Trial summary

Introduction:The drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) is introduced to better improve efficacy and reduce the systemic toxicity in liver cancer patients on account of its higher intratumoral chemotherapeutic drug concentration and reduced drug infiltration into systemic circulation.

About this study

Official title: The Comprehensive Analysis of Efficacy and Safety of CalliSpheres® Drug-eluting Beads Transarterial Chemoembolization in 367 Patients With Liver Cancer: a Multiple-center Cohort Study (CTILC Study)

Introduction:The drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) is introduced to better improve efficacy and reduce the systemic toxicity in liver cancer patients on account of its higher intratumoral chemotherapeutic drug concentration and reduced drug infiltration into systemic circulation. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy, safety and prognostic factors of DEB-TACE treatment in Chinese patients with liver cancer.

Hypothesis:DEB-TACE illustrates a better treatment response, progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and less common adverse events (AEs) in liver cancer patients.

Objective: to investigate the efficacy, safety and prognostic factors of DEB-TACE treatment in Chinese patients with liver cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment response

    Treatment response was assessed at 1-3 months after DEB-TACE treatment according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) by enhanced computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination.

    Measured: One-three months after DEB-TACE treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. overall survival

    OS was calculated from the time of DEB-TACE operation to the time of patient's death from any causes.

    Measured: The median follow-up duration was 171 (range from 38 to 404) days.

  2. Liver function evaluation

    Liver function indexes including ALB, TP, TBIL, TBA, ALT, AST and ALP were recorded before, 1 week post and 1-3 months post DEB-TACE treatment to evaluate the influence of DEB-TACE on liver function. The analysis of liver function evaluation was based on the treatment records of DEB-TACE .

    Measured: One week post and 1-3 months post DEB-TACE treatment.

  3. Adverse events (AEs)

    AEs were recorded during DEB-TACE operation and 1 month after DEB-TACE operation, and the analysis of AEs was based on the treatment records of DEB-TACE.

    Measured: During DEB-TACE operation and 1 month after DEB-TACE operation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Liver Cancer, run by Zhejiang Cancer Hospital.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Oct 2017. 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.

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?

Treatment response (time frame: One-three months after DEB-TACE treatment). 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 NCT03317483, 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 23 Oct 2017.
