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.
This study is a small sample observational study, mainly exploring whether the 3-year DFS of the Huaier group is not inferior to the control group receiving standard platinum dual drug chemotherapy. Therefore, this study will conduct a small sample exploratory analysis. It is expected to include 240 non-small cell lung cancer patients who have been diagnosed with stage Ⅱ-ⅢA and are eligible for surgery at selected research centers from April 2023 to July 2025. Among them, 120 patients in the Huaier Granule group refused to undergo adjuvant chemotherapy due to reasons such as intolerance or disagreement, and agreed to receive Huaier Granule monotherapy as an adjuvant treatment; There are 120 patients in the control group, all of whom plan to receive standard chemotherapy as an adjuvant treatment plan (including platinum based dual-drug combination chemotherapy).
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
240
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.
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.

Quality of Life Score (SF-36 Scale)
The Health Survey Short Form\[(SF-36 Scale (Chinese Version) \]developed by the US Medical Bureau research team was used for evaluation. The scale has 36 items and aims to evaluate the health and functional status of multiple age groups, different diseases, and control populations.Note that all items are scored so that a high score defines a more favorable health state. In addition, each item is scored on a 0 to 100 range so that the lowest and highest possible scores are 0 and 100, respectively.

The incidence and severity of adverse events (AE) and severe adverse events (SAE)
The definitions and severity grading of AE and SAE can refer to the corresponding descriptions in the definition and evaluation section of AE. The incidence rate is defined as the proportion of subjects who have experienced AE and SAE to the corresponding total population.
Time frame: start of treatment until 3-year follow-up
