Arm Description

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Incidence of diarrhea (grade ≥2)
The diarrhea severity will be evaluated following standard criteria in NCI-CTC AE 5.0 Grade 2 is defined as Stool is increased by 4-6 times each day relative to baseline; discharge from stoma moderately increased.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Incidence of diarrhea (grade ≥3)
The diarrhea severity will be evaluated following standard criteria in NCI-CTC AE 5.0
Incidence of other chemo-related adverse effects
Other adverse reactions will be evaluated following standard criteria in NCI-CTC AE 5.0
Occult blood test for stool
Occult blood test for stool, reported as negative, weak positive, and positive.
PK parameters(Cmax)
Cmax ,if with complete data, in each cycle of Cmax for XCHT and their metabolites (14 compounds) and intestinal UGT enzyme probe (raloxifene and metabolites)
PK parameters(AUC)
AUC 0-24hr, if with complete data, in each cycle of AUC0-24hr for XCHT and their metabolites (14 compounds) and intestinal UGT enzyme probe (raloxifene and metabolites)
PK parameters(T1/2)
T1/2, if with complete data, in each cycle of T1/2 for XCHT and their metabolites (14 compounds) and intestinal UGT enzyme probe (raloxifene and metabolites)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial (RCT) study, to determine the impact of XCHT on irinotecan-induced severe delayed-onset diarrhea (SDOD), and to determine the feasibility of using plasma raloxifene-4'-glucuronide as a probe for intestinal UGT activity.
Detailed Description
A total of 98 patients, who are planning to recieve at least 3 cycles of FOLFIRI/mXELIRI chemotherapy, will be randomly assigned, at a 1:1 ratio, to XCHT group or placebo group, using a central randomization system. Patients will be administered with XCHT/placebo (9 g, qd, po) for 5 days each cycle of chemotherapy for 3 cycles. The XCHT/placebo administration begins 3 days before chemotherapy in each cycle, that is the chemotherapy begins on the 4th day of XCHT/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 XCHT/placebo administration in each cycle. The purpose of this study includes 1) to determine the safety and efficacy of XCHT for prevention of irinotecan-induced diarrhea; 2) to determine the PK profile of SN-38, SN-38G, raloxifene, raloxifene-glucuronide, and XCHT components; and 3) to validate the use of raloxifene-4'G as a probe for irinotecan-induced diarrhea.

Masking Description
Patients will be randomly assigned to XCHT/placebo groups, at a 1:1 ratio, using a central randomization system provided by the TCM clinical study methodology group of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine. This group is also responsible for blinding, including keeping the blinding codes, supervision, and quality control of blinding, by allocating drug codes for each patient. Investigators will dispense the drug according to the drug codes. The investigators, the study subjects, the care givers, and the outcome assessors will be blinded to the assigned group of subjects.
