Effectiveness and safety of Shenqi Fuzheng injection combined with platinum-based chemotherapy for treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1198768. [PMID: 37731634 PMCID: PMC10507621 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1198768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shenqi Fuzheng Injection (SFI) combined with platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC) for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Seven electronic databases, including CNKI and Wanfang, were comprehensively searched to screen randomized controlled trials (RCTs) until May 1, 2022. The quality of each trial was evaluated according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions, and systematic reviews were conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. Statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3, and the results were expressed as relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). The primary outcome measures were objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR). The secondary outcome measures were quality of life and toxicity. Subgroup analysis was performed according to the number of days of SFI single-cycle treatment and combined PBC regimen. Results A total of 44 RCTs involving 3475 patients were included in the study. The meta-analysis results showed that, compared with PBC alone, SFI combined with PBC significantly improved the ORR (RR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.18-1.37, P < 0.00001), DCR (RR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.08-1.15, P < 0.00001), and quality of life (RR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.31-1.52, P < 0.00001). It also reduced chemotherapy-induced hemoglobin reduction (RR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.48-0.67, P < 0.00001), leukopenia (RR = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.53-0.71, P < 0.00001), thrombocytopenia (RR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.55-0.70, P < 0.00001), and simple bone marrow suppression (RR = 0.55, 95% CI = 0.41-0.73, P < 0.0001). Nausea and vomiting (RR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.52-0.77, P < 0.00001), diarrhea (RR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.37-0.64, P < 0.00001), and simple digestive tract reactions (RR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.49-0.80, P = 0.0002) also decreased with the treatment of SFI. Conclusion SFI combined with PBC for the treatment of advanced NSCLC improved the ORR, DCR, and quality of life, and reduced the incidence of myelosuppression and gastrointestinal adverse reactions. However, considering the limitations of existing evidence, further verification using high-quality RCTs is required.

Jo HG, Kim H, Baek E, Lee D, Hwang JH. Efficacy and Key Materials of East Asian Herbal Medicine Combined with Conventional Medicine on Inflammatory Skin Lesion in Patients with Psoriasis Vulgaris: A Meta-Analysis, Integrated Data Mining, and Network Pharmacology. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:1160. [PMID: 37631075 PMCID: PMC10459676 DOI: 10.3390/ph16081160] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease that places a great burden on both individuals and society. The use of East Asian herbal medicine (EAHM) in combination with conventional medications is emerging as an effective strategy to control the complex immune-mediated inflammation of this disease from an integrative medicine (IM) perspective. The safety and efficacy of IM compared to conventional medicine (CM) were evaluated by collecting randomized controlled trial literature from ten multinational research databases. We then searched for important key materials based on integrated drug data mining. Network pharmacology analysis was performed to predict the mechanism of the anti-inflammatory effect. Data from 126 randomized clinical trials involving 11,139 patients were used. Compared with CM, IM using EAHM showed significant improvement in the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) 60 (RR: 1.4280; 95% CI: 1.3783-1.4794; p < 0.0001), PASI score (MD: -3.3544; 95% CI: -3.7608 to -2.9481; p < 0.0001), inflammatory skin lesion outcome, quality of life, serum inflammatory indicators, and safety index of psoriasis. Through integrated data mining of intervention data, we identified four herbs that were considered to be representative of the overall clinical effects of IM: Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) DC., Isatis tinctoria subsp. athoa (Boiss.) Papan., Paeonia × suffruticosa Andrews, and Scrophularia ningpoensis Hemsl. They were found to have mechanisms to inhibit pathological keratinocyte proliferation and immune-mediated inflammation, which are major pathologies of psoriasis, through multiple pharmacological actions on 19 gene targets and 8 pathways in network pharmacology analysis. However, the quality of the clinical trial design and pharmaceutical quality control data included in this study is still not optimal; therefore, more high-quality clinical and non-clinical studies are needed to firmly validate the information explored in this study. This study is informative in that it presents a focused hypothesis and methodology for the value and direction of such follow-up studies.

Compound Kushen injection combined with platinum-based chemotherapy for stage III/IV non-small cell lung cancer: A meta-analysis of 37 RCTs following the PRISMA guidelines. J Cancer 2020; 11:1883-1898. [PMID: 32194799 PMCID: PMC7052862 DOI: 10.7150/jca.40267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2019] [Accepted: 12/09/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: Compound Kushen injection (CKI), one of the commonly used antitumor Chinese patent medicines, has been widely prescribed as adjunctive treatment to platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the efficacy and safety of this combination therapy for advanced NSCLC remain controversial. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of CKI combined with PBC on patients with stage III/IV non-small cell lung cancer. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed following the PRISMA (Preferred Reported Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis) guidelines. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing CKI in combination with PBC versus PBC alone were retrieved and assessed for inclusion. Analyses were performed using Review Manager 5.3 (Copenhagen: The Nordic Cochrane Centre, The Cochrane Collaboration, 2014), Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.0 (Biostat, Englewood, NJ, United States; 2016) and Trial Sequential Analysis software (TSA) (Copenhagen Trial Unit, Centre for Clinical Intervention Research, Copenhagen, Denmark; 2011). The disease control rate (DCR) was regarded as the primary outcome, and the objective response rate (ORR), quality of life (QOL), survival rate, and toxicities were the secondary outcomes. Results: Thirty-seven trials, recruiting 3,272 patients with stage III/IV NSCLC, were included. The results showed that, CKI combined with PBC resulted in significant improvements in DCR (RR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.15, P < 0.00001), ORR (RR = 1.30, 95% CI 1.20 to 1.40, P < 0.00001), QOL (RR = 1.73, 95% CI 1.55 to 1.92, P < 0.00001), 1-year survival rate (RR = 1.51, 95% CI 1.18 to 1.94, P = 0.001), and a 58% decline in the incidence of severe toxicities (RR = 0.42, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.49, P < 0.00001). Conclusions: From the available evidence, our data indicate that CKI plus platinum-based chemotherapy is more effective in improving clinical efficacy and alleviating the toxicity of chemotherapy than platinum-based chemotherapy alone in the treatment of stage III/IV NSCLC. However, considering the intrinsic limitations of the included trials, high-quality RCTs with survival outcomes are still needed to further confirm our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Shenqi Fuzheng injection (SFI) is a commonly used anti-cancer Chinese patent medicine and has long been prescribed as adjunctive treatment to platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC) in patients with stage III/IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the efficacy and safety of this combination therapy remain unclear. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted following the Preferred Reported Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Seven databases will be searched for relevant studies from their inception to the present date: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, ClinicalTrials.gov, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Databases. All randomized clinical trials comparing SFI in combination with PBC versus PBC alone will be retrieved and assessed for inclusion. Two researchers will independently perform the selection of the studies, data extraction, and synthesis. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool will be used to evaluate the risk of bias of the RCTs. The primary endpoint is the disease control rate (DCR), the secondary outcomes are the objective response rate (ORR), survival rate, quality of life (QOL), cellular immune function, and toxicities. Review Manager 5.3 (Nordic Cochrane Centre, Cochrane Collaboration, 2014 Copenhagen, Denmark) will be used to analyze the outcomes. RESULTS This study will systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of SFI combined with platinum-based chemotherapy in the treatment of stage III/IV NSCLC. The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. CONCLUSION This systematic review will evaluate the effects of SFI as adjunctive treatment to platinum-based chemotherapy in the patients with stage III/IV non-small cell lung cancer, thus providing evidence to the clinical application of this combination therapy.

J Cancer 2019; 10:4264-4269. [PMID: 31413745 PMCID: PMC6691691 DOI: 10.7150/jca.32646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2018] [Accepted: 05/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) -induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a key role in the metastasis and drug resistance of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Sphingosine kinase-1 (SphK1) is also involved in EMT of NSCLC. However, the interaction between SphK1 and IGF-1 in the EMT of NSCLC is largely unknown. To clarify this issue, we examined the involvement of SphK1 in IGF-1-induced EMT using human lung cancer cell line A549, and its paclitaxel-resistant subline. Cell viability was evaluated by cell counting kit-8 assay; Migratory ability was examined using scratch wound healing test; Protein expression levels of SphK1, vimentin, fibronectin, N-cadherin and E-cadherin were detected by western blot analysis, respectively. The results showed that, IGF-1 treatment of A549 cells stimulated the expression of SphK1, the activation of ERK and AKT, the cell migration, and the expression of EMT hallmark proteins, while inhibition of SphK1 by its specific inhibitor SKI-II suppressed all the above changes and increased the sensitivity of A549 cells to paclitaxel. Our data demonstrate that SphK1 acts as a downstream effector of IGF-1 and plays a critical role in IGF-1-induced EMT, cell migration and paclitaxel resistance of A549 cells, suggesting that SphK1 might be a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC.
