Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Imaging efficacy evaluation

    Clinical response Based on the Response Evaluation Criteria Solid Tumors (RECIST), the therapeutic effect was divided into complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), progressive disease (PD). Investigators calculate the sum of the longest diameter of the target lesions from each patient by CT or MRI.

    before and 8 week after treatment

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Observing the expression of lymphocyte subsets

    before , the fourth and the seventh weeks of treatment

  • Observing the expression of inflammatory factors

    before , the fourth and the seventh weeks of treatment

  • Nutritional assessment

    before , the fourth and the seventh weeks of treatment

Other Outcomes (6)

  • Multidimensional deficient power assessment

    before , the fourth and the seventh weeks of treatment

  • Quality of life assessment

    before , the fourth and the seventh weeks of treatment

  • Prognostic assessment

    before , the fourth and the seventh weeks of treatment

  • +3 more other outcomes

Interventions

According to the NCCN Guidelines

chemotherapy group

The thalidomide and megestrol acetate administration groups were administered with thalidomide 100 mg qn po and megestrol acetate 0.16 qd po for 8 weeks

chemotherapy combined with TH and MG group

Patients who cannot tolerate chemotherapy and other cancer treatments receive optimal support for 8 weeks

the best supportive treatment group

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with advanced malignant tumor confirmed by histopathology or cytology (hepatocarcinoma can be clinical diagnosis)
  • Must be able to swallow pills
  • The age of the tester ≥ 18 years old
  • Gender is not limited
  • Kamofsky score \> 20 points
  • Estimated survival period ≥ 2 months
  • Childbearing age Women need negative pregnancy test
  • Patients voluntarily sign informed consent and receive follow-up
  • The tester can cooperate to observe adverse events and efficacy
  • All of the above conditions can be included

You may not qualify if:

  • Active upper digestive tract ulcers, obvious vomiting, chronic diarrhea, intestinal obstruction, malabsorption, etc; other patients have been known to affect drug absorption, distribution, metabolism or clearance
  • or more important organ dysfunction
  • Thrombosis Embolism history, except for thrombosis caused by PICC
  • Patients suspected of having a history of allergy to thalidomide tablets
  • Any significant clinical and laboratory abnormalities that researchers believe affect safety evaluators, such as: uncontrollable activity Microbial infection, grade II or above peripheral neuropathy (NCI CTC AE v4.0), congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within 6 months, chronic kidney disease, thyroid dysfunction etc, and acceptance may bring significant metabolic or weight changes Patients with clinical disposition
  • Patients with mental disorders, affecting the efficacy of the assessor
  • During the trial period and within 3 months after the end of the trial, the subject and his partner are not willing to contraception
  • Any of the above can not be enrolled.

Model Details: 200 patients with advanced tumors with a predicted survival period of ≥2 months were selected, including 100 patients with chemotherapy indications (50 patients were divided into chemotherapy group and 50 patients were divided into chemotherapy combined with TH and MG group according to the random principle) and 100 patients without chemotherapy indications (50 patients were randomly divided into the best supportive treatment group and 50 patients were randomly divided into the best supportive treatment group with TH and MG according to the random principle). The chemotherapy alone group and the best supportive treatment group were the control group. The thalidomide and megestrol acetate administration groups were administered with thalidomide 100 mg qn po and megestrol acetate 0.16 qd po for 8 weeks.
