Study summary

The purpose of this research is to assess the safety profile and clinical benefit of Awar-Awar leaf active fraction as a complementary therapy in chemotherapy of stage IV breast cancer

Read the detailed description

The study uses a double blind design and randomized controlled trial that compares the safety and clinical efficacy profiles of 3 treatment groups (each consists of 97 subjects who received chemotherapy for 6 cycles). The treatment group was given FADA at a dose of 800 mg/day and 2000 mg/day compared to the placebo group. Interim analysis is carried out after 25% of the subjects completed 3 cycles of chemotherapy; whereas interim analysis II is carried out after 50% of the subjects completed 3 cycles of chemotherapy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Quality of life assessment

    The change of quality of life index during 6 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle is 21 days). The score ranges from 0 (best) to 100 (worst).

    Time frame: The measurement is at 3-7 days before the 4th cycle of chemotherapy (each cycle is 21 days), and 14-21 days after the 6th cycle (each cycle is 21 days)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Adverse events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).

    Safety data will be collected by monitoring and recording all adverse events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events(SAEs)

    Time frame: throughout the duration of the trial (126 days) or 6 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle is 21 days)
