Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial\]is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and feasibility of radiotherapy combined with Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula(An oral arsenic agent)in the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma in children. Including the occurrence of adverse events and the improvement of quality of life.

Study Groups

Experimental arm: Radiotherapy, Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Realgar-Indigo Naturalis Formulation

Intervention Type DRUG

Radiotherapy: after 4 courses of chemotherapy, radiotherapy was started 13 weeks later. The radiotherapy was performed by three-dimensional conformal intensity modulated radiation (IMRT) technique with a dose of 45-50.4 grey, and radiotherapy was performed 5 times per week for 5-6 weeks.

Oral administration of Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula from 1 week before radiotherapy to the whole radiotherapy period.

Dosage: oral, according to body weight, 3 times a day.Because the patient constitution is different, may first start from the half dose, within 3 days gradually increases the dose.In this study, the dosage of Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula (250mg per tablet) was determined according to the patient's weight stage.In each body weight segment, 60 mg/kg realgar-indigo naturalis formula were given according to the upper limit of body weight
