About this study

Official title: Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Huaier Granule in Postoperative Adjuvant Therapy of Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

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 is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  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.

    Measured: Start of treatment until 2-year follow-up

Secondary outcomes (4)
  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.

    Measured: 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.

    Measured: 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.

    Measured: 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.

    Measured: Start of treatment until 2-year follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Huaier granule and chemotherapy drugs in people with Pancreatic Cancer Resectable, run by Xi'an Jiaotong University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zheng Wang, PhD (+8615902993665, zheng.wang11@mail.xjtu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease-free survival (time frame: Start of treatment until 2-year follow-up). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 May 2024.
