An observational study in Obstructive Jaundice, sponsored by zhaoyu liu. Status unknown. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-04-24.
Sponsored by zhaoyu liu · Observational
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination treatment of Huaier granule and biliary drainage for malignant obstructive jaundice.
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.
62 studies on the registry are indexed under Jaundice, Obstructive; 15 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 852 is above the median of 125 across 20 observational studies indexed under Jaundice, Obstructive.

Patients with malignant obstructive jaundice
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.
Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Huaier Granule \& biliary drainage
biliary drainage.
Overall survival
the time interval between baseline and the time of death due to any cause
Time frame: every 12 weeks until death, up to 48 weeks
overall survival rate
Overall survival rate at 48 weeks was defined as the proportion of patients who were alive at 48 weeks
Time frame: 48 weeks
Median survival time (MST)
indicate the survival time when only 50% of patients are still alive.
Time frame: 48 weeks
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.
Time frame: 48 weeks
Liver function 1
Measurement of direct bilirubin
Time frame: 12、24、36、48 weeks
Liver function 2
Measurement of total bilirubin
