Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study is a randomized, controlled, open-label prospective clinical study. This study adopts an optimal design, with the main evaluation indicator being the incidence of cardiac toxicity. Patients who passed the inclusion and exclusion criteria through clinical research were randomly assigned to the experimental group and control group. Experimental(treatment)group: received preventive treatment with Shengmai Powder，and may also receive additional Chinese medicines based on the doctor's judgment and the patient's condition.Control group: during chemotherapy and trastuzumab administration, no Chinese medicine with ginseng, ophiopogon japonicus and schisandra chinensis as ingredients or western medicine with heart strengthening or heart protection function were used. During the treatment process, cardiac function related indicators such as symptomatic congestive heart failure or asymptomatic but decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) are evaluated to determine the occurrence of cardiac toxicity.

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

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

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
The incidence of cardiotoxicity in the treatment group and control group
Time Frame: From 1 week before enrollment to 1.5 years after the start of trastuzumab treatment.
Calculate the incidence of cardiotoxicity associated with anthracycline sequential trastuzumab treatment of two groups.Cardiotoxicity is defined as the occurrence of symptomatic congestive heart failure, or a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) without clinical symptoms that meets one of the following conditions: ① a decrease of ≥ 15% in LVEF from baseline after anti-cancer treatment; ② After anti-cancer treatment, LVEF decreased by ≥ 10% from baseline and the monitoring value was<50%; ③ LVEF monitoring value after anti-cancer treatment is less than 45%. The definition of symptomatic congestive heart failure includes but is not limited to any one or more of the following: moist rales in the lungs, anterior tibial edema in both lower limbs, and cyanosis of the lips.
From 1 week before enrollment to 1.5 years after the start of trastuzumab treatment.

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 incidence of adverse events in the treatment group and control group, except for cardiotoxicity
Time Frame: From the use of anthracycline drugs or Shengmai San to 1.5 years after the start of trastuzumab treatment.
Using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTC AE) version 5.0, evaluate the adverse events and toxic reactions of the two groups, except for cardiotoxicity, to determine the incidence rate.
From the use of anthracycline drugs or Shengmai San to 1.5 years after the start of trastuzumab treatment.
