Trial summary

Recurrence and metastases after microwave ablation(MWA) of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) are the major factors that influence the survival. Obesity has been reported was significantly correlated with increased risk of developing HCC. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: HCC patients are treated by ultrasound-guided percutaneous MWA

Who may be able to join

  • absence of ascites or the depth of ascites on US detection less than 4 cm;
  • a normal serum total bilirubin level or less than 60 µmol/L;
  • a normal albumin level or not less than 30 g/L;
  • for radical treatment, single lesion of 8 cm or smaller, three or fewer multiple lesions with a maximum diameter of 4 cm or less, absence of portal vein cancerous thrombus or extrahepatic metastases;
  • for palliative treatment, those with large or multiple lesions, suffering multiple metastases and unsuitable for other modalities can be considered to undergo the MWA on the condition of good hepatic function and blood coagulation function to tolerate the procedure.

Who cannot join

  • clinical evident liver failure, such as massive ascites or hepatic encephalopathy or with a trance-like state
  • severe blood coagulation dysfunction (prothrombin time of more than 30 seconds, prothrombin activity less than 40%, and platelet count less than 30 cells×109/L)
  • high intrahepatic tumor burden (tumor volume >70% of the target liver volume or multiple tumor nodules) or high extrahepatic tumor burden
  • acute or active inflammatory and infectious lesions at any organ
  • acute or severe chronic renal failure, pulmonary insufficiency or heart dysfunction
  • relative contraindication concerns medical risk for the tumor proximity to diaphragm, gastrointestinal tract, gallbladder, pancreas, hepatic hilum and major bile duct or vessels, which may require adjunctive techniques to prevent off-target heating of adjacent structures during the ablation procedure.

About this study

Official title: Central Obesity and the Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Microwave Ablation

Recurrence and metastases after microwave ablation(MWA) of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) are the major factors that influence the survival. Obesity has been reported was significantly correlated with increased risk of developing HCC.

In this study, we will analysis the association of multiple obesity index(waist circumference,waist-hip ratio and body mass index) with the prognosis of HCC treated by MWA.

What is being measured

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

  1. survival

    Percentage of participants who survived up to end time point as assessed by Kaplan-Meier

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. intra-hepatic metastasis

    Percentage of participants who present metastasis in the liver up to end time point as assessed by Kaplan-Meier

    Measured: 3 years

  2. extra-hepatic metastasis

    Percentage of participants who present metastasis outside the liver up to end time point as assessed by Kaplan-Meier

    Measured: 3 years

  3. local tumor progression

    Percentage of participants who present tumor progression around the ablation zone up to end time point as assessed by Kaplan-Meier

    Measured: 3 years

  4. complication

    number of participants with side effect and major complication

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Obesity, run by Chinese PLA General 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 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Mar 2017. 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 Jie Yu, Dr (66939530, yu-jie301@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

survival (time frame: 3 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 17 Mar 2017.
