Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

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.

Informed consent

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.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Clinical cure rate

    the proportion of patients who completely respond to the treatment at any study time point

    Time frame: During treatment(1 month to 6 months)

  2. Clinical response rate

    the proportion of patients who respond to the treatment at any study time point

    Time frame: During treatment(1 month to 6 months)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Surgical rate

    the proportion of patients who receive surgery at any study time point

    Time frame: During treatment(1 month to 6 months)

  2. Local recurrence rate

    the proportion of patients who recur at any study time point

    Time frame: Within 6 months after treatment

  3. Adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events (SAE)

    For adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events (SAE), refer to NCI-CTC AE 5.0 standard.

    Time frame: During treatment(1 month to 6 months)

Other outcomes

  1. Expression of immune cells

    Expression of immune cells (T cell, B cell, NK cell)

    Time frame: During treatment(1 month to 6 months)

  2. Expression of cytokines (IL, INF-r, TNF-a)

    Expression of cytokines (IL, INF-r, TNF-a)

    Time frame: During treatment(1 month to 6 months)

  3. C-reactive protein

    Expression of c-reactive protein

    Time frame: During treatment(1 month to 6 months)

  4. Clinical symptom scores

    Clinical symptom scores were measured using traditional Chinese medicine clinical symptom assessment with reference to The Disease Diagnosis Curative Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine Standard. The clinical symptom scales include mass size, swelling, discharge, retraction, abscess, fistula. The higher the score, the worse the symptom. Clinical symptom scores of patients before and after treatment were observed and compared.

    Time frame: During treatment(1 month to 6 months)
