PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 4 weeks, 10 weeks

Population: Study was terminated due to difficulty in recruiting subjects. Data was not collected or analyzed.

Body weight will be measured at the time of accrual, and at 4 and 10 weeks of cross-over treatment.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 4 weeks

Population: Study was terminated due to difficulty in recruiting subjects. Data was not collected or analyzed.

Quality of life will be measured using the FACT-Hep questionnaire (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy for patients with liver, bile duct and pancreas cancer) for physical, social, emotional, and functional quality of life at the time of accrual, and at 4 weeks of cross-over treatment. The FACT-Hep scale consists of 45 questions, with possible responses ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Therefore, the total score can range from 0 (not at all - no issues) to 180 (very much - very poor quality of life).
