Trial summary

To date, Sorafenib is the only drug therapy to have demonstrated a benefit in overall survival in patients with advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. However, this treatment causes many adverse effects that may limit its prescription. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Relationship Between the Residual Plasma Concentration of Sorafenib and the Occurrence of Adverse Events in Patients Treated for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

To date, Sorafenib is the only drug therapy to have demonstrated a benefit in overall survival in patients with advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. However, this treatment causes many adverse effects that may limit its prescription.

Under these conditions, predicting and therefore potentially preventing the adverse effects of sorafenib is a major issue in the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated with this drug.

Read more

Currently, there is little data available on the correlation between the pharmacokinetics of sorafenib and the side effects of this drug in patients treated for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Investigators propose an observational cohort study evaluating the correlation between residual plasma concentration of sorafenib and the risk of severe adverse effects (grades 3-5) in treatment in patients treated for hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis.

This study should include 60 patients over an expected duration of 12 months. The aim of this work is to determine whether there is a correlation between the residual plasma concentration of sorafenib and the occurrence of severe adverse effects (grades 3-5) at treatment in patients treated for hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis as well as potential influence of the etiology of cirrhosis on this relationship. The ultimate ambition is to be able to anticipate and thus prevent these adverse effects in order to increase the safety of the drug and potentially its effectiveness.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Advanced or Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by University Hospital, Caen at 1 site in France.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Nov 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 France. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

residual plasma concentration of sorafenib (time frame: from baseline over 6 month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Nov 2017.
