About this study

Recurrence and metastasis are the main factors affecting the prognosis of liver cancer after curative resection. Establishing an effective prognostic evaluation method is able to not only assess patients' prognosis but also guide the treatment. At the same time, it helps us to gain knowledge of the mechanism underlying recurrence and metastasis of liver cancer and to provide the basis for the search for new effective intervention method.

In order to establish an effective prognostic evaluation method, we select liver cancer patients undergoing curative resection in our hospital. We plan to employ various technologies such as gene chip, methylation chip and flow cytometry to carry out comprehensive researches on liver cancer cell genetics, epigenetics, stem cells and tumor microenvironment changes. By analyzing clinical information including pathological features, patients' response to treatment, relapse, metastasis and survival, we aim to obtain the important factors affecting liver cancer prognosis, survival, recurrence and metastasis in order to be able to find and establish the effective prognostic evaluation method.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatocellular Carcinoma; and Radical Hepatic Resection;, run by Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital at 2 sites 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 2 sites 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?

Overall survival (time frame: 2015). 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.
