Brief Summary

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

This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules (Fei Re Qing Granules) in the treatment of elderly community-acquired pneumonia, establish a treatment protocol, and obtain high-level clinical evidence.

Detailed Description

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

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Fei Re Qing Granules for elderly community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) through a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Key elements of the trial include:

Design: Conducted across multiple centers, comparing treatment and placebo groups.

Participants: Patients aged 65-80 years diagnosed with CAP according to both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnostic criteria.

Intervention:

Test group: Fei Re Qing Granules administered alongside standard CAP treatments.

Control group: Placebo granules matching the appearance and composition of the active granules, plus standard treatments.

Outcomes:

Primary efficacy indicator: Time to clinical stability. Secondary indicators: Symptom improvement, hospital stay length, and imaging-based inflammation resolution.

TCM-specific indicators assess syndrome improvements and integrate modern scoring methods (e.g., CURB-65).

Study Duration: Two 7-day treatment cycles with 12-week follow-ups. This trial seeks to establish robust evidence for integrating Fei Re Qing Granules into TCM-based CAP management strategies
