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
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.
3,896 studies on the registry are indexed under Pancreatic Neoplasms; 1,007 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 642 is above the median of 47 across 2,932 interventional studies indexed under Pancreatic Neoplasms.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A score of how well the liver works in people with liver disease such as cirrhosis: class A is mild, B moderate and C severe.
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².
Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
Adjuvant and neoadjuvant

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
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
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
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
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
Started May 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2026, 22 months after the start.
