Study summary

Tuberculosis-related obstructive pulmonary disease (TOPD), as a high-burden disease in most countries, poses difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease when coexisting, and increases the risk of death for patients. Preliminary studies have shown that Yiqi Gubiao Wan has significant effects in relieving cough, alleviating asthma, expectorating phlegm, and delaying airway obstruction. The purpose of this study is to verify the therapeutic effect of Yiqi Gubiao pill on patients with TOPD through rigorous methodological design and to evaluate its safety. We will conduct a prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial. First, participants will be randomly assigned 1:1 to the Yiqi Gubiao pill treatment group and the Yiqi Gubiao pill placebo control group. This will be followed by a 12-week treatment. During the treatment period, we will measure and record the patients' lung function and quality of life. We will also score the patients' TCM symptoms. Finally, the safety of the medication will be assessed.

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.

Inclusion criteria

-

Patients who meet the following criteria will be included:

  1. Age 40-75 years old;
  2. Meet the Western medical diagnostic criteria and typing standards for active PTB;
  3. Patients who have not taken , anti-tuberculosis drugs, or other and have not undergone desensitization treatment within one month.
  4. Have understood the treatment methods and voluntarily signed the form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

-

Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded:

  1. Patients with pneumothorax, pleural effusion, lung cancer and other serious lung diseases;
  2. Patients with severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, hepatorenal and hematopoietic diseases;
  3. mentally ill;
  4. Patients with tumors;
  5. Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

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

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.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

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.

  • Placebo comparator
    Yiqi Gubiao Pill placebo

    Drug: Yiqi Gubiao Pill placebo

Interventions

  • DrugYiqi Gubiao pill

    Take 10 pills orally each time, three times a day, after meals, for a continuous period of 12 weeks. Receiving basic treatment: standardized quadruple anti-tuberculosis therapy is administered, with Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Ethambutol, and Pyrazinamide used for the first 2 months, followed by Rifampicin and Isoniazid for the next 4 months.

  • DrugYiqi Gubiao Pill placebo

    The placebo's appearance and content color are similar to that of Yiqi Gubiao Pill, with the main ingredients being starch and caramel. Take 10 pills orally each time, three times a day, after meals, for a continuous period of 12 weeks. Receiving basic treatment: standardized quadruple anti-tuberculosis therapy is administered, with Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Ethambutol, and Pyrazinamide used for the first 2 months, followed by Rifampicin and Isoniazid for the next 4 months.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Forced Vital Capacity

    Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) refers to the volume of air exhaled as quickly and forcefully as possible after taking the maximum inhalation.

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

  2. the percentage of FVC predicted

    The volume of air exhaled rapidly within one second after inhaling to the total lung capacity. Normal values are 70-85%, mild is less than 80% of the predicted value; moderate is less than 70% of the predicted value; moderately severe is less than 60% of the predicted value; severe is less than 50% of the predicted value.

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

  3. the ratio of FEV1 to FVC

    The ratio of FEV1 to FVC should be above 70%. If the ratio is below 70%, it may indicate the presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

  4. COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score

    The CAT score questionnaire is primarily used to assess the health status and impact on daily life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It quantifies the degree of health impairment in COPD patients by asking questions related to symptoms, activity ability, mental state, and social impact based on the patients' self-reports. The total score of the CAT questionnaire ranges from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating poorer health status and lower quality of life for the patients.

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

  5. modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) score

    The mMRC is only used for the assessment of dyspnea and is often applied in conjunction with the CAT score. An mMRC score of 2 or above is the threshold for distinguishing "mild dyspnea" from "severe dyspnea."

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

  6. Baseline Dyspnea Index (BDI) score

    It measures activity-related dyspnea from three dimensions: degree of functional impairment, amount of activity, and effort required to complete activities. Each dimension is graded on a 5-level scale, with scores ranging from 0 to 4, indicating increasing severity. The total score ranges from 0 to 12.

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

  7. Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI) score

    The TDI should be used in conjunction with the BDI to measure the extent of change in prognostic functional impairment, activity level, and effort required to complete activities. The TDI scores each dimension on a scale from significantly worse (-3) to significantly better (+3), with a total score ranging from -9 to +9.

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) symptom score

    The main symptoms and secondary symptoms are graded from mild to severe into 4 levels. The main symptoms are scored 0, 2, 4, 6 points respectively, and the secondary symptoms are scored 0, 1, 2, 3 points respectively. The tongue and pulse are not scored. The sum of the scores for all symptoms is the total TCM symptom score.

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

  2. alanine aminotransferase

    The reference range is 0-40 U/L.

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

  3. aspartate aminotransferase

    The reference range is 0-40 U/L.

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

  4. urea nitrogen

    Reference range value 3.2-7.1 mmol/L

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

  5. serum creatinine

    Reference range value: Males 53-106 μmol/L, Females 44-97 μmol/L

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

  6. uric acid

    Normal serum uric acid values: for adult males, 149-416 μmol/L; for adult females, 89-357 μmol/L.

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks
