Trial summary

Distinct vascular patterns (ECTC or Non-ECTC) of tumors plays an important role in tumor migration, metastasis and drug resistant in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is no non-invasive method to predict vascular pattern in clinical. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Computed Tomography Perfusion Parameters Predict Vascular Pattern in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Prospective Study

Distinct vascular patterns (ECTC or Non-ECTC) of tumors plays an important role in tumor migration, metastasis and drug resistant in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is no non-invasive method to predict vascular pattern in clinical. In the present study, we prospectively assess CT perfusion parameters for evaluation of the vascular pattern in HCC.

What participants receive

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

  • CT perfusion examinationOther

    CT perfusion was performed with a 64-section multidetector CT scanner. The following CT parameters were used to acquire dynamic data: blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), mean transit time (MTT), permeability-surface area product (PS), hepatic artery ejection fraction (HAF), hepatic artery perfusion (HAP), and hepatic portal vein perfusion (PVP). And we used these parameters to predict the vascular pattern.

Study groups in NCT04715321
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Training cohortHCC patients enrolled in our study underwent a perfusion CT examination before surgery . We used CT perfusion parameters to predict the vascular pattern of tumors.
Receives: Other: CT perfusion examination
Validation cohortHCC patients who would undergo a perfusion CT examination before surgery will be enrolled in our study from January 15, 2021. We use CT perfusion parameters to predict the vascular pattern of tumors.
Receives: Other: CT perfusion examination

What is being measured

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

  1. Predictive performance of CT perfusion

    The primary outcome of our study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specifity of CT perfusion in predicting vascular pattern of HCC

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall survival (OS)

    OS is the length of time from the date of randomization until death from any cause

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Disease-free survival (DFS)

    Disease-free survival is calculated from the date of surgery to tumor recurrence or death from any cause (or the date of the last follow-up if the patient was alive)

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Sun Yat-sen 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 6 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 29 Dec 2021. 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?

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?

Predictive performance of CT perfusion (time frame: 6 months). 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 29 Dec 2021.
