Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In order to verify the influence of juzentaihoto on solid cancer-affecting patients' NK cell function, juzentaihoto is administered to patients diagnosed as having indication for it after cancer incidence. NK cell function, NRS (Numerical Rating Scale) of fatigue and PS (performance status) after oral administration are examined. Then, we will study the correlation between the fatigue improvement effect of juzentaihoto and NK cell activity.

Results

Efficacy
Within the constraints of a small, non-randomized cohort without placebo administration, Juzentaihoto was suggested to selectively modulate Fas-mediated lymphocyte apoptosis without promoting tumor immune evasion.

Safety
Juzentaihoto is an already approved Kampo medicine. No serious adverse events occurred in this trial, confirming its safety.

Participant flow

To evaluate the effects of Juzentaihoto (JTT) on NK-cell phenotypes, peripheral blood
samples from ten cancer patients and ten healthy volunteers were analyzed at baseline (Day
0) and after 14 days of JTT treatment. Flow cytometry was used to assess NK-cell subsets
(CD56 dim and CD56 bright) and surface expression of activation and adhesion markers.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

Clinical study: For flow cytometry data, the expression levels of immune markers (e.g., CD95, CD161, NKp46) before and after treatment were compared using two-tailed paired t-tests.
