Effect of Babao Dan Capsule Combined With Antiviral Therapy on the Incidence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients With Hepatitis B-related Cirrhosis: A Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study

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 Shi-re-du-yun syndrome and have an aMAP score >60 points. The objective is to evaluate whether combining Babao Dan Capsule with standard anti-hepatitis B virus therapy can further reduce the incidence of HCC in this high-risk population.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Voluntarily signed informed consent form
2. Aged 18-65 years
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome type of Shi-re-du-yun
4. Meeting the diagnostic criteria for hepatitis B-related cirrhosis
5. aMAP score > 60

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Previously diagnosed with or treated for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or other malignancies
2. Pregnant or lactating women
