Trial summary

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary highly malignant bone tumor in children and young people. Incidence rates are bimodal, with the first peak occurring in adolescence and the second peak in patients over 60 years of age. The 5-year survival rate of patients with osteosarcoma is less than 20%. Read more about this study

About this study

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary highly malignant bone tumor in children and young people. Incidence rates are bimodal, with the first peak occurring in adolescence and the second peak in patients over 60 years of age. The 5-year survival rate of patients with osteosarcoma is less than 20%. This study aims to improve the prognosis of patients and change the outcome of patients with osteosarcoma.

Read the detailed description

This project intends to conduct a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled clinical trial of ganoderma spore powder and doxorubicin combined with cisplatin chemotherapy in the treatment of osteosarcoma patients. The combination therapy of traditional chemotherapeutics has not played a good effect and has large side effects. The Ganoderma lucidum spore powder group is a natural botanical drug that has a good anti-tumor auxiliary effect in regulating the tumor immune microenvironment. The investigators' previous research showed that Ganoderma lucidum spore powder can inhibit the growth and metastasis of osteosarcoma in the body without obvious toxic and side effects, which indicates that this research scheme has strong feasibility.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ganoderma lucidum and Chemotherapy in people with Osteosarcoma, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine.

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 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effect of 5-year survival rate of Ganoderma osteosarcoma patients (time frame: up to 60 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 30 Mar 2020.
