NCT03130192
Worldwide, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common causes of cancer mortality. Also, the first leading cause of death is lung cancer in Taiwan 2012. Most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages and their median survival with supportive care is only 3-6 months. The common regimens used on advanced NSCLC treatment consists of platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, the survival benefit of which is able to extend the survival to approximately 10 months. However, disease and treatment-related toxicities in cancer patients may result in fatigue and interfered quality of life (QoL). According to the others reports, eight QoL areas including physical functioning, fatigue, pain, and appetite loss have been showed a statistically significant association with survival rate of NSCLC patients. Cancer-related fatigue (CRF), an indicator of QoL, has been reported as the most frequent and distressing toxicity of lung cancer chemotherapy. Proposed criteria for CRF have been adopted for inclusion in the International Statistical Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM). Therefore, more in-depth researches on CRF are needed in Taiwan. In addition, electrolyte disturbance like hyponatremia has been reported to be counted as one of the many contributing factors for fatigue in palliative care patients and associated with poorer overall survival rate (OS) in lung cancer. Thus, the correlation between CRF and electrolyte possibly would be a strong link for physician to improve the QoL and survival rate of NSCLC patients. The objective of this observational study is to evaluate the correlation between CRF, survival and physiological factors in NSCLC patients under chemotherapy. The study will compare the effect of QoL and CRF on survival with or without CRF treatment and investigate the correlation between the variation of CRF and physiological factors which have been examined and recorded on medical record under clinical practice. These results will supply physicians with more understanding about CRF, and help them to enhance the quality on lung cancer care to being perfected in the future.
NCT04352088
This study aims to investigate immune mechanisms and phenotypes and endotypes of allergic airway diseases - allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma. Pathogenesis of these diseases are not fully investigated yet. Patients with the same disease have different dominant symptoms, course of the disease and response to treatment. Moreover, there is a hypothesis about united airway disease suggesting that allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma is different manifestation of the same disease. This led to assumption of phenotypes and endotypes. This classification which still is not unified can let to prescribe personalized treatment for every patient.
