Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Cangpo Liujun Prescription works to treat cancer-related fatigue in patients with advanced colorectal cancer undergoing second-line chemotherapy with spleen deficiency and dampness excess. It will also learn about the safety of Cangpo Liujun Prescription. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Cangpo Liujun Prescription improve the fatigue symptoms for participants? How about the relationship between taking Cangpo Liujun Prescription and distribution of intestinal flora? Researchers will compare Cangpo Liujun Prescription to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if Cangpo Liujun decoction works to treat cancer-related fatigue in patients with advanced colorectal cancer undergoing second-line chemotherapy with spleen deficiency and dampness excess. Participants will: Take Cangpo Liujun Prescription or a placebo every day for 3 months Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests Keep a diary of their symptoms Take blood samples to detect immune function and inflammatory factors Collected Feces for gut microbiota analysis
