About this study

Official title: A Multisite, Open-label, Prospective Cohort Study Investigating Huaier Granule Combined With Biliary Drainage for Treatment of Malignant Obstructive Jaundice(MOJ)

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination treatment of Huaier granule and biliary drainage for malignant obstructive jaundice.

Read the detailed description

After sign the informed consent, the, eligible patients are those who have completed the examinations within 2 weeks after the biliary drainage will enter the study and visit the study sites at Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 48. The follow-up duration is up to 48 weeks or until the death of patient during the study. The patients will be allocated to two groups based on whether being exposed to Huaier granule or not.

Study data will be collected prospectively, including the patients' baseline characteristics, chemo-/radio-therapy history, previous Huaier granule treatment, laboratory tests, imaging examinations, and various clinical endpoints including liver function, quality of life, status of survival, and safety.

This is a non-interventional study in patient population in real world. Therefore, the patients' treatment regimen will not be interfered, i.e., the patients will independently decide whether to take Huaier granule or not based on the recommendation from the clinician after the drainage. The patients will be allocated into different groups completely according to their treatment at clinic in real world. During the study, only the study required data and endpoints will be collected.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival

    the time interval between baseline and the time of death due to any cause

    Measured: every 12 weeks until death, up to 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. overall survival rate

    Overall survival rate at 48 weeks was defined as the proportion of patients who were alive at 48 weeks

    Measured: 48 weeks

  2. Median survival time (MST)

    indicate the survival time when only 50% of patients are still alive.

    Measured: 48 weeks

  3. Karnofsky (KPS) score

    improved is defined as KPS increases >10 after treatment; worsen is defined as KPS decreases >10; stable is defined as KPS changes ≤10.

    Measured: 48 weeks

  4. Liver function 1

    Measurement of direct bilirubin

    Measured: 12、24、36、48 weeks

  5. Liver function 2

    Measurement of total bilirubin

    Measured: 12、24、36、48 weeks

  6. Liver function 3

    the time of reoccurrence of jaundice.

    Measured: 12、24、36、48 weeks

  7. Quality of Life (QoL) score

    Quality of Life (QOL) were measured using supplemental quality of life questions. Item score range(12 items): 1(worst symptom) to 5 (no symptom). Change: score at 48 weeks minus score at baseline.

    Measured: 48 weeks

  8. Adverse Events

    Incidence rate of Adverse events

    Measured: 12、24、36、48 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Jaundice, run by zhaoyu liu.

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 7 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact zhaoyu liu, Professor (+0086-18940251226, liuzhaoyu001@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall survival (time frame: every 12 weeks until death, up to 48 weeks). 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 24 Apr 2018.
