Huaier granule with chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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 study compares two medicines to prevent colorectal cancer from coming back after surgery: a traditional Chinese medicine called Huaier and a standard chemotherapy pill called capecitabine. It is for people with stage 2 colon cancer that was completely removed.
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.
This trial tests if Huaier Granule, a traditional Chinese medicine, can help turn a rising CEA level back to normal after colon or rectal cancer surgery. It is for people who had stage I–III cancer, had successful surgery, and have no signs of cancer on scans but have a slightly high CEA level.
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.
