Clinical Research Highlights
#

Hi-Q has invested in the development of Oligo Fucoidan as an adjunct supplement for cancer patients, aiming to relieve side effects such as cachexia. Collaborative research with Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital (Taiwan) led to a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. The study demonstrated that Oligo Fucoidan, when combined with chemotarget agents, significantly improved the Disease Control Rate (DCR), reaching up to 92.8%.

  • Study Design: Prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial
  • Outcome: Enhanced disease control in metastatic colorectal cancer patients
  • Significance: Supports the use of natural fucoidan as a supplemental therapy alongside conventional cancer treatments
