Huaier Granule for rising CEA after colon cancer surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
