NCT ID NCT06395441
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase III trial tests whether American ginseng can reduce fatigue in 160 cancer patients. Fatigue is a common and tough side effect of cancer and its treatment. Participants will take either ginseng or a placebo, and researchers will measure changes in fatigue levels over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
American ginseng (dietary supplement)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a natural option to ease cancer-related fatigue, improving quality of life for many patients.
What could go wrong
This is a large Phase III trial, but fatigue is subjective and the placebo effect is strong. Ginseng may not outperform placebo, and results may not apply to all cancer types.
