Brief summary
Background The ReDO protocol is an abbreviation for ‘Repurposing Drugs in Oncology’, which is an ongoing worldwide project to find off-patent drugs that have anti-cancer effects. The ReDO protocol consists of multiple medication and nutrients, which are already approved by the FDA and TGA and have been used individually clinically for decades for a variety of clinical conditions. The Study This trial will be one of a number of clinical trials around the world to use a combination of medications and supplements to see if the ReDO protocol has any effects on cancer status. Each trial uses their own unique combination of medication and nutrients. This trial will use a combination of 19 medication and nutrients. Cancer status is measured by Circulating Tumour Cells (CTC) found in the blood, other cancer markers and standard diagnostic tools such as imaging. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are an adult who has been diagnosed with any cancer, and are able to come to the Willow Vale Clinic at the Gold Coast in QLD. Study details All participants in this study will be asked to commence use of 19 medications/supplements, one at at time, over a period of two months. Once participants have successfully used all medications/supplements, they will continue to take these for three to six months. Throughout this time, participants will be followed up via blood tests, scans, and questionnaires to monitor side effects, cancer status and quality of life. It is hoped that this study will systematically investigate the effectiveness of the updated ReDO protocol, consisting of 19 medication and nutrients, on cancer cell count, a biomarker for cancer status togather with other standard diagnostic tests.
