About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Concurrent Radiotherapy With Realgar-Indigo Naturalis Formula in the Treatment of Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma

The goal of this clinical trial]is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and feasibility of radiotherapy combined with Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula(An oral arsenic agent)in the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma in children. Including the occurrence of adverse events and the improvement of quality of life.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Realgar-Indigo Naturalis FormulationDrug

    Radiotherapy: after 4 courses of chemotherapy, radiotherapy was started 13 weeks later. The radiotherapy was performed by three-dimensional conformal intensity modulated radiation (IMRT) technique with a dose of 45-50.4 grey, and radiotherapy was performed 5 times per week for 5-6 weeks.

    Oral administration of Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula from 1 week before radiotherapy to the whole radiotherapy period.

    Dosage: oral, according to body weight, 3 times a day.Because the patient constitution is different, may first start from the half dose, within 3 days gradually increases the dose.In this study, the dosage of Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula (250mg per tablet) was determined according to the patient's weight stage.In each body weight segment, 60 mg/kg realgar-indigo naturalis formula were given according to the upper limit of body weight

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective response rate

    It refers to the proportion of patients with tumor shrinkage reaching a certain level and maintaining it for a certain period of time, including CR and PR cases.Objective tumor response was assessed using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1 criteria).Subjects must have measurable tumor lesions at baseline, and the efficacy evaluation criteria are divided into complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) and progressive disease (PD) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.

    Measured: 1-year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Disease Control Rate

    Refers to the percentage of CR, PR and SD (≥4 weeks) cases in evaluable patients.

    Measured: 1-year

  2. Overall survival

    Refers to the time from the date of patient enrollment to death due to any cause.

    Measured: 2-year

  3. Quality of life score

    Measured: 1-year

  4. Adverse events

    Observe the adverse events occurring in all subjects during the clinical study

    Measured: 1-year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Realgar-Indigo Naturalis Formulation and Radiotherapy in people with Rhabdomyosarcoma, Child, run by Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong 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 15 inclusion and 10 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 1 Feb 2023. 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. 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?

Contact SiYu Chen, Dr (0086-13651687212, siyu.chen@shsmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective response rate (time frame: 1-year). 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 1 Feb 2023.
