Detailed Description

The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the distribution of radiopaque microspheres loaded with doxorubicin in the treatment of unresectable HCC. Prospective, single arm, open label, single centre, pilot study. All patients will undergo clinical follow-up. Twenty patients will be enrolled. Primary endpoint : Local response (evaluated with CT and MRI at 4 to 6 weeks post each procedure and at 6 months according to mRECIST) in patients with intermediate-stage HCC following chemoembolisation with radiopaque bead. Secondary endpoints include: 1) Better definition of end point of embolization for drug eluting beads : Ability to achieve near-stasis during chemoembolisation procedure in the tumour feeding vessels using intra-procedural imaging feedback from the radiopaque bead (early visualization of non target embolization 2) Total dose needed for tumor devascularization 3)Distribution of radiopaque beads and correlation with necrosis and adverse events

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

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient is at least 18 years old.
  2. HCC diagnosed according to updated American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria.
  3. Barcelona Criteria Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B patients or BCLC stage A patients not candidates for curative treatment (resection, transplantation, ablation) or who have failed/recurred after resection/ablation).
  4. Tumour burden (located in one or two lobes) that can be sufficiently and selectively embolised with required dose or radiopaque bead loaded with doxorubicin.
  5. Performance status: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status 0/1.
  6. Normal liver or compensated cirrhosis with preserved liver function (Child-Pugh A score and Child/Pugh B≤ 7 points ) without ascites.
  7. Total bilirubin ≤2.0 mg/dl.
  8. Adequate renal function (serum creatinine < 1.5 X ULN).
  9. Patient has provided written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient previously treated with any intra-arterial therapy for HCC.
  2. Eligible for curative treatment (resection/RadioFrequency Ablation-RFA, transplantation therapies).
  3. Advanced liver disease: Child-Pugh's C class or active gastrointestinal bleeding, encephalopathy. Bilirubin levels >2.0 mg/dl.
  4. Advanced tumoural disease: BCLC class C (vascular invasion -even segmental, extra-hepatic spread or cancer-related symptoms=ECOG of 1-2) or D class (WHO performance status 3 or 4, Okuda III stage).
  5. Patient with another primary tumour.
  6. Patient with refractory ascites or on diuretic treatment; minor ascites retention detected at imaging and not requiring diuretics to be solved is not a contraindication.
  7. Patient with history of biliary tree disease or biliary dilatation.
  8. Portal vein thrombosis, porto-systemic shunt, hepatofugal blood flow or absent portal blood flow in the liver area to be treated.
  9. Contraindication to multiphasic CT and MRI (e.g. allergy to contrast media).
  10. Any other contraindication for embolisation or local doxorubicin treatment.
  11. Patients currently receive treatment with any investigational drug/device/intervention or have received any investigational product within 1 month or 5 half-lives of the investigational agent (whichever is longer) before study treatment.
  12. In the Investigator's opinion patient has (a) co-morbid condition(s) that could limit the patient's ability to participate in the study, compliance with follow-up requirements or impact the scientific integrity of the study.
  13. Pregnant or breast-feeding women.

Study Start (ACTUAL)

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.
May 2, 2018

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.
