PopPK Profile of Qishe Pill: Study Protocol for a Phase I Clinical Trial

Summary

Qishe Pill (Shanghai Sundise Traditional Chinese Medicine Co., Ltd, China), composed of processed Radix Astragali, Muscone, Szechuan Lovage Rhizome, Radix Stephaniae Tetrandrae, Ovientvine, and Calculus Bovis Artifactus, has been developed and spread in use into clinical settings in 2009. As individualization has become the trend of modern medicine, a personalized medicine of Qishe Pill should be documented and practiced with various patients according to the ancient TCM system, a classification of personalized constitution type, which has been established to determine predisposition and prognosis to diseases as well as therapy and life-style administration. Therefore, we describe the population pharmacokinetic profile of Qishe Pill and compare its extent of metabolism in the 3 major Constitution Type (Qi-Deficiency, Yin-Deficiency and Blood-Stasis) to address major challenges of individualized and standardized Traditional Chinese Medicine into clinical practice.
