About this study
Official title: Preventive Effect of Celecoxib on Sorafenib-related Hand Foot Syndrome
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common fatal malignant tumor, although with the popularity of health examination, most patients were diagnosed as HCC in advanced stages so far. Sorafenib is currently recognized worldwide as the only effective treatment for advanced HCC. However, sorafenib need long-term medication, and will bring a series of side effects, including, hand, foot and comprehensive syndrome (Hand-foot syndrome, HFS) limbs swelling, rash, peeling, pain.Occurrence rate of HFS is about 21%-51%, which seriously affect patient's quality of life.Besides, this side effects appeared to be dose-related.When severe HFS happened, sorafenib need to reduce dosage or discontinue administration, which could seriously affect the patient's survival. Therefore, investigators designed this prospective randomized controlled study to explore preventive effect of celecoxib for sorafenib related HFS, the influence on the quality of life in patients with, and also the synergistic anti-tumor effect of celecoxib in combination with sorafenib on HCC. This study will explore horizon of improving treatment for sorafenib in patients with advanced HCC,quality of life and tumor control.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Celecoxib and Sorafenib in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Sun Yat-sen University.
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 5 inclusion and 2 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 10 Sep 2019. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
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?
Incidence of participants with clinically definite Sorafenib-related Hand Foot Syndrome (time frame: within the first 6 months after sorafenib administration). 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 NCT02961998, 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 10 Sep 2019.
