摘要

Abstract

Objective:

To evaluate whether low-frequency ultrasound-facilitated transdermal delivery of a Chinese medicine (CM) formula could improve the efficacy of intrapleural administration of interleukin-2 (IL-2) in treatment of malignant pleural effusion (MPE).

Methods:

A total of 110 eligible participants were randomized into the low-frequency sonophoresis (LFS) of CM (LSF/CM) group (55 cases) and the control group (55 cases) by simple randomization using a random number table. The control group was treated with an intrapleural administration of IL-2; and the LFS/CM group was treated with LFS of a CM gel formulation

combined with the same IL-2 injection as in the control group. The CM formula consisted of

Semen Lepidii

Semen Sinapis

Ramulus Cinnamomi

Poriacocos

Herba Lycopi

and

Radix Paeoniae Rubra

. After 2-week treatment

the therapeutic outcome was determined by the change of the amount of MPE

which was evaluated by B-scan ultrasound and/or chest X-ray

and the change of quality of life (QOL) scores

which were evaluated by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status.

Results:

A significantly higher objective remission rate (ORR) was obtained with intrapleural IL-2 plus LFS/CM than IL-2 treatment alone (

=0.049). In addition

more patients in the LFS/CM group than in the control group had an improved QOL score (

=0.048)

and no patients in the LFS/CM group had a reduced QOL.

Conclusion:

LFS of CM formulation could effectively alleviate MPE and improve the QOL of cancer patients.
