BackgroundErythropoiesis and iron homeostasis are closely related; anemia due to lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) remains difficult to treat. In the last decade, we have been committed to improving the regulation of iron metabolism using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Previous studies have found that the TCM Yi Gong San (YGS) can reduce the expression of transferrin by inhibiting hepcidin overexpression caused by inflammation, promote the outward transfer of intracellular iron, and improve the symptoms of anemia. Here, our study aimed to compare the efficacy of a conventional drug with YGS with that of conventional medicine with placebo to provide a scientific basis for making clinical decisions.MethodsA prospective, multicenter, double-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial will be conducted to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of conventional medicine combined with YGS with that of conventional medicine alone in the treatment of MDS. A total of 60 patients would be enrolled in this study, with each treatment group (conventional medicine + YGS and conventional medicine + placebo) comprising 30 patients. Oral medication would be administered twice daily for 3 months. All patients would be followed up throughout the 3-month period. The primary outcome was measured by assessing blood hemoglobin level. The secondary outcome was measured by assessing TCM symptom score, iron metabolism, hepcidin levels, and inflammatory factors.DiscussionThis trial would aim to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of YGS in the treatment of lower-risk MDS anemia, as well as its impact on inflammatory factors and iron metabolism in patients with lower-risk MDS.Trial registrationChinese Clinical Trials Registry ( http://www.chictr.org.cn/ ) ChiCTR1900026774 .
