Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older experiencing cancer-related fatigue.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are not experiencing cancer-related fatigue or those with contraindications to the study medication may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of Redsenol-1 Plus in alleviating cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in adults. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Redsenol-1 Plus or a placebo, with their fatigue levels measured using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) scale at baseline and after 12 weeks. The study will also monitor any adverse events to evaluate the tolerability of the treatment compared to the placebo group.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly reduce cancer-related fatigue, improving the quality of life for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on fatigue management in cancer patients, the specific use of Redsenol-1 Plus is a novel approach that has not been extensively tested.

Individuals who are pregnant, breast feeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study 2. Allergy, sensitivity, or intolerance to the investigational product's or placebo's active or inactive ingredients 3. Individuals with any CNS malignancies (e.g., brain or spine) and/or estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer 4. Individuals with other primary causes of fatigue, as assessed by the QI (e.g., diagnosed non-cancer related chronic pain, insomnia/sleep disorders, depression/psychiatric disorders, unstable hypothyroidism, diabetes, gastrointestinal disease or symptoms that can affect nutritional balance) 5.
