Placebo group
Patients will be administered with XCHT (9 g, qd, po) for 5 days each cycle of FOLFIRI/mXELIRI chemotherapy for 3 cycles. The XCHT administration begins 3 days before chemotherapy in each cycle, that is the chemotherapy begins on the 4th day of XCHT administration. Plasma will be collected for pharmacokinetic testing (using raloxifene 60mg po as probe), on the day before chemotherapy, that is on the 3rd day of XCHT administration in each cycle.
Patients will be administered with placebo (9 g, qd, po) for 5 days each cycle of FOLFIRI/mXELIRI chemotherapy for 3 cycles. The placebo administration begins 3 days before chemotherapy in each cycle, that is the chemotherapy begins on the 4th day of placebo administration. Plasma will be collected for pharmacokinetic testing (using raloxifene 60mg po as probe), on the day before chemotherapy, that is on the 3rd day of placebo administration in each cycle.
