Condition: Malignant Digestive System Neoplasm · Malignant Female Reproductive System Neoplasm · Sponsor: Mayo Clinic
This clinical trial tests how well fucoidan works in preventing chemotherapy-related fatigue compared to a placebo in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) or gynecological (GYN) cancer. Fatigue poses a burden in patients with malignancies undergoing systemic chemotherapy. Fucoidan is a dietary supplement made of complex sugar that contain sulfate groups attached to their sugar units (sulfated polysaccharide) which found in brown seaweed. It is thought to have anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-thrombotic, anti-diabetic, and anti-tumor effects in pre-clinical models. Giving fucoidan may be effective in preventing chemotherapy-related fatigue in patients with GI or GYN.
