About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety Study of Folfox4 Chemotherapy Regimen to Prevent Early Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients With Portal Vein Tumor Thrombus Following Curative Resection

This study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Folfox4 chemotherapy regimen to prevent early recurrence for hepatocellular carcinoma patients with portal vein tumor thrombus following curative resection

Read the detailed description

Curative resective is well-accepted as the predominant treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Unfortunately, the long-term prognosis remains poor due to frequent postoperative recurrence, especially in HCC patients with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT). When PVTT invades into the portal vein system, tumor cell spreads and distributes along with the portal vein and its branches,thus resulting in intra-hepatic micro-metastasis which contributes to early recurrence for patients following curative resection. Postoperative adjuvant interventions include TACE, antiviral therapy, immunotherapy, local radiotherapy were applied to prevent recurrence. However, the efficacy and safety of these regimens remains unsatisfactory. Thus new therapeutic strategy remains to be investigated. This study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Folfox4 chemotherapy regimen to prevent early recurrence for HCC patients with PVTT following curative resection.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 Jiazhou Ye, M.D. (+86 13367719078, nnsz20013@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

early recurrence (time frame: from date of randomization until the first document recurrence from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 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 25 Oct 2016.
