About this study
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether Nuvastatic 300 capsule can reduce cancer-related fatigue in adult patients with colon cancer undergoing first-line chemotherapy.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Read more
Does Nuvastatic 300 capsule significantly reduce cancer-related fatigue compared to placebo? Is Nuvastatic 300 capsule safe and well tolerated in this patient population?
Researchers will compare Nuvastatic 300 capsule vs placebo to see if Nuvastatic 300 capsule improves fatigue scores and maintains an acceptable safety profile.
Participants will:
Receive Nuvastatic 300 capsule or placebo capsules (3 times per day) for 6 cycles of 20 days each (total ~120 treatment days).
Continue their standard first-line chemotherapy regimen. Provide blood samples assessment at Screening and End of Treatment. Complete patient diaries and fatigue assessments as per protocol.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Nuvastatic 300 in people with Fatigue Related to Cancer Treatment and Colon Cancer, run by Natureceuticals Sdn Bhd at 6 sites in India.
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 8 inclusion and 13 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 6 sites in India. 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Aman Shah Abdul Majid, MBChB, DPhil (+605-2490500, amanharvard2020@outlook.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Reduction in cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer patients undergoing first-line chemotherapy, assessed after treatment with Nuvastatic versus placebo. (time frame: From Screening to EOT (about 6 months)). The study lists 2 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 25 Jun 2026.
