NCT ID NCT07669519

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 3 study tests whether Nuvastatic, a herbal supplement taken as a powder sachet three times daily, can reduce cancer-related fatigue in adults with stage IV colon cancer who are starting chemotherapy. About 180 participants will receive either Nuvastatic or a placebo for 60 days while continuing their standard chemo. The main goal is to see if fatigue scores improve, with safety also closely monitored.
