An interventional study of Liangxue ointment（Traditional Chinese Ointment） and Urea cream in Hand-Foot Syndrome, sponsored by Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute. Recruiting at 1 site in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-09-04.

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.
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.
43 studies on the registry are indexed under Hand-Foot Syndrome; 9 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 220 is above the median of 60 across 37 interventional studies indexed under Hand-Foot Syndrome.

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.
The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).
Your pathology report is the document that shows this.
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.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Able to have children. For women this usually means from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery; for men, unless permanently sterile. Read who the line is about — participants, women, men, or their partners.
Criteria about it usually ask for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
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.
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.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

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
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.
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
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
Started Mar 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2025, 12 months after the start.
