Overview

Lung cancer has a high global cancer morbidity and mortality. At present, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have been approved by FDA to treat different types of lung cancer, but the efficacy is not good. There is an urgent need to develop drugs that can significantly enhance the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors to enable tumor patients to obtain lasting anti-tumor response. Centipeda minima (CM), as a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, is relatively safe. Previous studies found that it can inhibit the growth of lung cancer cells. At the level of animal research, the combined use of CM and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors produced a stronger anti-lung cancer effect, and did not produce obvious side effects on mice. Based on previous studies, the main purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1/PD-L inhibitors combined with herbivorous herbivores (CM) in the treatment of lung cancer.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

        Patients with non-small cell lung cancer diagnosed by histopathology and intended to be
        treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors alone meet the following conditions:
          1. Patients fully understand this study and voluntarily participate in and sign informed
             consent.
          2. Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) confirmed by histopathology will be
             treated with PD-1/PD-L1 alone.
          3. 18-70 years old, and the expected survival time is more than 6 months.
          4. The indexes of stool routine are normal.
        Exclusion Criteria:
          1. Patients who plan to receive other traditional Chinese medicine treatment at the same
             time during the study period.
          2. Those who are hypersensitive to any research drugs or ingredients
          3. Those who have severe acute infection and are not controlled; or those who have
             suppurative and chronic infection and whose wounds are not healed.
          4. Obvious gastrointestinal diseases during screening, such as inability to swallow,
             chronic diarrhea, intestinal obstruction, gastric ulcer and so on.
          5. Those who have participated in clinical trials of other drugs within 5 or 4 weeks.
          6. Patients with severe heart disease, including congestive heart failure, uncontrollable
             high-risk arrhythmias, unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, severe
             valvular heart disease and intractable hypertension.
          7. Suffering from uncontrollable neurological, mental illness or mental disorders, poor
             compliance, unable to cooperate and describe the treatment response. Primary brain
             tumor or central nervous system metastasis is not controlled, with obvious
             intracranial hypertension or neuropsychiatric symptoms.
          8. Those with bleeding tendency; evidence of hereditary hemorrhagic physique or blood
             coagulation disorder
          9. Severe allergic / allergic reaction to humanized antibody.
         10. Diagnosed with immunodeficiency or receiving systemic glucocorticoid therapy or any
             other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days prior to the first
             administration of the study, allowing the use of physiological doses of
             glucocorticoids (prednisone or equivalent for ≤ 10mg/ days).
         11. Exclude subjects with active, known or suspected autoimmune diseases (such as
             interstitial pneumonia, colitis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, nephritis,
             hypothyroidism, including but not limited to these diseases or syndromes).
         12. Vulnerable groups: such as patients with serious diseases, incapacitated, illiterate,
             mentally retarded / related mental disorders, children.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
