Huaier granules after pancreatic cancer surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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 trial tests whether adding a Chinese herbal medicine called Huaier granule to the standard chemotherapy pill capecitabine can help people with pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if the combination works better than capecitabine alone.
This trial studies whether Huaier granules, taken after curative stomach cancer surgery, can improve outcomes compared with a standard chemotherapy regimen. It also looks closely at safety and side effects after surgery.
This trial tests whether Huaier granules can reduce blood “tumor marker” levels in people with breast cancer after surgery. If your marker levels are high but scans show no spread, the study may help see if the granules can keep markers from staying elevated.
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 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.
This trial studies whether Huaier granules can slow or control advanced breast cancer that has not spread to internal organs (like the liver or lungs). It may help people who have limited treatment options, especially when standard stronger local treatments (surgery or radiation) aren’t being used.
