Brief Summary

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

A 13 weeks randomized, double-blind and placebo parallel-controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Zhizhu Kuanzhong Capsule in the treatment of functional dyspepsia-postprandial distress syndrome.

Detailed Description

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

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo parallel-controlled International clinical trial of Zhizhu Kuanzhong Capsule in treating patients with Functional Dyspepsia-Postprandial Distress Syndrome (FD-PDS).

In this study, Hong Kong Baptist University will collaborate with Xiyuan Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, and will be recruiting 60 FD-PDS patients as study subjects in Hong Kong, out of the total sample size of 480 patients.

The study includes a 1 week run-in period, 8 weeks double-blind treatment period and a 4 weeks of follow up period for each eligible subject. Eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to either the trial drug or the placebo.

6 follow-up visits and 1 telephone follow-up will be scheduled for each subject on the -7 days (visit 1), enrollment on day 0 (visit 2), 14th day (visit 3), 28th day (visit 4), 42nd day (visit 5, telephone follow-up), the 56th day (visit 6) and the 84th day (visit 7) respectively.

Urine, stool and blood samples will be collected from each subject on visit 2 and visit 6 for blood, urine, stool, liver and kidney function tests.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Investigational Drug Group

A 8-weeks double-blind treatment period with a Proprietary Chinese Medicine (consists of 4 kinds of Chinese herbs at 0.43g/capsule in weight), 3 capsules at one time, 3 times a day, oral administration 10-15 minutes before meals

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Investigational drug for Functional Dyspepsia-Postprandial Distress Syndrome

Intervention Type DRUG

The investigational drug is a new pure type of gastrointestinal function modulator traditional Chinese medicine, composed of 4 kinds of Chinese herbs: Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, Fructus Aurantii Immaturus, Radix Bupleuri and Fructus Crataegi. The preliminary clinical trial showed that it has a good therapeutic effect on FD patients, its Fructus Aurantii Immaturus promotes gastric emptying by stimulating the cells to release motilin, thereby significantly improving patients' symptoms of fullness, epigastric pain, eructation, and nausea and vomiting.

Placebo Group

A 8-weeks double-blind treatment period with Placebo Capsules (at 0.43g/capsule in weight), 3 capsules at one time, 3 times a day, oral administration 10-15 minutes before meals

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo capsules

Intervention Type DRUG

The placebo consist of mainly starch and microcrystalline cellulose, the usage and dosage are the same as the investigational drug.
