The NBO protocol consists of regular sessions in a normobaric chamber where patients are exposed to controlled oxygen levels aimed at reducing ox-idative stress, supporting erythropoiesis, and modulating immune function. Patients in the CRC group will undergo 10 NBO sessions across five weeks, with two sessions weekly.\n\nPatient's exposure to NBO conditions in group 1 (aNBO) including: oxygen levels of 32-40% (compared to about 21% in the atmosphere), pressure maintained at 1,500 hPa (about 1,000 hPa outside), carbon dioxide levels between 0.7-1.9% (compared to 0.03% in the atmosphere, and hydrogen levels between 0.5-1% (which is 10 to 20 thousand times higher than in the atmosphere). Exposure time in the NBO chamber will be the standard 2 hours with an additional 20 minutes for preparation and adaptation and 10 minutes for the finalization and decompression period.\n\nPatients' exposure to atmospheric conditions in the same NBO chamber (without normobaric conditions to provide sham-placebo intervention) in group 2 (pNBO): oxygen levels about 21%, pressure maintained at about 1,000 hPa, carbon dioxide levels about o 0.03%, and hydrogen levels about 0.00005% (0.5 parts per million, like in the atmos-phere). The primary comparator in this study is the placebo NBO group (CRC patients; n=127) for CRC patients, which serves to differentiate the specific effects of active NBO from the natural course of treatment without enhanced oxygen exposure.\n\nThe patient assessment scheme contains six visits from V0 to V5 with subsequent analytical packages with detailed explanation in 2.8. section. The patient assessment schedule consists of six visits, from V0 to V5, each including specific evaluations and interventions. The study begins with V0 (prequalification\u002Fscreening), where patient consent is obtained, medical history is collected, and baseline data are recorded. V1 (randomization and pre-test visit) involves the initial assessments, including anemia, stress, immune, genetic markers, and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs). Following this, the first phase of the NBO intervention (sessions 1-5) takes place over five weeks. At V2 (midpoint evaluation), the same set of assessments is repeated to track progress, followed by the second phase of the NBO intervention (sessions 6-10) conducted over the next five weeks. V3 (finalization and post-test visit) marks the completion of the intervention, with a final round of primary and secondary outcome assessments. The study then proceeds with two follow-up visits: V4 (3-months post-NBO) and V5 (6-months post-NBO), where anemia, stress, immune, genetic markers, and PROMs are reassessed to evaluate the long-term effects of the intervention.",[153,159],{"label":154,"type":155,"description":156,"interventionNames":157},"active NBO therapy (n=127)","EXPERIMENTAL","Patient's exposure to NBO conditions in group 1 (aNBO)",[158],"Device: Normobaric oxygen therapy",{"label":160,"type":161,"description":162,"interventionNames":163},"placebo NBO therapy (n=127)","PLACEBO_COMPARATOR","Patients' exposure to atmospheric conditions in the same NBO chamber without normobaric conditions in group 2 (pNBO)",[158],[165,170],{"type":166,"name":167,"description":168,"armGroupLabels":169,"otherNames":138},"DEVICE","Normobaric oxygen therapy","Patient's exposure to NBO conditions in group 1 (aNBO) including: oxygen levels of 32-40% (compared to about 21% in the atmosphere), pressure maintained at 1,500 hPa (about 1,000 hPa outside), carbon dioxide levels between 0.7-1.9% (compared to 0.03% in the atmosphere, and hydrogen levels between 0.5-1% (which is 10 to 20 thousand times higher than in the atmosphere).

Normobaric oxygen (NBO) therapy, which delivers oxygen at atmospheric pressure with elevated oxygen concentration, has shown a potential to enhance erythropoiesis, reduce oxidative stress, and modulate immune function. However, its efficacy in CRC patients remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the effects of NBO exposures on (1) supporting erythropoiesis by measuring erythropoietin (EPO) levels and hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF-1α), (2) reducing oxidative stress and improving stress and emotional well-being, and (3) modulating immune function by assessing cytokine profiles. Secondary objectives include assessing the impact of NBO on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) such as stress, anxiety, depression, and quality of life. This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. A total of 254 CRC patients undergoing chemotherapy will be randomized 1:1 to receive either active NBO therapy (n=127) or placebo NBO therapy (n=127). The intervention consists of 10 NBO sessions over five weeks. Primary outcomes include biomarkers of erythropoiesis, oxidative stress, and immune response. Secondary outcomes assess quality of life and psychological well-being. Data will be collected at baseline, mid-intervention, post-intervention, and during two follow-up visits (3- and 6-months post-intervention). The study hypothesizes that NBO therapy will improve erythropoiesis, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance immune function in CRC patients, leading to improved quality of life and clinical outcomes.
