About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Study on the Effect of S-Adenosyl Methionine Treatment on Anti-tumor Recurrence After Curative Resection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The aim of this study is to explore the effect of S-Adenosyl Methionine on recurrence after curative resection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is now a major health problem. Although the recent advances in treatment of HCC have significantly improved the prognosis of patients with HCC, the overall survival rate is still unsatisfactory; the 5-year survival rate is only 50-70% even after curative treatment such as hepatic resection and percutaneous radiofrequency ablation. One of the reasons for the poor prognosis of HCC is its high rate of recurrence.However,anti-relapse treatment remains a pressing work to do.

In recent years, some study reported that S-Adenosyl Methionine had an impact on promoting apoptosis and inhibiting the growth on breast cancer, colon cancer,gastric cancer and liver cancer in vitro and vivo.

In this study, we aim to examine whether S-Adenosyl Methionine have an effect on improving patients' recurrence after curative resection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing S-Adenosyl Methionine 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: status not confirmed, 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 phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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 Shen Feng, MD (0086-021-25070805, shenfengdfgd@yahoo.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to tumor recurrence (time frame: 5 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.
