Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Carcinoma is the leading cause of worldwide. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second cause of cancer mortality in Taiwan. Vitamin B-6 and coenzyme Q10 has been recognized as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients in recent clinical studies. The purposes of this study are going to investigate the relation of vitamin B-6 and coenzyme Q10 with the indicators of oxidative stress, antioxidant enzymes activities and the inflammatory markers in patients with stage 1 and stage 2 HCC. The study is designed as an intervention study. The investigators will recruit HCC patients with stage 1 and stage 2 (n = 150) who are identified by liver biopsy. HCC subjects are randomly assign to placebo, vitamin B-6 (50 mg/d), coenzyme Q10 (300 mg/d), and vitamin B-6 plus coenzyme Q10 supplements groups. Intervention is going to administration for three months. The concentrations of vitamin B-6, coenzyme Q10, oxidative stress indicators, antioxidant enzymes activities, antioxidant vitamins (vitamin A and E), and inflammatory markers are going to be analyzed. The results would provide more information nutrients for clinical physicians and dietitians for considering suggesting patients with HCC using vitamin B-6 or coenzyme Q10 supplementation to improve their clinical outcomes.
