About this study

Official title: Survival Benefit of Compound Kushen Injection in Treatment of Advanced Colorectal Cancer Based on Real World Registration Platform

To clarify the effectiveness and safety of compound kushen injection in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study include a multi-center, randomized, parallel controlled clinical trial. The randomized clinical trial will enroll approximately 320 patients. Participants will be randomly divided into experimental (n=160) and control groups (n=160). Patients in the experimental group was treated with first-line scheme + compound kushen injection. Patients in the control group will receive first-line scheme. The primary endpoint is PFS. The research protocol was approved by the relevant ethics committees, and the study was conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice guidelines. Patients gave written informed consent to participate in the trial.

What is being measured

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

  1. PFS

    Progression Free Survival

    Measured: The time from randomization to tumor progression or death in patients, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. OS

    Overall survival

    Measured: The time from randomization to death from any cause after enrollment, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months

  2. 1-year survival rate

    The probability of patients surviving more than 1 year after treatment

    Measured: The proportion of patients with survival period of more than 1 year accounted for the total patients from the beginning of enrollment treatment

  3. 1-year PFS rate

    the proportion of the total patients who does not with tumor progression or death within 1 year from enrollment.

    Measured: The proportion of patients with tumor progression or death from enrollment.
