Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of caffeic acid for thrombocytopenia induced by cancer chemotherapy.
Methods A total of 60 patients received the same chemotherapy treatment on cycles 1, 2, and 3.They were given mimetic agentas negative control on the first course.On the second and third cycles, caffeic acid tablets were given from the first day of chemotherapy.
Results The lowest and highest platelet levels of the treatment group during the drug treatment period were significantly higherthan those of the negative control group(P < 0.001).No significant difference in the period of days of PLT < 50×109/L was observed between the groups, although a decreasing trend(P>0.05) was observed.After chemotherapy, the days required for platelet recovery toPLT≥75×109/L and PLT≥100×109/L in the treatment group was significantly fewer than in the negative control group(P < 0.001).All thepatients did not receive any platelet transfusion during the trial.
Conclusion Caffeic acid tablets were safe and effective for thrombocytopenia induced by tumor chemotherapy
