About this study

Official title: Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University

Through the screening of CTCs in patients with suspected liver cancer and liver tumor resection or liver transplantation, the number of CTCs in the blood of liver cancer patients before and after surgery is monitored, and the clinical application significance of CTCs in liver cancer screening and postoperative recurrence monitoring in liver cancer patients is evaluated.

Read the detailed description
  1. Screen patients with suspected liver cancer Long-term exposure to liver cancer risk factors (hepatitis B carriers, past history of schistosomiasis, long-term diet of Aspergillus food, history of liver cirrhosis, etc.), patients with liver cancer are initially suspected.
  2. Monitor the number of CTCs in the blood of patients with liver cancer before and after surgery Imaging examinations show that liver space is occupied by patients with suspected liver cancer. Use CTCBIOPSY® technology to monitor patients' surgical operations (including interventional therapy, tumor resection, or liver cancer liver transplantation) at different times 1-3 days before, 1 month after surgery, and 6 months after surgery The number of CTCs in peripheral blood.
  3. To evaluate the clinical application significance of CTCs in liver cancer screening and postoperative recurrence monitoring in patients with liver cancer Combined with clinicopathology, tumor marker examination and imaging examination, clinical follow-up and follow-up, analyze the clinical significance of CTCs detection in liver cancer patients, and focus on evaluating the relationship between circulating tumor cells in liver cancer screening and postoperative recurrence, and establish a new The liver cancer prediction model improves the prognosis of liver cancer patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical detection of circulating tumor cells

    To evaluate the specificity of CTCs for liver cancer screening and the feasibility of early recurrence after interventional therapy, tumor resection or liver transplantation

    Measured: 2020.01.20-2021.02.28

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Circulating tumor cell function detection and verification

    Analyze the correlation between circulating tumor cells and clinical prognosis after liver cancer surgery and further mechanism exploration

    Measured: 2020.03.01-2021.05.20

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Circulating Tumor Cell, run by Zhongnan 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 30 Dec 2020. 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.

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 Qifa Ye (+86-02767812988, 190679136@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical detection of circulating tumor cells (time frame: 2020.01.20-2021.02.28). 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 30 Dec 2020.
