ABSTRACT Objective:To systematically assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of Shenqifuzheng injection combined with FOLFOX chemotherapy regimen in the treatment of colorectal carcinoma. Methods: A thorough and systematic retrieval of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which regarding Shenqifuzheng injection combined with FOLFOX chemotherapy regimen for treating colorectal carcinoma was conducted by using literature databases. The methodological quality of the included RCTs was evaluated, and then the data were analysed by RevMan 5.3 software. Results:A total of 11 RCTs with 943 participants were included. In the Meta analysis, Shenqifuzheng injection plus FOLFOX chemotherapy regimen could be better than FOLFOX chemotherapy regimen alone in the treatment of colorectal carcinoma in respect of total effective rate (RR=1.40, 95%CI: 1.21 1.61, P=0.000 01), and improvement of life quality (RR=1.76, 95%CI: 1.40 2.23, P<0.000 01). In addition, Shenqifuzhneg injection can reduce the adverse reactions, such as gastrointestinal reaction (RR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.51 0.74, P<0.000 01), aleucocytosis (RR=0.60, 95%CI: 0.49 0.74, P<0.000 01), thrombocytopenia (RR=0.51, 95%CI: 0.37 0.71, P<0.000 01), abnormal liver function (RR=0.54, 95%CI: 0.36 0.80, P=0.002). Conclusion:Shenqifuzheng injection combined with FOLFOX chemotherapy regimen is beneficial in the treatment of colorectal carcinoma, while our findings should be comfirmed by more large size RCTs. |
