Deep-sea Fish Oil for Prevention of Acute Radiation-induced Esophagitis

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose：To observe and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of deep-sea fish oil in preventing acute radiation-induced esophagitis (ARIE). Methods and Materials：A total of 120 patients with esophageal cancer treated with radiotherapy were randomly assigned (1:1) to treatment or control group. In the treatment group, 1g deep-sea fish oil was oral administrated prophylactically twice a day，the control group was blank control. The clinical efficacy of deep-sea fish oil on prevention of ARIE was evaluated by comparing the differences in the occurrence time, the grade and incidence of ARIE. Additionally, the change in nutritional status was also investigated. Hemanalysis, liver function, kidney function changes， and adverse reactions were compared before and after treatment to evaluate the safety of deep-sea fish oil.

Clinical Trial Description

Radiotherapy is an important treatment for esophageal cancer, and acute radiation-induced esophagitis (ARIE) is the most common complication during radiotherapy. The present study was conducted to investigate the clinical efficacy of deep-sea fish oil in the prevention and treatment of ARIE, and to evaluate the effects of deep-sea fish oil on patients' nutritional status, quality of life, pain management, and the effect on the treatment. This is a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled clinical study. The present study has been registered in the Chinese Clinical Trials Registry (ChiCTR2200056847). The present study intends to continuously enroll 120 patients with esophageal cancer who are to receive radiotherapy, and randomly divide the enrolled patients into two groups. One group receive treatment of deep-sea fish oil and the other group is blank control. The differences of ARIE occurrence, ARIE degree, pain degree, and the changes of the inflammatory index were compared. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
