About this study

Official title: Comparison of Efficacy in Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) of Hepatocellular Carcinoma ≤5 cm With or Without Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE)

The study aims to compare efficacy and adverse reactions of hepatocellular carcinoma participants (≤5cm) who receive stereotactic body radiation therapy with or without transcatheter arterial chemoembolization.The investigators will optimize the combined treatment schedule of SBRT for hepatocellular carcinoma participants by comparing overall survival rates, progression-free survival rates and local control and adverse reaction occurrence rates in the two groups.

Being tested
transcatheter arterial chemoembolization

What participants receive

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

  • transcatheter arterial chemoembolizationProcedure or surgery

    The hepatocellular carcinoma patients (≤5cm)who received SBRT are devided into two groups: with TACE and SBRT alone.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival rates

    OS is calculated starting from the date of SBRT to the date of the final follow-up or demise of the patients.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months

  2. Progression-free survival rates

    PFS is estimated starting from the date of SBRT to the date of disease progression or patient death.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of disease progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months

  3. Local control rates

    LC is defined starting from the date of SBRT to the date of treated-lesion progression or patient death.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Radiation-induced liver injury rates

    Measured: From the date of radiotherapy completion until the 4 months after therapy,up to 6 months.

  2. Adverse reaction

    Measured: From the date of radiotherapy completion until the 4 months after therapy,up to 6 months.

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 Jing Sun, Master (+8613718681094 ext. +8613718681094, 519299998@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall survival rates (time frame: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04161287, which also lists 5 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.
