About this trial

This study is a multicenter, prospective, and observational clinical study aimed at exploring whether the 3-year DFS in the Huaier group is not inferior to the control group receiving standard platinum dual-drug chemotherapy.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

18 years old ≤ age ≤ 75, regardless of gender.

Confirmed as non-small cell lung cancer by histopathology, with pathological staging of stage Ⅱ-ⅢA.

Received radical R0 resection of lung cancer within 2 months before enrollment, and did not receive any postoperative adjuvant therapy or preoperative neoadjuvant therapy.

ECOG(Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group)score:0-2.

Disqualifiers

Known to be allergic to the components of Huaier granules or avoid or use Huaier granules with caution (Huaier group).

Those who have difficulty swallowing, complete or incomplete gastrointestinal obstruction, active gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, and other causes of difficulty in taking oral medication.

Non-small cell lung cancer patients who plan to receive targeted therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy, radiotherapy, synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy during the study period.

The patient has a history of other new malignant tumors within 5 years.

Trial population

The study population is resectable stage Ⅱ-ⅢA non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Huaier granule

    Drug

    The subjects voluntarily gave up postoperative adjuvant therapy, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy, and agreed to take Huaier granules.The subjects took Huaier granules orally, one bag (10g) per time, three times a day. Until the end of the study, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal from the study for any reason or death, or when the researcher determines that there is no further benefit, whichever occurs first. Please refer to the drug manual for specific usage. It is recommended that patients start taking Huaier granules 1-2 weeks after surgery.

  • Control

    Other intervention

    The subjects received standard platinum dual drug chemotherapy.The subjects were treated with carboplatin injection (300mg/m2, intravenous injection, first day) combined with pemetrexed disodium (pathological type: adenocarcinoma, intravenous injection, 500mg/m2) or albumin bound paclitaxel (pathological type: squamous cell carcinoma, 260mg/m2, intravenous injection, first day) every three weeks, with a maximum of four cycles.
