Brief 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.

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.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
2-week treatment effectivenessParticipants will be followed for an expected average of 4 weeksAccording 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.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quality of life improvement valueThe quality of life improvement values were calculated each week during treatment, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after the end of treatment.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.
Pain relief rateParticipants will be followed for an expected average of 4 weeksPain 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%.
Drug discontinuation and dose reduction rateParticipants will be followed for an expected average of 4 weeksDrug 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.
