Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
weight loss
Time Frame: 1 month after chemoradiotherapy
Differences in the proportion of patients who lost >10% of their body weight at 1 month after chemoradiotherapy between experimental and control groups
1 month after chemoradiotherapy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
weight loss >10%
Time Frame: at the end of chemoradiotherapy
Differences in the proportion of patients who lost >10% of their body weight at the end of chemoradiotherapy between experimental and control groups
at the end of chemoradiotherapy
weight loss >20%
Time Frame: at the end of chemoradiotherapy
Differences in the proportion of patients who lost >20% of their body weight at the end of chemoradiotherapy between experimental and control groups
at the end of chemoradiotherapy
ncidence rate of adverse events (AEs)
Time Frame: at the end of chemoradiotherapy
Analysis of acute and late adverse events (AEs) are evaluated. Numbers of patients of treatment-related adverse events(acute toxicity) as assessed by CTCAE v5.0.Numbers of patients of late radiation toxicities were assessed using the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer late radiation morbidity scoring scheme.
at the end of chemoradiotherapy
change of PG-SGA
Time Frame: 1 month after chemoradiotherapy
Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA).It consists of two parts: the patient's self-assessment part and the medical staff's assessment part. The specific contents include seven aspects, including body weight, food intake, symptoms, activity and physical function, the relationship between disease and nutritional needs, metabolic needs, and physical examination. The first 4 Each aspect is evaluated by the patient himself, and the last three aspects are evaluated by the medical staff. The overall evaluation includes qualitative evaluation and quantitative evaluation.
1 month after chemoradiotherapy
change of NRS2002
Time Frame: 1 month after chemoradiotherapy
The outstanding advantage of NRS2002 is that it can predict the risk of malnutrition, and can proactively and dynamically judge the changes in the nutritional status of patients, which is convenient for timely feedback of the nutritional status of patients, and provides evidence for adjusting nutritional support programs. It is a better nutritional risk screening tool.
