Brief Summary

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

This study evaluates the effect of the serum level of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Malondialdehyde (MDA), pro-inflammatory factors, stress hormones and Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX)in tumor patients with the treatment of Ganoderma lucidum spore based combination chemotherapy. Half of participants will receive Ganoderma lucidum spore and chemotherapy in combination, and the other half will receive a placebo and chemotherapy.

Study design: Phase 2. Experimental: Ganoderma lucidum spore \& Chemotherapy; Placebo Comparator: Placebo \& Chemotherapy.

Outcome Measure:

1. The life quality of participants was assessed with use of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) questionnaire at the initial diagnosis (baseline) and at 42 days after the treatment;
2. Investigators assessed Procedural mortality factor ligand 1(PD-L1)expression prospectively on tumour cells and tumour-infiltrating immune cells with the VENTANA PD-L1 immunohistochemistry assay;
3. National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria.

Statistical analysis: All experiment results were analyzed with Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) software (version 16.0). Data are presented as mean±standard deviation and analysed by one-way ANOVA. Semi-quantitative data were compared using the Kruskal- Wallis nonparametric analysis. The results were considered statistically significant at P\<0.05.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Ganoderma lucidum spore, as a natural substance is widely recognized and used in tumor patients for its nutritive value. The effect has proved that Ganoderma lucidum spore which has polysaccharide, triterpene compounds and the other trace elements, combined with chemotherapy can reduce toxicity and enhance efficacy in patients.

Ganoderma lucidum spore can reduce bone narrow depression, gastrointestinal mucosal damage and enhance the immunity. Previous studies have reported that Ganoderma lucidum spore have antivirus, antineoplastic, decreasing blood lipids, hypoglycemic and anti-hypoxic activities. The objective of this study is to observe the effect of Ganoderma lucidum spore based combination chemotherapy in treatment of patients. And then to detect the serum level of SOD, MDA, pro-inflammatory factors, stress hormones and GSH-PX.
