    edian overall survival (OS) time.11,12 In accordance with therevious standard treatment modalities, first-line chemotherapyhould be administered for no more than six cycles in advancedSCLC patients, and after documented disease control,9 patients areept waiting and under observation13 to restore their performancetatus (PS) and immune system. If there is disease progression,atients are recommended a second-line treatment. However, theecond-line chemotherapy has lower efficiency, short-term remis-ion, and quicker disease progression.14 In addition, approximately0–80% of patients have no opportunity to receive second-linehemotherapy.15

    Maintenance therapy has emerged in recent years as a novelherapeutic paradigm for advanced NSCLC that aims to sustain alinically favorable state after first-line chemotherapy. It refers toontinued use of the drug treatment until disease progression orhe occurrence of intolerable adverse events (AEs) if there is a sta-le disease (SD) or better response after completion of the first-linehemotherapy. The theoretical foundation of the therapy originatesrom the Goldie–Coldman theory,16 which states that resistant andlowly growing cancer cells remain after first-line chemotherapy,hich has primarily killed the sensitive and rapidly proliferating

    ells. Use of different non-cross-resistant chemotherapy regimenss effective in eradicating the remaining resistant cancer cells. Inecent years, there are a number of clinical studies on mainte-ance therapy, which has been shown to have a potential benefit inrolonging PFS.17–21 The National Comprehensive Cancer NetworkNCCN) version 2.2013 recommends several cytotoxic agents andarget agents for use in maintenance therapy.15 However, carefulonsideration of maintenance therapy is still required, and the fol-owing should be noted: one of the major goals of maintenanceherapy is increasing the quality of life (QOL), but most studiesave not evaluated the QOL; the selection of maintenance ther-py depends on histologic type, PS, genetic alternations and otheractors, indicating that only some patients can benefit from it; con-inuing cytotoxic agents will result in cumulative toxicity, damagemmune function, lower QOL and increase the risk of drug resis-ance; and the prices of chemotherapy and targeted drugs are veryigh such that a proportion of patients cannot afford them, espe-ially in a developing country. Therefore, the current maintenanceherapy in advanced NSCLC still excites debates and requires forurther research, which presents opportunities for Chinese herbal

    edicine (CHM) to treat the disease and act as maintenance therapyt the same time.

    CHM, which has a long history in China and has accumulatedich experience in the treatment of malignant tumors, is widelysed in the treatment of advanced NSCLC. Some studies havehown that CHM combined with chemotherapy, radiotherapy andargeted therapy can alleviate side effects of cancer treatment,nhance short-term therapeutic effects, stabilize the disease andmprove the long-term efficacy of treatment.22–24 In regards toatients who cannot accept conventional therapy, CHM can besed alone to ameliorate symptoms, improve QOL, and prolonghe survival time with a tumor.25 CHM shows an irreplaceable rolen the comprehensive treatment of advanced NSCLC.26 In fact, a

    ajority of advanced NSCLC patients receive CHM as consolida-ion therapy after completion of first-line chemotherapy, whichctually includes maintenance therapy. CHM has a definite advan-age, including stabilizing tumor growth, relieving symptoms and

    ild adverse events, which can help patients to “survive with aumor”.27,28 It also meets a criterion that the optimal maintenanceherapy agent should be associated with an improvement in out-ome, have good patient tolerance, and be devoid of cumulative

    oxicities. Furthermore, CHM is not limited to treating patientsith histologic type, PS, or genetic alternations and is subsequently

    ery suitable for maintenance therapy. In China, some studies have

    es in Medicine 24 (2016) 81–89

    reported that CHM serving as maintenance therapy can prolong PFSand improve the QOL.29,30 However, studies about CHM as mainte-nance therapy are limited, and almost all of the studies were smallsample, non-randomized controlled trials (RCT), which lack strongevidence to prove that CHM can have an effective role as mainte-nance therapy. According to our previous pilot study, 28 cases ofadvanced NSCLC patients accepted CHM and best supported care(BSC) as maintenance therapy; the median PFS was 5.0 months,which showed a significant benefit compared with the literaturereporting placebo and BSC as maintenance therapy (median PFSwas 2.6 months).31 Therefore, a multicenter randomized controlledstudy was carried out to evaluate the efficacy and safety of usingCHM as maintenance therapy.

    2. Patients and methods

    2.1. Study design

    This was a multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled trial.The study was approved by the medical Ethics Committees of Bei-jing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine affiliated to CapitalMedical University, and written informed consent to participatein the study was received by all of the participating patients. Thestudy was conducted following the principles of the Declaration ofHelsinki, good clinical practices and local regulations.

    2.2. Patients

    2.2.1. Eligibility criteria included the followingNo more than one week from completion of 4–6 cycles of

    platinum-based first-line induction therapy32 with radiographicevidence of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) orSD; a histologic or cytological diagnosis of stage IIIB or stage IVNSCLC (using the seventh edition TNM staging system available atthe time the study was conducted)33; between the ages of 18 and75 years old; an estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months; anEastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) PS of 0–2; at least onemeasurable lesion according to the Response Evaluation Criteria inSolid Tumors (RECIST version 1.1)34; and adequate liver and kidneyfunction.

    2.2.2. Exclusion criteria included the followingKnown brain metastasis (except for stable metastases being

    treated with stereotactic radiation or surgery); any serious con-comitant systemic disorder, such as unstable angina pectoris,myocardial infarction, significant cardiac arrhythmia, stroke, orsevere hypertension; pregnancy or breast-feeding; mental disease;allergies to any components of the study drug; unable to consent orcomply with the protocol; concurrent or planned chemotherapy ortargeted maintenance treatment or any other clinical and biochem-ical test; and unwilling or unable to complete QOL questionnairesand give written consent.

    2.3. Treatment

    Patients in the control group were treated with BSC rec-ommended by the NCCN Cancer Palliative Care Guide (Version1.2010)35 at any time during the study if it was felt to be in thepatient’s best interest. This included, but was not restricted to, anal-gesics, paracentesis, psychosocial care, nutritional support, or bloodtransfusions. Localized radiotherapy to alleviate pain was allowed,

    provided that the radiation dose was in the palliative range. How-ever, no other anticancer therapies were permitted during thestudy. Strict quality control measures for BSC were implementedand monitored.

    Patients in the trial group were treated with BSC and CHM. CHMreatment was applied with a decoction composed of 10–20 herbarieties. The CHM was made based on a series process. First, basedn our extensive experience in clinical practice and in combinationith previous studies36 and modern pharmacological studies, we

    ummarized the characteristics of Chinese Medicine syndrome indvanced NSCLC. For each syndrome, we developed an appropriateiagnostic criterion and corresponding fixed prescription compo-ition of 3–5 herbs (Appendix A). Then, based on the theory ofreatment according to syndrome differentiation combined withach patient’s symptoms, the Chinese Medicine expert determinedhe syndromes and chose the corresponding prescriptions to formhe CHM treatment prescription (decoction). Due to the changef syndrome over time, experts would re-determine syndromesnd adjust the CHM treatment prescription every two weeks. TheHM was given orally, 200 ml each time, twice daily. The treatmentegan the day of random assignment and continued until diseaserogression, patient-physician decision, or unacceptable toxicity.atient follow-ups were done by regular monthly telephone callsr during their monthly visit to the hospital until progression wasbserved.

    .4. Outcomes

    .4.1. PFSPFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to

    he time of disease progression or death. It was based on the day as anit. Tumor assessments were performed by the radiologist blindedo group allocation at each investigative site, per RECIST (version.1) requirements,34 at baseline and every two month during thetudy period until documented disease progression, death or studylosure. We compared Median PFS time and the PFS probabilitiesf 3 months and 6 months between the two groups.

    .4.2. QOLThe Functional Assessment of Cancer Treatment-Lung (FACT-

    ) Chinese version 4.0 questionnaire was adopted. It has beenonfirmed that the instrument has good reliability, validity andesponsiveness and can be used to measure QOL for Chineseatients with lung cancer.37 There are 36 questions loaded on 5omains of FACT-L, which include physical well-being (7 ques-ions), social well-being (7 questions), emotional well-being (6uestions), functional well-being (7 questions) and the lung can-er symptom (9 questions) domain. The questionnaire was in theypical format of a 5-point Likert scale, in which each questionanged from 0 to 4, positive questions scored forward, and neg-tive questions scored in reverse. The domain score was calculatedy summing each question’s score. The total score was the sum ofach domain score. For each domain and the total score, the higherhe score was, the better the QOL of the patients. The date of QOLas observed and recorded at baseline (week 0) and at the 4th week

    week 4) and the 8th week (week 8) during the treatment period.

    .4.3. SafetyRoutine urine was collected and liver and kidney function and

    lectrocardiograms (ECG) were assessed before and after treat-ent, as were AEs recorded during treatment. The AEs were graded

    ccording to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse EventsCTCAE), version 3.0.38

    .4.4. Calculation of sample sizeThe primary end point of this study was PFS. To determine

    ample size, the following fixed design parameters were used39: awo-sided 0.05 significance level, 90% power, randomization ratiof 1:1, and all patients enrolled had an expected time of no morehan 26 months and a total accrual duration of no more than 33

    es in Medicine 24 (2016) 81–89 83

    months. Interim analysis was not planned. Considering that therewas no previous RCT in this setting, to our knowledge, median PFSin the BSC arm was assumed to be 2.6 months based on our retro-spective study and a literature review.40 Our previous single-armplot trial showed that the median PFS in CHM/BSC was 5 months.Thus, 106 patients in both arms were expected, with 53 patients ineach group.

    2.4.5. RandomizationPatients were chronologically randomized into two groups, and

    the distribution ratio was 1:1. A random number from 001 to 106was generated by SPSS 19.0 and saved in a sealed envelope. Treat-ment allocation occurred when the participant met the inclusioncriteria and signed the informed consent. The result of random-ization was opened to patients and investigators along with theperformance of the study. To strengthen the quality control forthis open-label trial, an investigator separate from all of the clinicalresearchers was assigned in each center as the contact person whopreserved and recorded the randomization information.

    2.4.6. Statistical analysisAll clinical data were analysed using SPSS 19.0 by an indepen-

    dent clinical statistician uninvolved in providing the interventionor management. The outcomes were analysed by the intention-to-treat (ITT) model and supplemented by per-protocol (PP) analysis.Student’s t-test or the Chi-square test was used to compare the twogroups’ baseline characteristics. PFS assessments for patients with-out disease progression at the end of the study were considered ascensored data. For each treatment arm, the Kaplan–Meier methodwas used to estimate PFS curves and calculate the median PFS andassociated 95% Confidence Interval (CI) and survival probabilitiesof 3 months and 6 months. The PFS curves were compared usingthe log rank test. For the QOL assessment, the independent-samplet-test or the Mann–Whitney U-test, based on the distribution, wasused to compare differences between the two groups at specifictime points (baseline, 4 week treatment and 8 week treatment).Repeated measures were used to compare differences over timefor continuous observation. All P values were two-tailed, and an �level less than 0.05 was considered statistically significance.

    3. Results

    3.1. Patient enrollment and comparison of general information

    All patients were recruited (September 2011–March 2014) from4 hospitals. Seven patients did not fully complete the study due toviolations of the protocol during the study. At the end, 99 patientscompleted the study treatment. No patient was lost to follow-up.Therefore, the per-protocol analysis set (PPS) population was 99,and the full analysis set (FAS) population was 106. Patient enroll-ment and completion values for the study are shown in Fig. 1.

    There was no significant difference in age, gender, staging,pathological type, chemotherapy cycle, response after standardchemotherapy, or ECOG performance status between the twogroups (FAS, PPS: P > 0.05). The comparison of general informationat baseline between the two groups is shown in Table 1.

    3.2. Comparison of PFS

    The cut-off date for analysis was July 2014, resulting in a medianfollow-up time at day 146 (censoring those who were progres-sion free at the end of the study); at the cut-off date, 95 patients

    had disease progression (89.6%). The number of patients who wereprogression free in the trial group and control group were 7 and4, respectively. There was no significant difference in the aspectsof the median PFS time and the 6-month PFS probability between

    There were no significant differences in routine blood, urinend stool tests, liver and kidney function tests and ECG beforend after treatment in each group. AEs were recorded when theyccurred. However, there was no significant difference betweenhe two groups in terms of AEs (P > 0.05). Ten cases in the trialroup experienced dry mouth, nausea, loss of appetite, and diar-hea, which appeared after taking CHM and may be associated with

    HM treatment. Five cases in the control group experienced dryonth, nausea, constipation, and loss of appetite, which may be

    aused by the BSC treatment. The grade of these AEs was 1, andfter temporary CHM withdrawal or symptomatic treatment, these

    symptoms disappeared in a week. No patients quit the trial becauseof the AEs.

    4. Discussions

    In recent years, maintenance therapy of advanced NSCLC hasbecome a hot spot for research. The U.S. National Cancer Institute’smedical dictionary defines maintenance therapy as “any treatmentthat is given to help keep cancer from progressing after it has beensuccessfully controlled by the appropriate initial front-line therapy;it may include treatment with drugs, vaccines, or antibodies, and itshould be given for a long time”.13 CHM is based on a unique theoryformed from long-term practical experience. For the last thousand

    years, CHM has been widely practiced in China and has recentlybeen widely used internationally as a complementary and alter-native therapy. More than 90% of modern Chinese cancer patientshave received CHM treatment.41 Recently, CHM has also been used

    broad and is well accepted in many countries, particularly forhe treatment of oncology.42 Nevertheless, more rigorous trials areequired to further verify CHM efficacy. Therefore, we conductedhe study to evaluate CHM as maintenance therapy consideringdvanced NSCLC patients’ tumor control and QOL.

    Our results showed that PFS was not significantly different inhe two groups, despite an extended period of PFS time in the trialroup. Furthermore, the 3-month rate of disease progression wasignificantly reduced in the trial group, but the 6-month PFS prob-bilities of the two groups were similar, which reflected that theHM may have a short-term benefit for maintenance therapy ofdvanced NSCLC. However, it appeared that the advantages of CHMere not sustained, which may be related to the rapid deterioration

    ver time of advanced NSCLC. In addition, it should be noted thathe study did not chose overall survive (OS) as an endpoint to eval-ate survival. The purpose of our study was to explore if CHM couldave an effective role as maintenance therapy, and it is not possi-le to control for post-study events in the clinical trial that wouldllow for fair assessment of a new therapy. Given this real worldhallenge, the PFS endpoint becomes even more important, not justor trials evaluating maintenance treatment strategies but also forll future definitive therapeutic trials in this patient population.

    QOL is an important prognostic factor43 and a significant pre-ictor of survival44 in advanced NSCLC. The change of the medicalodel from the bio-medical model to a bio-psycho-social medicalodel makes us pay more attention to QOL and not just focus on

    ime of survival in the treatment of advanced cancer patients. Thencologic Drugs Advisory Committee (U.S. Food and Drug Admin-

    stration) has also recommended that the QOL should be observeds an important endpoint in cancer clinical trials.45 Silvestri G46

    eported that a majority of patients were more willing to choose method of treatment that can alleviate symptoms, although thistudy could not bring about prolonged survival. Because advancedung cancer patients are usually accompanied by a persistent cough,hest tightness, wheezing, pain and other symptoms that can resultn a limitation of daily activities, they cannot take care of them-elves and must rely on family members. In addition, because ofhe difficulty of cancer therapy, rapid progression of disease, andnancial burden, patients experience low self-esteem, depression,nxiety and other damages to their mental well-being. There-ore, for advanced NSCLC, it is important to treat these patients tomprove their QOL. However, there is a lack of data about QOL with

    aintenance therapy. We chose QOL as one of the main end pointsf our study to build knowledge in this area. Because QOL is sub-ective, a questionnaire is an important tool for its assessment. Ourtudy adopted the FACT-L questionnaire, which was developed byhe Chicago Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center for can-er research and is widely used in the world. Our result showedhat after treatment, the improvement of the physical well-beingomain (16.7% vs 3.48%), functional well-being domain (12.23%s 2.93%), emotional well-being domain (11.36% vs 4.53%), lung

    ancer symptoms well-being domain (13.28% vs 9.41%), and totalcore (11.11% vs 2.59%) in the trial group were better than thosen the control group. However, the social well-being domain wasot improved. The items of this domain are all focused on social

    es in Medicine 24 (2016) 81–89 87

    support and emotional intimacy between family and friends. Thus,we think the score of this domain may mainly depend on family,friends, neighbors or others to provide various forms of support andhelp.

    However, there are some limitations to this study. First, thisstudy was performed as an open-label study, but some measureswere taken to strengthen quality control. The development of theCHM treatment followed strict procedures aiming to confirm thesyndrome diagnostic criteria and treatment standards to avoidsubjective arbitrary treatment. Moreover, CHM took into accountthe requirements of individual care combined with standard ther-apy. It was possible to form CHM standards in treating advancedNSCLC, which is worth applying in clinics and beneficial to dis-covering effective compounds and monomers. To ensure accuratePFS measurement, a strict schedule of efficacy assessment andpatient follow-up was implemented, and a radiological evaluationor diagnosis was performed every 2 months; to further increasethe confidence in PFS assessment, an independent review of radio-graphic images was frequently performed. For QOL, all patientswere required to complete the questionnaire by themselves andthe researchers could not give the suggestion, so we are confi-dent about the accuracy of our PFS and QOL data. In addition,the randomization, allocation, and data management were han-dled by independent individuals. Second, a placebo for CHM wasnot adopted in the study; the reason for this is that a placebo of aCHM decoction is difficult to make, and it is difficult to obtain ethi-cal patient consent. Third, due to the stringent inclusion criteria ofpatients, it became hard to collect qualified patients, and we spentalmost three years working to complete the study.

    5. Conclusions

    Overall, our findings suggest a limited role for CHM as main-tenance therapy to prolong patients’ PFS time, but it may bebeneficial in improving the QOL. The U.S. Food and Drug Adminis-tration has recommended that the beneficial effects on QOL and/orsurvival be the basis for approval of new anticancer drugs. There-fore, from a regulatory standpoint, drugs that have an impact onsurvival or demonstrate a favorable effect on QOL are more impor-tant than most other traditional measures used to assess efficacy,such as objective tumor response.45 Thus, CHM may be consideredas maintenance treatment, and further research is required andworthwhile.
