Huaier granules versus chemotherapy after stomach cancer surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares a Chinese herbal medicine (Huaier granules) with a standard chemotherapy combination (SOX) for people who have had surgery for stage II or III stomach cancer. It looks at how well each treatment works and whether Huaier granules cause fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether giving oxaliplatin plus S-1 (SOX) chemotherapy before stomach surgery works best when given for different cycle lengths. It may help shrink stage III gastric cancer before a standard D2 gastrectomy and improve outcomes.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding two medicines (XELOX and tislelizumab) and another chemotherapy drug (PLD) around the time of surgery works better and is safe for people with stage III gastric (stomach) cancer. It is designed for tumors that are HER2-negative and PD-1/L1 positive.
This trial tests whether a Chinese herbal medicine called Huaier granules works better than standard chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that was removed by surgery. Participants can choose to take Huaier granules or standard chemotherapy, and researchers will compare outcomes.
This study tests whether Huaier granules can help prevent lung cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people with stage II–IIIA non-small cell lung cancer who have recently had their tumor completely removed and have not had other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.
This trial tests whether adding Huaier granules, a traditional Chinese medicine, to a chemotherapy pill called capecitabine helps people with pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. You would take the granules by mouth along with the chemo, and researchers will see if this combination helps control the cancer and improves well-being.
This study tests whether Huaier granules after surgery can lower the chance that colorectal cancer returns or spreads. It is for people who have recently had “radical” (complete) surgery for certain stages of colorectal cancer and are within about 2 months of that surgery.
