Brief Summary

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

The investigators conduct this phase II study to evaluate safety and effectiveness of EGCG in patients with dysphagia. Swallowing-related dysphagia and pain scores were recorded using the numerical rating scale (NRS) daily . Barium meal radiography was utilized to measure the luminal size and the length of the lesion area both before and after a week of EGCG treatment. The scales are translated into Chinese and guides in Chinese are developed instructing how to use the scales and perform the assessments.

Study Groups

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

EGCG ARM

Studies investigating EGCG (purity 95% by high-performance liquid chromatography, obtained from Zhejiang Ningbo HEP Biotech Co., Ltd.) utilized a concentration of 4400 umol/L dissolved in 0.9% saline solution, which is administered three times a day for 1 week. Freshly prepared each time, the EGCG was administered 10 minutes before meals. The repeated slow swallowing of 30 ml of the EGCG solution was essential to ensure sustained contact of the drug on the esophageal walls
