This randomized trial will test whether Antrodia cinnamomea supplement improves quality of life in lung cancer patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy.
Participants at Tri-Service General Hospital will be randomized to receive either Antrodia cinnamomea capsules or placebo for 3 months, with follow-up to 6 months (24 weeks). Primary outcomes include nausea/vomiting scores, sleep quality, quality of life, and cancer symptoms.
This study will test whether a nutritional supplement, Antrodia cinnamomea can help improve quality of life in lung cancer patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy.
Lung cancer patients often experience side effects from chemotherapy treatment, including nausea, vomiting, sleep problems, and other symptoms that affect their daily life. Antrodia cinnamomea is a medicinal mushroom supplement that may help reduce these side effects.
The study will include lung cancer patients who are receiving platinum-based chemotherapy at Tri-Service General Hospital. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: half will receive capsules containing turmeric, probiotics, and Antrodia cinnamomea, and half will receive capsules containing only turmeric and probiotics. Neither participants nor doctors will know which treatment each person is receiving.
All participants will take their assigned capsules daily for 3 months. Researchers will then continue to follow participants for an additional 3 months (up to 6 months total or 24 weeks) to monitor the lasting effects of the supplement. During this time, researchers will use questionnaires to measure nausea and vomiting, sleep quality, and cancer-related symptoms. The study will compare these measurements between the two groups to see if Antrodia cinnamomea supplement helps improve quality of life.
