Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: * Patient with a first TACE (naive) or not, regardless of the number of previous procedures * Patient naïve or on a new line of oncological treatment, regardless of the number of previous lines of treatment.

Who may be able to join

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • HCC diagnosed on consensus radiological criteria in cirrhotic patients (EASL-EORTC 2012): helical CT or MRI with triple arterial, portal, and late acquisition. The diagnosis is based on the presence of hypervascularization at the early arterial time (wash-in) with wash-out (hypodensity or hypointensity compared with non-tumor liver parenchyma) at the portal phase or late phase compared with non-tumor parenchyma.
  • Histologically diagnosed HCC in the absence of an imaging diagnosis
  • Patient with a first TACE (naive) or not, regardless of the number of previous procedures
  • Patient naïve or on a new line of oncological treatment, regardless of the number of previous lines of treatment.
  • Treatment decision validated by the digestive oncology staff.
  • Patient having read and understood the information letter and signed the informed consent.
  • Patient follow-up performed at the Charles Nicolle University Hospital in Rouen.

Who cannot join

  • Other active cancer or hematological malignancy, currently being treated
  • Patient not affiliated to the social security system
  • Pregnant woman or woman in labour or breastfeeding
  • Person deprived of liberty by an administrative or judicial decision
  • Person placed under court protection

About this study

Cohort study to assess the impact of ctDNA detection in the follow-up and management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated by TACE

Read the detailed description

The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has increased significantly over the past 30 years.

The majority of HCCs present at an intermediate stage, ineligible for a curative surgical approach and the reference treatment in this situation corresponds to a palliative locoregional treatment of Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). This treatment modality can be repeated several times and the interval between each session as well as the modalities to evaluate the efficacy of this procedure remain poorly codified. This evaluation is currently based on imaging performed at one month (M1) (MRI and/or CT scan) more or less associated with the study of the variation of the alphafetoprotein level measured before (baseline) and after (M1) the treatment. However, these evaluation tools have many limitations and remain imperfect in predicting response to treatment.

In this context, liquid biopsy, which is experiencing significant growth in oncology, could be a promising tool. It is characterized by the detection of tumor elements in the bloodstream such as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Several studies have successfully demonstrated the diagnostic or prognostic value of ctDNA in patients followed for HCC.

the aim of our study is to evaluate the impact of ctDNA detection in the follow-up of patients treated by TACE.

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiological response at 1 month according to mRECIST and ctDNA detection

    radiological response : mRECIST (progressive disease; stable disease, partial response, complete response) LIRADS (LR-TR Nonviable, LR-TR Equivocal, LR-TR Viable); ctDNA at 1 month detection (yes or no)

    Measured: 4 to 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Circulating Tumor DNA and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Non-resectable, run by University Hospital, Rouen 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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Vincent VERDIER, MD (+33 2 32 88 86 10, vincent.verdier@chu-rouen.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Radiological response at 1 month according to mRECIST and ctDNA detection (time frame: 4 to 6 weeks). 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 25 May 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
