Study summary

This study was a prospective, single-center randomized controlled trial. The subject of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine Liangxue Ointment in the treatment of hand-foot syndrome caused by VEGFR-TKI drugs.

Read the detailed description

This study was a prospective, single-center randomized controlled trial. Patients with hand-foot syndrome caused by VEGFR-TKI drugs were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group at a ratio of 1:1 according to the numerical randomization method. All patients are required to avoid inappropriate local friction of hands and feet; avoid heavy physical labor and sun exposure; eat a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and keep warm. The control group received urea cream application, and the experimental group received Liangxue ointment application.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 2-week treatment effectiveness

    According to the patient's NCI CTCAE grade improvement, it is divided into: 1) The clinical symptoms completely disappear, which is a complete remission; 2) The symptom grade decreases by 1 level or more (not including falling to level 0), which is a partial remission; 3) There is no change in symptoms. , is invalid. Calculate the treatment effectiveness at different time points respectively, and take the 2-week treatment effectiveness as the main research endpoint.

    Time frame: Participants will be followed for an expected average of 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Quality of life improvement value

    Quality of life improvement value: According to the HFS-14 scale, patients' quality of life scores were scored before and after treatment. Quality of life improvement value = quality of life score before treatment - quality of life score after treatment. The quality of life improvement values were calculated each week during treatment, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after the end of treatment.

    Time frame: The quality of life improvement values were calculated each week during treatment, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after the end of treatment.

  2. Pain relief rate

    Pain relief rate: The NRS numerical scoring method is used to evaluate the pain before and after treatment: 1) The disappearance of pain after treatment is complete relief; 2) The pain score after treatment / the pain score before treatment ≤50% is effective; 3) There is no change in pain, which is invalid. Pain relief rate = (number of complete relief cases + number of effective cases)/total number of cases × 100%.

    Time frame: Participants will be followed for an expected average of 4 weeks

  3. Drug discontinuation and dose reduction rate

    Drug discontinuation and dose reduction: the rate of drug discontinuation or dose reduction in the two groups due to severe hand-foot syndrome caused by VEGFR-TKI drugs.

    Time frame: Participants will be followed for an expected average of 4 weeks
