About this study

Official title: A Clinical Study of 35 kDa Hyaluronan Fragment in Treatment of Pain and Discomfort Associated With Advanced Lung Cancer

In this research, the patients with advanced lung cancer accompanied by pain and discomfort were treated by injecting freshly manufactured tissue permeable hyaluronan fragment HA35 into the tissue under abdominal adipose.

Read the detailed description

Pain is generally considered the most common symptom of lung cancer. The three most common causes of pain in patients with advanced lung cancer are: 1. metastasis of lung cancer to the bones, which accounts for approximately 34 percent of lung cancer pain; 2. Presence of a Pancoast tumor, located at the top of the lung close to the brachial plexus nerves and cervical sympathetic nerves, which accounts for approximately 31 percent of lung cancer pain; 3. Spread of the cancer into the chest wall, accounting for approximately 21 percent of lung cancer pain.

Palliative care is a specialized field that aims to alleviate symptoms and maximize the patient's quality of life. Palliative care does not focus on curing the disease or prolonging life, which is the goal of other cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy. However, palliative care is an important part of the patient's treatment plan and encompasses physical symptoms, psychosocial distress, spiritual distress, and caregiver distress.

The management of pain due to lung cancer may include a combination of medications, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, opioids (pain medications), and antidepressants. For metastases to the bone, radiation therapy and the use of bisphosphonates (drugs to help prevent bone breakdown) can alleviate pain. In addition, smoking cessation (stopping smoking) is recommended, as surveys have revealed that lung cancer patients who continue to smoke after diagnosis have a higher incidence of pain and other lung cancer complications than nonsmokers and those who quit smoking.

While pain is the most common symptom of lung cancer, other symptoms include: persistent coughing,wheezing,shortness of breath,hoarseness,weight loss,loss of appetite,fatigue or feeling weak and respiratory infections (like bronchitis or pneumonia) that don't go away or keep returning.

Hyaluronidase PH20 produced 35 kDa tissue permeable low molecular weight hyaluronan fragment by cutting high molecular hyaluronan. The previous clinical studies had shown that local injection of 35 kDa hyaluronan fragment effectively relieved inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain and promoted chronic wound healing.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
35 kDa hyaluronan fragment injectionExperimental35kDa hyaluronan fragment was produced by using hyaluronidase PH20 to cleave 1600kDa hyaluronan ( HA1600 ). Batch number of 35 kDa hyaluronan fragment injection is L20200708MP07707,and the injection was approved by Ministry of Health, Mongolia.
Receives: Drug: 35 kDa hyaluronan fragment

What is being measured

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

  1. A pain scale

    0 represents no pain or discomfort , while 10 represents the most serious pain or discomfort.

    Measured: twenty eight days

  2. Respiratory symptom cough

    A modified pain scale was used to assess respiratory symptom cough associated with advanced lung cancer. 0 represents no cough while 10 represents the most severe cough.

    Measured: twenty eight days

  3. Fatigue

    A modified pain scale was used to assess fatigue associated with advanced lung cancer. 0 represents no fatigue while 10 represents the most severe fatigue.

    Measured: twenty eight days

  4. The degree of facial skin brightness and facial expression or spirit

    A modified pain scale was used to assess the degree of facial skin brightness and facial expression or spirit associated associated with advanced lung cancer. 0 represents the best degree of facial skin brightness while 10 represents the worst degree of facial skin brightness; 0 represents the best degree of facial expression or spirit while 10 represents the worst degree of facial expression or spirit.

    Measured: twenty eight days

  5. chest CT scans

    namely "significant reduction" or "significant increase" or "no significant changes" in lung tumor mass.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 35 kDa hyaluronan fragment in people with Advanced Lung Cancer, run by Nakhia Impex LLC at 1 site in Mongolia.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Mongolia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

A pain scale (time frame: twenty eight days). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Jan 2024.
