Cirrhosis, Liver, Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), HEPATITIS B CHRONIC
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to establish a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group clinical trial cohort. The cohort will include high-risk populations for hepatitis B cirrhosis-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from multiple centers nationwide, who meet the criteria of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation as Qi-zhi-xue\_yu syndrome and have an aMAP score \>60 points. The objective is to evaluate whether combining Bie-jia-ruan-gan with standard anti-hepatitis B virus therapy can further reduce the incidence of HCC in this high-risk population.
Interventions
receive Biejia-Ruangan compound (2.0 g per dose, three times daily) in addition to standard antiviral therapy
receive Biejia-ruangan compound simulant (2.0 g per dose, three times daily) in addition to standard antiviral therapy
