Study of Tumor-shrinking Decoction (TSD) to Treat Symptomatic Uterine Fibroids

A Double-blind, Randomized, Two-dose Trial of Tumor-shrinking Decoction (TSD), a Chinese Medicine Preparation in Patients With Symptomatic Uterine Fibroids

UFS-QOL consists of 37 items to assess the severity of UFs-related symptoms and the quality of life of patients.

The secondary clinical outcome is the clinical response that is defined as a ≥30% baseline-to-endpoint reduction on the symptom severity of transformed UFS-QOL score.

Imaging outcomes will be examined at baseline and endpoint using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to determine the number, size and density of the uterine fibroids.

two blood samples will be collected from each patient at baseline and at the end of the study, respectively. The collection of blood will be conducted between 08:00 and 09:00 before meal. Sera will be separated and stored at -20ºC until assayed. Serum concentrations of estrogen, progesterone and follicle-stimulating hormone will be measured using chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA).

Adverse events will be closely monitored at each visit. All adverse events, reported, elicited or observed, will be recorded on case report form, including the date and time of onset, duration, severity, relationship to study drug, and action taken.
