas condition
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| oxyhydrogen generator (AMS-H-03) | Experimental | Model: AMS-H-03 Rated gas output (L) : 3L/min, concentration of hydrogen and the oxygen was 66.6% and 33.3%, respectively In this group, the patients will inhale hydrogen and oxygen with oxyhydrogen generator. The check indexes are questionnaire of sleep, diet and exercise, CT scan and blood tests (including tumor markers, lymphocyte subsets and circulating tumor cell). Receives: Device: oxyhydrogen generator (AMS-H-03) |
| Control | Placebo comparator | In this group, the patients will inhale normal air with analogue machine. The check indexes are questionnaire of sleep, diet and exercise, CT scan and blood tests (including tumor markers, lymphocyte subsets and circulating tumor cell). Receives: Device: analogue machine |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Improvement of sleep, diet and exercise
It will be evaluated by the questionnaire of EORTC QLQ-C30. The scores of each index before and after treatment need to be analyzed by statistical methods to reach a conclusion, and P< 0.05 is considered to be statistically different
Measured: 3 months
Improvement of immune function
It will be evaluated by the blood test, including tumor marker alpha fetoprotein (AFP), lymphocyte subsets (T and NK cells) and circulating tumor cell (CTCs). The reference range of AFP is 0-40 IU/mL, higher than this range indicates tumor risk, and the higher the value is, the faster the tumor growth rate will be. The t-cell range of the lymphocyte subclass is 603-2990 cell/uL, and the NK cell range is 95-640 cell/uL, lower than the reference range indicates low immune function. The CTC reference range is 0-1, and higher than the reference range indicates tumor activity.
Measured: 3 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
Progress free survival（PFS）
follow-up of CT scan
Measured: 1 year
Overall survival（OS）
follow-up survival
Measured: 3 years
