Overview
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, parallel controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness of Huaier Granule in preventing recurrence and metastasis after radical resection of colorectal cancer
Detailed Description
It is expected to include 756 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) who were diagnosed as stage II and underwent radical resection (R0) according to the CSCO colorectal cancer guidelines 2022 and met the criteria for cabetabine monotherapy in the study center from July 2024 to June 2026. The experimental group was treated with Huaier Granule monotherapy, and 378 patients were expected to be included; The control group was treated with capecitabine monotherapy, and 378 cases were expected to be included. Patients in the experimental group began using Huaier granules within 14 days-2 months after surgery. Patients in control group received capecitabine treatment, with one course of treatment every 3 weeks, for a total of 4-6 courses. Patients will be visited every 12 weeks (± 14 days) for the first two years after enrollment, and every 24 weeks (± 14 days) for the third year, until the end of the study, withdrawal from the study for any reason, or death, whichever occurs first.
