Summary

This study tests whether Huaier Granules, a traditional Chinese medicine, can reduce proteinuria (excess protein in urine) caused by the cancer drugs bevacizumab or anlotinib in lung cancer patients. About 40 adults will be enrolled and followed for 16 weeks to see if the granules help control this side effect. It is a small, early-phase trial, so results will be preliminary.
