Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

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.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥18 years.
  • Cirrhotic liver demonstrated by typical liver dysmorphy on imaging and/or liver biopsy.
  • HCC with at least one lesion measuring more than 1 cm in diameter with a single dynamic imaging technique (CT or MRI), showing intense arterial uptake followed by washout of contrast in the venous-delayed phases, or diagnosed by biopsy.
  • Borderline resectable disease eligible for surgical resection or radiofrequency destruction.
  • No extra-hepatic dissemination.
  • ECOG Performance status < 2.
  • Women of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
  • Signed written informed consent (approved by an Independent Ethics Committee) obtained prior to any study specific baseline procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Decompensated cirrhosis (Child Pugh B, C).
  • Extra-hepatic tumour spread.
  • Previous or concomitant malignancies within five years other than basal cell carcinoma of the skin.
  • Pregnancy, lactation or refusal to use adequate contraceptive measures (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, abstinence).
  • Pre-existing other hepatic disease (liver abscess, hepatic sarcoidosis or tuberculosis, sclerosing cholangitis, …).
  • Previous trans-arterial radioembolization (TARE).
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition of the administered materials.
  • Bleeding diathesis, history of cardiovascular ischemic disease or cerebrovascular incident within the last six months.
  • Major surgery within four weeks.
  • Uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Uncontrolled Diabetes.

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
Peri-operative morbidity
Time Frame: 3 months after surgery
peri-operative morbidity of supraselective ablative transarterial radioembolization prior to surgical resection or radiofrequency in cirrhotic patients with HCC (starting from date of inclusion till 90 days after surgery or hospital discharge if more than 90 days)
3 months after surgery

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
Survival
Time Frame: 3 years
Assessment of the overall disease free survival and Overall Survival
3 years
One and three years survival
Time Frame: one and three years

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.
