Succinylated Gelatin for Prevention of Fluid Retention in Patients With Breast Cancer Receiving Docetaxel Chemotherapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Breast cancer patients who received docetaxel chemotherapy were randomly divided into two groups; experimental group: the patients received intravenous infusion of succinylated gelatin one day before and on the day of chemotherapy, 500ml each time, once per day; control group: observation. Primary endpoint: total incidence of fluid retention. Secondary endpoints: severity and duration of fluid retention, change in quality of life score.

Experimental: Succinylated gelatin The patients received intravenous infusion of succinylated gelatin one day before and on the day of chemotherapy, 500ml each time, once per day. |
Drug: Succinylated gelatin
Succinylated gelatin (SG, "Gelofusine"; B. Braun, Crissier, Switzerland) is a clear, inexpensive, safe, colloidal plasma volume-expanding solution, weight-average molecular weight (MWw) 30 kDa.

No Intervention: Control Observation. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Total incidence of fluid retention [6 months]
Total incidence of peripheral edema, ascites and pleural or pericardial effusion of patients during the period of docetaxel chemotherapy
Secondary Outcome Measures
- severity of fluid retention [6 months]
Severity of peripheral edema, ascites and pleural or pericardial effusion of patients during the period of docetaxel chemotherapy; the severity of pain was evaluated by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0, ranging from 1 to 3 grades.
- change in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast subscale score [6 months]
Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast(FACT-B)subscale during the period of docetaxel chemotherapy was assessed; the scores range from 0 to 144, higher scores mean a better outcome (higher quality of life)
