Brief Summary

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

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a major polyphenol of green tea that possesses a wide variety of actions, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, pro-apoptotic, anti-tumorous, and metabolic effects via modulation of a variety of intracellular signaling cascades. In addition, preclinical studies have also emphasized the antiviral activity of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), including SARS-CoV-2.

In previous studies, we found that EGCG can prevent and cure radiation-induced normal tissue damage in tumor patients. In clinical studies, we found that EGCG can prevent and treat radiation-induced acute radiation esophagitis, acute radiation skin injury, acute radiation oral mucositis with high safety. Thus, we designed this phase I-II clinical study in order to investigate the possible role of EGCG in the treatment interstitial pneumonia in tumor patients.

Detailed Description

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

In this phase I study, subjects were divided into four dose groups according to the improved Fibonacci method and were given different doses of EGCG to evaluate adverse events. At the same time, the researchers conducted a phase II study of EGCG in tumor patients with interstitial pneumonia. The Phase II study was conducted with a randomized, controlled, placebo dose determined by Phase I. the subjects were divided into two groups (experimental group and placebo group). To observe the effectiveness of EGCG, the researchers will use both clinician assessment and patient self-assessment.

Study Groups

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

EGCG(Epigallocatechin-3-gallate )

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) (high pressure liquid chromatographic purity ≥ 95%; from Ningbo Hepu Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) is dissolved in 0.9% normal saline; 10ml is inhaled by atomization three times a day. From the beginning of the diagnosis and 7 days after the signing of the informed consent form, the medication can be continued according to the wishes of the patients, but the total medication time is not more than 14 days.
