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.

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
Liver-to-spleen CT ratio
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Clinical recovery: liver/spleen CT ratio ≥ 1; Obvious effect: liver/spleen CT ratio decreased by 2 grades (severe → mild); Effective: Liver/spleen CT ratio decreased by 1 grade (severe → moderate, or moderate → mild) :+ Ineffective: liver/spleen CT ratio did not change or even increased.
12 weeks

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
The reduction of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome integral
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Clinical recovery: syndrome integral decreased ≥ 95%; Obvious Effective:70%≤the reduction of syndrome integral <95%; Effective :30%≤the reduction of syndrome score <70%; Ineffective: less than 30% reduction in syndrome integral. note: The reduction of TCM syndrome integral (%) = (Pre-treatment integral - post-treatment integral)/Pre-treatment integralx 100%
12 weeks
the reduction of ALT
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Clinical control: Liver enzymology (ALT) returned to normal; + Obvious effect: liver enzyme (ALT) index decreased by ≥50%; Effective: Liver enzyme (ALT) index decreased <50% but≥ 30%; Ineffective: Liver enzyme (ALT) index decreased <30%。
12 weeks
the reduction of blood lipid index
Time Frame: 12 weeks
blood lipid index including TC、TG、and HDL-C
