PROJECTED ACCRUALA total of 30 patients (15 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 3 months.
Study Design OverviewPresent study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of Medicated Enema 30 ml./day before exetarnal radiation for Preventing or Reducing the Severity of radiotherapy-Induced bleeding P/R or Piles, skin reactions, constipation etc in Patients With Anal or colorectal Cancer, cervical cancer or any pelvic tumor.A fixed schedule of randomization will assign equal numbers of patients to each treatment arm.Eligible patients will take either modified Jatyadi oil enema before Radiotherapy or standard symptomatic treatment for side effects. Clinical and laboratory parameters will be assessed to evaluate disease response and tolerability of treatment
Arm I: Patients receive anyallopathic medicines when the start of bleeding P/R OR piles during Radiotherapy.Arm II: Patients receive Jatyadi oil enema for 20/days during Radiotherapy induced bleeding P/R or piles.
In both arms, treatment continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.Quality of life is assessed at baseline, at the completion of radiotherapy, and at 3 and 6 months from the start of chemotherapy.Patients are followed at 3 to 6 months from the start of chemotherapy.
Dosing SchedulesPatients will be randomized to one of two treatment arms:The Matra Basti i.e. enema treatment will be performed for 5 weeks along with chemotherapy, with follow-up observation for 1 month.During the study, patients will be divided in two equal groups.Group A will receive 30ML Medicated enema of Ayurvedic oil preparation consisting of modified Jatyadi Tail (oil) Group B will receive only the symptomatic aloapathy treatment.
Efficacy ParametersPrimary: Response rate and time to manage side effects of chemotherapy. Secondary: Response duration and patient survival.Effects of treatment on patients' quality of life measured by the EORTC QLQ
Safety ParametersQualitative tolerability and any quantitative toxicities of study medications will be evaluated. While there is no single universally fitting prescription for cancer treatment in Ayurveda, work of attentive physicians during the millennia has identified powerful anti-cancer herbs and wound healing herbs that have the potential of treating colorectal bleeding. These herbal medicinal can be successfully delivered through the oil enemas to the affected site. The oil itself serves both as a vehicle and as a medicinal treatment that promotes wound healing and re-sealing of the ruptured epithelial layer of the colon and rectum.
4 Clinical StudiesA Phase I study of modified Jatyadi oil enema along with Standard Radiotherapy in any pelvic tumor was conducted by the ACC in 20 patients. Of these patients, 14 patients had very less side effects of Radiotherapy in compare to other patients. The present treatment also improves the quality of the life of patient.These preclinical data suggest that Modified Jatyadi oil could be active even at any stages..
Exclusion CriteriaThe exclusion criteria for this study are: Known hypersensitivity to Radiotherapy. Patients with life threatning side effects.Unco-operative patients can be withdrowal from the study.
Outline of Study ProceeduresPatients will be screened prior to receiving study medication to determine eligibility for entry into the study. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive a Jatyadi oil enema 30 ml./day before exetarnal Radiotherapy in Pelvic area for 3 weeks.Patients will be evaluated every week..
Study EvaluationsThe following evaluations will be performed at every scheduled daily visit:Interim history.Complete physical examination including weight and performance status.Assessment of treatment tolerability/toxicity.The Quality of Life questionnaire, EORTC QL also should be completed at scheduled visits every week as long as the patient remains on study. Diagnostic imaging studies for complete disease/response assessment will be performed.
Diagnostic imaging studies for complete disease/response assessmentwill be performed.a specified study visits every month the investigator will record the current response for the patient, that is, complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), or progressive disease (PD). When possible, the same physician will evaluate the patient's response at each visit..
Follow-Up and Evaluation of Response/ResponseDurationAt the completion of the study for each patient the investigator will assess that patient's evaluability and characterize their best overall response by WHO criteria (Complete Response, Partial Response, Stable Disease or Progression). All patients will be followed at regular intervals .
Assessment Of Toxicity Gradereport the toxicity grade using the following criteria.Grade 1 = Mild, an adverse experience which is easily tolerated by the patient, causing minimal discomfort and not interfering with everyday activities.Grade 2 = Moderate, an adverse experience which is sufficiently discomforting to interfere with normal everyday activities.Grade 3 = Severe, an adverse experience which prevents normal everyday activities.Grade 4 = Life Threatening, an adverse experience which places the patient at immediate risk of death.
Outcomes Measurement and AnalysisQuality of life will be assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 (Version 2.0). The questionnaire consists of the items which assess the impact of the disease and of treatment on the patient's daily activities. The analysis of the quality of life data will comprise comparisons of the change in scores over time (longitudinal change) and overall QOL scores for each of the two treatment groups
Administrative MattersTo comply with Good Clinical Practice, important administrative obligations relating to investigator responsibilities, monitoring, archiving data, audits, confidentiality and publications must be fulfilled.
