  • Jiuweirougan Granule in the Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis with Hepatic Fibrosis: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial

    Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of Jiuweirougan granule in the treatment of chronic hepatitis with hepatic fibrosis. Methods A double-blind, double dummy and randomized controlled method was adopted. Forty-six patients were selected by using the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomizedly allocated to the treatment group (n=23, Jiuweirougan 10 g, twice a day) and the control group (n=23, treated with Biejiaruangan 4 pills, three times a day). The duration of treatment for both groups lasted for 6 months. Results Two patients in the treatment group dropped out halfway through the study, while one patient in the control group was withdrawal for irregular treatment. Analysis according to intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) was conducted. In the treatment group, the effective rates of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) on the syndrome were 82.61% (19/23) (ITT) and 90.48% (19/21) (PP), while in the control group, there were 86.96% (20/23) (ITT) and 86.36% (19/20) (PP). There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The improvement rate of serum parameters in the treatment group such as hyaluronic acid (HA), type Ⅲ procollagen (PCⅢ), type Ⅳ collagewn (CⅣ) and laminin (LN) were 28.57% (6/21), 23.81% (5/21), 28.57% (6/21) and 4.76% (1/21), respectively, while in control group, the rates were 36.37% (8/22),13.64% (3/22), 36.37% (8/22) and 9.09% (2/22), respectively. No significant difference was seen between the two groups (P>0.05). ITT and PP analysis revealed similar results. No obvious adverse effects were noted. Conclusion Jiuweirougan granule may improve chronic hepatitis with fibrosis, and its effect is equal to that of Biejiaruangan. No obvious toxic-adverse effects were seen.
