Effect of Fufang E'Jiao Jiang on Hierarchical Composite Clinical Benefit and Health-related Quality of Life in ICU Survivors After ICU Discharge: a Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial (LIFT)

2026년 11월 9일 업데이트: Tan Liang, Third Military Medical University

This study aims to evaluate the effects of Fufang E'jiao Jiang on clinical outcomes, health-related quality of life, and functional recovery in survivors of critical illness following intensive care unit (ICU) discharge.This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will enroll 246 participants who will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Fufang E'jiao Jiang or matching placebo. Participants will receive 20 mL orally three times daily for 90 days, alongside standard post-ICU rehabilitation and supportive care.The primary outcome is a prespecified hierarchical composite endpoint assessed within 90 days after randomization and analyzed using the win ratio method. The components are evaluated in the following order of clinical priority: (1) all-cause mortality within 90 days; (2) unplanned all-cause readmission within 90 days; and (3) change from baseline in the EQ-5D-5L utility index at day 90. Secondary outcomes include exercise tolerance, frailty, cognitive function, fatigue, anxiety and depression, sleep quality assessed by wrist actigraphy and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), appetite, handgrip strength, body composition, and selected biochemical, hematologic, and iron metabolism-related indicators. The trial aims to provide clinical evidence regarding the potential role of Fufang E'jiao Jiang in supporting recovery and improving health-related outcomes among survivors of critical illness after ICU discharge.

상세 설명

Post-intensive care syndrome is common among survivors of critical illness and is associated with impaired physical function, cognitive dysfunction, psychological symptoms, reduced quality of life, and increased health care utilization after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge. Current post-ICU rehabilitation strategies remain limited, and effective pharmacologic interventions are lacking. Fufang E'jiao Jiang is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation that has been used to improve fatigue, nutritional status, and functional recovery in relevant clinical settings. Based on its traditional indications and existing pharmacologic evidence, it may have potential value in supporting recovery among survivors of critical illness after ICU discharge. This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fufang E'jiao Jiang in adult survivors of critical illness after ICU discharge. A total of 246 participants will be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Fufang E'jiao Jiang or matching placebo. Study treatment will begin after ICU discharge once enteral nutrition has been initiated. Participants in both groups will receive standard post-ICU rehabilitation and supportive care. The investigational group will receive Fufang E'jiao Jiang, 20 mL orally three times daily for 90 consecutive days. The control group will receive a matching placebo with the same dosing schedule, appearance, packaging, color, and taste but without the active ingredients of Fufang E'jiao Jiang. The primary outcome is a prespecified hierarchical composite endpoint evaluated within 90 days after randomization and analyzed using the win ratio method. The components will be compared sequentially according to their predefined clinical priority: (1) all-cause mortality within 90 days after randomization; (2) unplanned all-cause readmission within 90 days after randomization; and (3) change from baseline in the EQ-5D-5L utility index at day 90, using a prespecified clinically meaningful threshold. The primary treatment effect will be summarized using a single win ratio. Secondary outcomes will assess multiple domains of post-ICU recovery, including physical function, frailty, cognitive function, fatigue, psychological health, sleep quality, appetite, nutritional status, body composition, and selected laboratory indicators. Physical and functional assessments will include the 6-minute walk test distance, Clinical Frailty Scale score, Montreal Cognitive Assessment score, Fatigue Severity Scale score, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score, and handgrip strength. Sleep-related outcomes will be assessed using both objective and subjective measurements. Objective sleep parameters, including total sleep time, sleep efficiency, and wake after sleep onset, will be recorded using a wearable sleep wristband (actigraphy). Subjective sleep quality will be evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Body composition will be assessed using the Nutrilab body composition analysis system. The assessed parameters will include body fat percentage, fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, and fat-free mass. Biochemical and hematologic assessments will include hemoglobin concentration, albumin, prealbumin, C-reactive protein, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, red blood cell count, absolute lymphocyte count, and white blood cell count. Hemoglobin concentration and blood cell counts will be assessed using whole-blood hematological analysis. The percentage of HLA-DR-positive monocytes will be assessed in peripheral blood using flow cytometry. Additional hematologic and iron metabolism-related assessments will include absolute reticulocyte count, reticulocyte hemoglobin content (RET-He or CHr), serum ferritin concentration, and transferrin saturation (TSAT). TSAT will be calculated using serum iron concentration and total iron-binding capacity, with the latter measured directly or derived from transferrin concentration using a validated laboratory method. Plasma growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) concentration will also be assessed. Sleep quality and body composition will be evaluated at baseline, day 30, and day 90 after randomization. The selected biochemical, hematologic, and iron metabolism-related indicators will be assessed at baseline and day 90 after randomization. The trial is intended to generate clinical evidence regarding the role of Fufang E'jiao Jiang in supporting functional recovery, health-related quality of life, and selected hematologic, nutritional, and metabolic outcomes among survivors of critical illness after ICU discharge.

Win Ratio for the 90-Day Hierarchical Composite Outcome
기간: From randomization through day 90

The primary outcome is a single prespecified hierarchical composite endpoint analyzed using the win ratio method. Participants from the two randomized groups will be compared pairwise according to the following clinical priority hierarchy: (1) all-cause mortality within 90 days after randomization; (2) unplanned all-cause readmission within 90 days after randomization; and (3) change from baseline in the EQ-5D-5L utility index at day 90. Comparisons will proceed to the next component when no winner is determined at the preceding level. The primary treatment effect will be expressed as a single win ratio, calculated as the ratio of winning to losing pairs. The three components constitute one hierarchical composite endpoint rather than three separate primary outcome measures.
