About this study

the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aptinib in patients with advanced HCC

Read the detailed description

HCC The is a common malignancy in the world, especially in China. Advanced HCC treatment is difficult and the prognosis is poor, which is still a great challenge and threat to the medical profession. The advent of the molecular targeted drug, Sola, has made the treatment dilemma of advanced HCC a breakthrough, but the efficacy and economic health ratio is far from satisfactory. After Sola, many new molecular targeted drugs were studied, but failed.

Although multiple treatment options, but for HCC Patient-recommended treatment programs require systematic treatment and surgery, TACE , local ablation and radiotherapy and other multidisciplinary means of combination, the selection of appropriate patients, appropriate means and timing to achieve individualized treatment.

  1. Aptinib Union TACE can be generated through embolization and angiogenesis by the dual target of vascular suppression;2. TACE induces hypoxia, leading to an increase in the number of hypoxia-inducing factors that increases VEGF and PDGFR , while VEGF the and PDGFR may be important factors that induce tumor recurrence by stimulating tumor angiogenesis.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TACEProcedure or surgery

    Also called chemoemtranscatherer arterial bolization

    epirubicin 30-60mg was injected into the blood supply artery of the tumor ,Embolization was subsequently performed with granules of gelatin sponge particles.

  • ApatinibDrug

    Also called ai tan

    a molecular targeted anti-tumor drugs,small molecule vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 inhibitor

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TACE and Apatinib in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and 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 15 inclusion and 16 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 12 Jan 2018. 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. 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 Zhi Guo, MD (18622221211, cjr.guozhi@vip.163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PFS (time frame: one and a half year). 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 12 Jan 2018.
