About this study

Official title: A Simple Technique of Rapid Ligating the Corresponding Inflow and Outflow Vessels Without Hilus Dissection During Hepatectomy

This study examines the role of this simple technique on postoperative metastasis and long term survival.

Read the detailed description

The only hope of long-term survival for patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is surgical resection or liver transplantation, the former of which is more feasible at present. However, postoperative recurrence or metastasis is an ominous feature for this disease. Innovation of the surgical procedure for improving prognosis is under emergency request. This study examines the role of this simple technique on postoperative metastasis and long term survival.

During the past 20 years, more 600 patients with primary HCC were performed hepatectomy with the new hemorrhage control technique, and prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) was applied. We further applied a mice model ligating the pedicle of the lesion-located hepatic lobe before hepatectomy to imitate the clinic practice, and evaluated the role of the new technique on postoperative metastasis and survival.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. recurrence

    to examine if there is intrahepatic recurrence

    Measured: 12 months

  2. metastasis

    to examine if there is intrahepatic metastasis and metastasis in distant organs

    Measured: 12 months

  3. mortality

    intraoperative death, and death in one month after surgery

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Prognosis

    to check the 5 years overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS)

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing hepatectomy (conventional method) and hepatectomy (rapid ligating) in people with Cancer Progression, run by Huazhong University of Science and Technology 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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Dec 2014. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Xiaoping Chen, M.D. (+86 27 83662851, chenxp@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

recurrence (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02319863, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Dec 2014.
