About this study

Official title: Clinical Randomized Control Trial of Intraoperative Implanting Chemotherapeutic Drugs Sustained Release Following Resection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Against Postoperative Short-term Recurrence

Hepatectomy is still the most important treatment for HCC.High recurrence rate mostly influence it's prognosis, especially for the patient with tumor >5cm, multiple tumor and who cannot accept R0 resection.Our retrospective study showed sustained released 5-FU implanted into the liver incisal margin after tumor was resected could reduce the recurrence rate of HCC after liver resection.According to this, we proceed this RCT to prospectively observe the effect of sustained released 5-FU,and we also want to know whether combined with sustained released cisplatin will get better effect in preventing the tumor recurrence,especially in short time after liver resection.

Read the detailed description

150 HCC patients with tumor >5cm, multiple tumor and who cannot accept R0 resection will be randomized divided into 3 groups. Group A (50 cases) will be implanted 600mg sustained released 5-FU into liver incisal margin after tumor is resected. Group B (50 cases) will be implanted 600mg sustained released 5-FU and 60mg sustained released cisplatin. Group C (50 cases) will be the controlled one which will not be implanted any chemotherapeutic drugs. All patients will accepted TACE 30 days after liver resection. We will follow up all patients until they are dead or missed connected. Related adverse reaction will be recorded. Total survival time (TST) and disease free survival time (DFST) will be calculated too. At the end of the study we will compare the difference of adverse reaction, complication, TST and DFST between the 3 groups. According to the result we will estimate these drugs' antitumor effect and safety.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • sustained released 5-FU and sustained released cisplatinDrug

    Also called 5-FU+Cisplatin group

    600mg sustained released 5-FU and 60mg sustained released cisplatin will be implanted into liver incisal margin after tumor is resected.

  • sustained released 5-FUDrug

    Also called 5-FU group

    600mg sustained released 5-FU will be implanted into liver incisal margin after tumor is resected.

  • TACEProcedure or surgery

    Also called Postoperative TACE

    All patients will accept TACE one month after tumor was resected.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sustained released 5-FU and sustained released cisplatin, sustained released 5-FU and TACE in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

disease free survival (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Mar 2016.
