NCT04615884 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2025-07-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether Chinese Herb supplements lead to a measurable improvement in symptoms commonly experienced by patients with advanced stage lung cancer and an improvement in quality of life. In our previously conducted single-arm observational study we found significant improvement in physical well-being, tiredness and drowsiness with no evidence of increased toxicity even in those on cytotoxic chemotherapy. Based on the encouraging results of this study we plan to move to a placebo-controlled study using the same Chinese Herb formula.
