About this study

Official title: Single-arm, Non-randomized, Open, Drug Tolerance Trial of Cinobufacini Injection Intraperitoneal Perfusion Treatment on Digestive System Cancer Patients With Ascites

To evaluate the tolerance and safety of cinobufacini injection intraperitoneal treatment on digestive system cancer patients with malignant ascites, and propose dosage regimens for future clinical trials. The clinical trial is divided into two parts, including single and successive administration.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the tolerance and safety of cinobufacini injection intraperitoneal treatment on digestive system cancer patients with malignant ascites, and propose dosage regimens for future clinical trials. A single-arm, non-randomized, open, drug tolerance trial will be conducted. The clinical trial is divided into two parts, including single and successive administration.The single administration includes 7 groups, dose is escalated from 15ml to 180ml, with 2-6 patients per dose level. Central venous catheters will be preserved for drainage of ascites, after the drainage of most of ascites, we will slowly inject a dilute concentration of cinobufacini injection with escalated dosage through the catheters. This treatment will be given only once, and the volunteers will be observed for 24 hours. Then we will evaluate the observation indexes, including adverse events, vital signs, electrocardiogram, blood routine, urine routine, hepatic and renal function, etc. The successive administration includes 2 groups, according to the result of single administration, choose the second largest tolerance dose to conduct the 1st group of successive administration. If there are significant adverse effects, then drop to a lower dose to conduct the 2nd group; if the trial shows no adverse effects, it upgrades to a higher dose (the maximum tolerated dose) to conduct the 2nd group. The treatment will be given 3 times a week, 2 weeks as a period. Adverse effects will be evaluated during and after treatment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Cinobufacini InjectionDrug

    Cinobufacini injection is extracted from a traditional Chinese medicine Bufo toad skins, it's something cold and poisonous with damp evil. On one hand it can kill the cancer cells direct; on the other hand it has the ability to contract blood vessels and inhibit the formation of tumor new vessels. It has been widely used in the treatment of various malignancies.

What is being measured

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

  1. the grade of adverse events

Each item is graded 1-5.

    Measured: 14 days
