About this study

Official title: TACE Associated With Systemic Chemotherapy Versus Systemic Chemotherapy in Patients Who Failed With First Line Chemotherapy

To date no randomized controlled trials have been completed that demonstrated whether TACE(Transarterial chemoembolization) is an effective adjunct to systemic chemotherapy (target therapy) with respect to advantages in conversion resection rates and survival compared with chemotherapy (target therapy) alone for patients who failed with first-line chemotherapy.The primary objective of this trial is to determine conversion resection rates and survival for patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis are treated with TACE plus chemotherapy ± target therapy, compared to chemotherapy ± target therapy in the 2nd, and 3rd line.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing TACE and chemotherapy±target therapy in people with Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Metastatic to the Liver, run by Fudan University 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 7 inclusion and 3 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 12 Jun 2019. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

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?

Progression free survival (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT03783559, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Jun 2019.
