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.

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 to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Pathological and/or clinical diagnosis confirmed as primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma).
  • Single tumor with maximum diameter ≤ 5cm ; or tumors number ≤ 3 with maximum diameter ≤ 3cm.
  • No invasion of blood vessels, gallbladder, adjacent organs and distant metastasis.
  • Child-Pugh class A or B classification, or meet the standard after treatment.
  • Able to understand the content of clinical trials, voluntarily participate in the trial and sign informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding, or preparing to become pregnant during the trial.
  • Participating in clinical trials of other devices or drugs.
  • Uncorrectable coagulation dysfunction (after corrective treatment, the PT exceeds the normal control value by more than 3s).
  • PLT <50x109/L.
  • Intractable massive ascites.
  • Cachexia.
  • MRI examination is contraindicated or the investigator judges it is not suitable for MRI examination.
  • Patients with bleeding from esophageal (fundus of stomach) varicose veins 1 month before surgery.
  • Patients with impaired consciousness or unable to cooperate with treatment.

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
Complete tumor ablation rate
Time Frame: 1 month after surgery

the percentage of complete ablation subjects for all subjects undergoing ablation surgery.

Complete ablation: Follow up by MRI scan 1 month after surgery, the area where the tumor is located is in the low-density arterial phase without enhancement; if the tumor is followed up by MRI scan 1 month after surgery, there is enhancement in the local arterial phase within the tumor lesion, which suggests that the tumor remains. The tumor could be treated by re-ablation; if there is still residual tumor in MRI scan 1 month after the second ablation, it is judged as incomplete ablation.
1 month 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
First complete tumor ablation rate
Time Frame: 1 month after surgery
the percentage of subjects who did not undergo the second one month after the operation accounted for all the ablation trials.
1 month after surgery
Complete ablation rate of lesions
Time Frame: 1 month after surgery
the percentage of lesions that are completely ablated to all lesions undergoing ablation.
1 month after surgery
