Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study is a prospective, multicenter, parallel-controlled exploratory trial. It plans to enroll 40 subjects diagnosed with malignant lung tumors, who will visit the selected research centers from October 2025 to October 2026. All subjects will be assigned to either the control group or the experimental group based on clinical management and their own preference. Subjects in the control group will receive no therapeutic intervention, while those in the experimental group will be administered Huaier Granules.Throughout the study period, the planned duration for subject recruitment and enrollment is 12 months. The total follow-up duration for enrolled subjects is 48 weeks. After enrollment, subjects will be followed up every 2 weeks during the first 8 weeks, and then every 4 weeks thereafter. Follow-ups will continue until the study ends, the subject withdraws from the study for any reason, is lost to follow-up, or dies, whichever occurs first.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
16-week Efficacy Rate for Proteinuria Treatment
Time Frame: Start of treatment until 16-week follow-up
It defined as the proportion of subjects achieving complete remission, partial remission, or stable disease according to proteinuria treatment efficacy evaluation at 16 weeks, relative to the total number of subjects in both groups.
Start of treatment until 16-week follow-up

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
48-week Recurrence Rate for Proteinuria Treatment
Time Frame: Start of treatment until 48-week follow-up
It defined as the proportion of subjects whose proteinuria reverts to positive (≥1+) after becoming negative during treatment, relative to the total number of subjects.
Start of treatment until 48-week follow-up
48-week Resumption and Discontinuation Rates for Bevacizumab or Anlotinib after Proteinuria Treatment
Time Frame: Start of treatment until 48-week follow-up
It defined as the proportion of subjects who, due to worsening proteinuria, required temporary suspension of bevacizumab or anlotinib and subsequently resumed treatment after proteinuria alleviation, relative to the total number of subjects.
Start of treatment until 48-week follow-up
Incidence and Severity of Other Adverse Reactions (including but not limited to hypertension, bleeding, and gastrointestinal perforation) after 48 weeks of Proteinuria Treatment
Time Frame: Start of treatment until 48-week follow-up
Incidence is defined as the proportion of subjects experiencing other adverse reactions (including but not limited to hypertension, bleeding, and gastrointestinal perforation) relative to the corresponding total population. Severity will be assessed as per the relevant descriptions in the adverse event definitions and evaluation section
Start of treatment until 48-week follow-up
