About this study

Official title: Pringle's Maneuver Versus Selective Hepatic Vascular Exclusion in Hepatectomy About Recurrence and Survival :A Prospective Randomized Trial

To confirm that SHVE is a safe and effective procedure and it can prevent bleeding of the hepatic vein. To evaluate the recurrence and metastasis in HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy by SHVE.To evaluate that SHVE can improve survival in HCC patients or not.

Read the detailed description

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a serious disease with high incidence at home and abroad still shows a rising trend. In recent decade, the overall survival rate of the disease has entered a platform stage with little advance despite diversified methods of treatment. The prognosis of HCC is not so satisfying.

Intraoperative bleeding remains a major concern during liver resection. Blood loss usually occurs during parenchymal transection and reperfusion after Pringle's maneuver. The amount of blood loss and the need for blood transfusion have a detrimental effect on the short- and long-term prognosis.

Portal triad clamping is sufficient in most situations to control bleeding during hepatectomy. However, it does not prevent backflow bleeding from hepatic veins, which may become troublesome or even hazardous. This is particularly true in tumors that are large or that have invaded into the branches of the major hepatic veins.

SHVE completely isolates the liver from the systemic circulation with the advantage of preventing backflow hemorrhage or air embolism without having to resort to caval blood flow interruption of THVE.

The purpose of the study is to assess the risk factors for the recurrence and metastasis in HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy by SHVE and to evaluate that SHVE can improve survival in HCC patients or not.

What participants receive

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

  • Selective Hepatic Vascular ExclusionProcedure or surgery

    Also called SHVE group

    Inflow occlusion with extraparenchymal control of major hepatic veins results in total liver isolation from the systemic circulation but without interruption of caval flow.

  • Pringle's ManeuverProcedure or surgery

    Also called Pringle's Maneuver group

    Hepatic pedical clamping is performed by encircling the hepatoduodenal ligament with a tape and then applying a tourniquet or a vascular clamp until the pulse in the hepatic artery disappears distally.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Selective Hepatic Vascular Exclusion and Pringle's Maneuver 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 6 inclusion and 5 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 1 Apr 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Overall survival (time frame: 1,2,or 3 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 1 Apr 2016.
