Clinical Trial Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination treatment of Huaier granule and biliary drainage for malignant obstructive jaundice.

Description:

After sign the informed consent, the, eligible patients are those who have completed the examinations within 2 weeks after the biliary drainage will enter the study and visit the study sites at Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 48. The follow-up duration is up to 48 weeks or until the death of patient during the study. The patients will be allocated to two groups based on whether being exposed to Huaier granule or not.

Study data will be collected prospectively, including the patients' baseline characteristics, chemo-/radio-therapy history, previous Huaier granule treatment, laboratory tests, imaging examinations, and various clinical endpoints including liver function, quality of life, status of survival, and safety.

This is a non-interventional study in patient population in real world. Therefore, the patients' treatment regimen will not be interfered, i.e., the patients will independently decide whether to take Huaier granule or not based on the recommendation from the clinician after the drainage. The patients will be allocated into different groups completely according to their treatment at clinic in real world. During the study, only the study required data and endpoints will be collected.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Overall survival	the time interval between baseline and the time of death due to any cause	every 12 weeks until death, up to 48 weeks
Secondary	overall survival rate	Overall survival rate at 48 weeks was defined as the proportion of patients who were alive at 48 weeks	48 weeks
Secondary	Median survival time (MST)	indicate the survival time when only 50% of patients are still alive.	48 weeks
Secondary	Karnofsky (KPS) score	improved is defined as KPS increases >10 after treatment; worsen is defined as KPS decreases >10; stable is defined as KPS changes =10.	48 weeks
Secondary	Liver function 1	Measurement of direct bilirubin	12?24?36?48 weeks
Secondary	Liver function 2	Measurement of total bilirubin	12?24?36?48 weeks
Secondary	Liver function 3	the time of reoccurrence of jaundice.	12?24?36?48 weeks
Secondary	Quality of Life (QoL) score	Quality of Life (QOL) were measured using supplemental quality of life questions. Item score range(12 items): 1(worst symptom) to 5 (no symptom). Change: score at 48 weeks minus score at baseline.	48 weeks
