Oncoxin® and Quality of Life in Cancer Patients

ONCOXIN® and Quality of Life in Cancer Patients in a Real World Setting Study

It is expected that additional support with certain micronutrients may improve prognosis, decrease the frequency of side effects and complications and maintain high relative dose intensity of anticancer treatments. Food supplement ONCOXIN (ONCX) contains amino acids, vitamins, minerals and biologically active substances of natural origin with high immunostimulatory and antioxidant activity. Present study is a real world experience study intended to evaluate the efficacy of ONCX in cancer patients.

The study was conducted at 9 centers across the Russia and Kazakhstan. Patients were allocated in 2:1 comparison groups for the ONCX and control groups, respectively. A total of 133 patients were enrolled in the study; 84 in the ONCX group and 49 as controls.

ONCX contains microelements, vitamins, amino acids and certain naturally occurring, biologically active substances.

It is expected that additional support with certain micronutrients may improve prognosis, decrease the frequency of side effects and complications and maintain the Quality of life in cancer patients.
