Effects of Immunonutrition on the Improvement of Postoperative Adjuvant Chemotherapy Related Adverse Reactions in Patients With Gastrointestinal Tumors

October 13, 2023 updated by: Yunpeng Liu, China Medical University, China

A Multicenter, Open-label, Parallel Controlled, Prospective Cohort Study Evaluating Immunonutrition on the Improvement of Postoperative Adjuvant Chemotherapy Related Adverse Reactions in Patients With Gastrointestinal Tumors

Evaluate the effects of Suyusu (immunonutrition) in postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for gastrointestinal cancer patients. The main endpoint of the study was the incidence of chemotherapy related adverse reactions (including bone marrow suppression, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and mucositis) in patients after two cycles of chemotherapy. The secondary endpoint indicators were: quality of life score (EORTC-QLQ-C30), nutritional risk score (PG-SGA, NRS2002), nutritional assessment indicators, changes in immune microenvironment, analysis of psychological status, survival time (1-year progression free survival rate), treatment tolerance (dose intensity, rate of treatment interruption, delay), etc.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
the incidence of chemotherapy related adverse reactions
Time Frame: the first two cycles of chemotherapy. (each cycle is 21 ± 3 days)
including bone marrow suppression, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and mucositis and so on.
the first two cycles of chemotherapy. (each cycle is 21 ± 3 days)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
quality of life score
Time Frame: the first two cycles of chemotherapy. (each cycle is 21 ± 3 days)
EORTC(The European Organization for Reasearch and Treatment of Cancer)-QOL-C30 (Quality of Life Questionnare-Core 30), patients need to answer all the questions by circling the number (1,2,3,4), big number means the worse quality of life score
the first two cycles of chemotherapy. (each cycle is 21 ± 3 days)
nutritional risk score
Time Frame: the first two cycles of chemotherapy. (each cycle is 21 days)
(PG-SGA) the patient-generated subjective global assessment. The result (A means well-nourished, B means middling-cacotrophia, C means severe malnutrition). Nutritional risk Screening Form 2002 (NRS2002), score ≥3 means patients with nutritional risk, score <3 patients with no nutritional risk. We use the two methods to evaluate the nutritional risk score.
the first two cycles of chemotherapy. (each cycle is 21 days)
changes in immune microenvironment
Time Frame: the first two cycles of chemotherapy. (each cycle is 21 ± 3 days)
cytokines (pg/ml)
the first two cycles of chemotherapy. (each cycle is 21 ± 3 days)
survival time
Time Frame: 1-year
1-year progression free survival rate
1-year
treatment tolerance
Time Frame: the first two cycles of chemotherapy. (each cycle is 21 ± 3 days)
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0
the first two cycles of chemotherapy. (each cycle is 21 ± 3 days)
changes in immune microenvironment
Time Frame: the first two cycles of chemotherapy. (each cycle is 21 ± 3 days)
Intestinal flora changes
the first two cycles of chemotherapy. (each cycle is 21 ± 3 days)
