Objectives of Study:
|
1. Main purpose
In patients with locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and distant metastasis who could not accept radical resection, the combination therapy was compared on the basis of comprehensive treatment
Objective to investigate the difference between shaliujunzi Decoction and placebo in improving quality of life and related TCM symptoms.
2. Secondary purpose
The overall survival and progression free survival (PFS) of the two groups were compared; the objective remission rate (ORR) of the two groups using RECIST standard was compared; the survival time of the two groups was compared
The safety of the protocol was evaluated.
3. Translational research
To clarify the difference of therapeutic effect between patients with spleen deficiency and qi stagnation and non spleen deficiency and qi stagnation, to identify the effect of different syndromes, to determine the target group of syndromes, and to detect the serum
MiRNA, analysis of expression profile changes and curative effect and prognosis, looking for effective treatment population markers, guiding clinical medication.
