Study summary

The study is a multicenter, prospective clinical study aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of Huaier Granule in postoperative adjuvant treatment of resectable pancreatic cancer

Read the detailed description

The study is a multicenter, prospective clinical study, expected to include subjects who visited the selected research center from April 2024 to March 2026, underwent radical tumor resection surgery, and were pathologically diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The subjects are divided into two groups. One group is the standard chemotherapy group, with a planned inclusion of no less than 428 subjects. The chemotherapy will be treated using the Class 1A chemotherapy regimen recommended by the 2022 version of the CSCO guidelines; One group is the Huaier treatment group, with a planned inclusion of no less than 214 subjects. All subjects voluntarily give up the postoperative adjuvant treatment recommended by the guidelines and only choose Huaier granules for postoperative adjuvant treatment. A total of no less than 642 subjects are planned to be included.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Disease-free survival

    It is defined as the time from the first day after radical resection of pancreatic cancer to recurrence or all-cause death of pancreatic cancer.

    Time frame: Start of treatment until 2-year follow-up

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall survival

    It is defined as the time between the start date of enrollment and the recorded date of all-cause death. For subjects who were lost to follow-up before death, the last follow-up time is usually calculated as the time of death.

    Time frame: Start of treatment until 2-year follow-up

  2. Progression-free survival

    It is defined as the time between the start date of enrollment and the date of imaging progression or all-cause death evaluated by the investigator.

    Time frame: Start of treatment until 2-year follow-up

  3. The incidence and severity of adverse events (AE) and severe adverse events (SAE)

    The definitions and severity grading of AE and SAE refer to the corresponding descriptions in the definition and evaluation section of AE. The incidence rate is defined as the proportion of patients with AE and SAE to the corresponding total population.

    Time frame: Start of treatment until 2-year follow-up

  4. The incidence and severity of ADR, severe adverse reactions (SADR), suspicious and unexpected severe adverse reactions (SUSAR)

    The definitions and severity grading of ADR, severe ADR, and SUSAR refer to the corresponding descriptions in the definition and evaluation section of AE. The incidence rate is defined as the proportion of patients with ADR, severe ADR, and SUSAR to the corresponding total population.

    Time frame: Start of treatment until 2-year follow-up
