Oncoxin® and Quality of Life in Cancer Patients

June 3, 2019 updated by: Catalysis SL

ONCOXIN® and Quality of Life in Cancer Patients in a Real World Setting Study

It is expected that additional support with certain micronutrients may improve prognosis, decrease the frequency of side effects and complications and maintain high relative dose intensity of anticancer treatments. Food supplement ONCOXIN (ONCX) contains amino acids, vitamins, minerals and biologically active substances of natural origin with high immunostimulatory and antioxidant activity. Present study is a real world experience study intended to evaluate the efficacy of ONCX in cancer patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The study was conducted at 9 centers across the Russia and Kazakhstan. Patients were allocated in 2:1 comparison groups for the ONCX and control groups, respectively. A total of 133 patients were enrolled in the study; 84 in the ONCX group and 49 as controls.

ONCX contains microelements, vitamins, amino acids and certain naturally occurring, biologically active substances.

It is expected that additional support with certain micronutrients may improve prognosis, decrease the frequency of side effects and complications and maintain the Quality of life in cancer patients.

  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Control
Experimental: Oncoxin®
Adjuvant chemotherapy regimen (XELOX or paclitaxel+carboplatin) + Oncoxin 25 ml twice daily for 20 days. In case of nausea/vomiting after ONCX use patients were advised to dilute it in water, juice or milk. Patients with BMI <20 and serum albumin levels <30 g/l received nutritional support.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Quality of life improvement
Time Frame: 20 days
The proportion of patients who had an improvement in the QoL corresponding to the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) that any patient was able to feel at Visits 2 in total SDS ESAS (6 points within patient change for improvement)
20 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Emotional Quality of life
Time Frame: 20 days
emotional SDS ESAS domains
20 days
Toxicity produced by Chemotherapy
Time Frame: 20 days
Common toxicity criteria NCI-CTC. Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (AE) is a descriptive terminology which can be utilized for Adverse Event reporting. A grading (severity) scale is provided for each AE term.
20 days
Toxicity produced by Chemotherapy
Time Frame: 20 days
Body Mass Index (BMI) combined with albumin. High body mass index (BMI) has been inconsistently associated with overall survival. Preoperative body mass index, blood albumin and triglycerides predict survival for patients with gastric cancer.
20 days
Physical Quality of Life
Time Frame: 20 days
Physical SDS ESAS scores
20 days
Nutritional level
Time Frame: 20 days
Serum albumin level measures
