What participants receive

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

  • TACE + hypofractionated EBRTOther

    One cure of doxorubicin or DC Beads transarterial chemoembolization by a highly experienced interventional radiologist, followed 1 to 4 weeks later by hypofractionated external beam radiation therapy up to a total dose of 45-60 Gy, 3 Gy per fraction, 5 fractions per week, for an overall treatment time of 3 to 4 weeks.

  • Surgical resectionProcedure or surgery

    Surgical resection by open-laparotomy or laparoscopy of hepatocellular carcinoma by a highly experienced liver surgeon

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease-free survival of the patient after start of treatment

    Disease-Free Survival (DFS) defined as the time (in months) between the treatment (surgical resection or TACE) and the diagnostic of local, locoregional or distant recurrence, or date of death from any cause; patients who are alive or lost to follow-up at the time of the analysis will be censored on the last follow-up date; patients who have received a liver transplant for non-carcinologic reason will be censored on the date of transplantation.

    Measured: Within 10 years after the treatment (surgical resection or TACE)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Apr 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 France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Disease-free survival of the patient after start of treatment (time frame: Within 10 years after the treatment (surgical resection or TACE)). 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 1 Apr 2021.
