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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: therapeutic conventional surgery
All patients undergo suegery to achieve macroscopic complete resection within 28 days after enrollment (including enrollment day). As long as tumor free margin is ensured, all resection margin distances and all surgical procedure are accepted. Surgical treatment in this study excludes the following, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) without resection of liver only or microwave coagulation therapy (MCT) only; for RFA or MCT is used as additional treatment under judgment of primary physician for new liver tumor which comfirmed during surgery in different parts of liver except portion scheduled for resection, RFA and MCT are included. After histological curative resection, patients are observed without treatment until comfirming recurrence. Patients with incomplete tumor removal are withdrawn from protcol treatment and receive imatinib treatment, 400 mg/day orally. For reccurrence is comfirmed, patients receive imatinib treatment, 400 mg/day orally.

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
Recurrence-free survival
Time Frame: 7.5 years
Recurrence-free survival is defined as time from date of surgery until date of recurrence or death from any cause, whichever comes first.
7.5 years

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
Overall survival
Time Frame: 7.5 years
Overall survival is defined as time from date of surgery until date of death from any cause.
7.5 years
Histological curative resection
Time Frame: At surgery
Histological curative resection is defined as complete tumor removal which comfirmed by pathological assessment of resected tissue. For radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or microwave coagulation therapy (MCT) is used as additional treatment for the new liver tumor which confirmed during surgery in different parts of liver except the portion scheduled for resection, the case is regarded as incomplete resection (R1). For peritoneal metastasis is confirmed during surgery, the case is regarded as incomplete resection (R1) regardless of macroscopic complete resection.
At surgery
Types and severities of adverse events
Time Frame: 7.5 years
Types and severities of adverse events from date of starting protocol treatment until 30 days after date of finishing the treatment are evaluated according to Japanese version of the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 (CTCAE v3.0) by Translational Research Informatics Center.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
