Trial summary

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is featured by the spontaneously rupture when suffering severe cirrhosis and intratumoral overpressure. It is a fatal complication with an acute mortality. Importantly, it is served as an independent risk factor for peritoneal metastasis (PM) of HCC with poor prognosis. Read more about this study

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 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • HCC patients have been diagnosed by NCCN clinical practice guidelines in oncology, Hepatobiliary cancers, version 2.2021.
  • ECOG score of 0-2 points;
  • Child-Pugh class A-B liver function only;
  • Consistent with the diagnosis of srHCC: symptoms: acute abdominal pain and peritonitis; blood routine tests: decrease of erythrocyte count; increase of leucocyte count, especially the proportion of neutrophils; radiological features: contrast materials extravasation from lesions confirmed by abdominal contrast enhanced computed tomography or promethean magnetic resonance imaging; intraoperative findings of tumor rupture and postoperative pathology are more confidently conclusive.
  • Consistent with PM of HCC: histological evaluations: biopsy of peritoneal nodules or ascites cytology or postoperative pathological verification; radiological diagnose: early enhancement and late wash-out radiological property of peritoneal nodule or mutual confirmation by two senior radiologists.
  • All of selections have received open or laparoscopic hepatectomy to reach complete macroscopic resection or less than 2.5mm of residual tumor tissue, which is equal to 0 or 1 degree of completeness of cytoreduction.
  • Patients voluntarily participated and signed the informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Contraindications of HIPEC, such as: extensive intra-abdominal adhesions caused by various reasons; complete intestinal obstruction; severe kidney insufficiency; myelosuppression caused by previous targeted therapy or own blood system disease; severe cardiovascular system disease; infection, especially abdominal infection; bleeding tendency or coagulation dysfunction; the vital signs are unstable; cachexia;
  • Extraperitoneal metastasis;
  • Patients who refuse to accept clinical trials;
  • Those who are deemed unsuitable for inclusion by the researchers.

About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Mitomycin C-based Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy After Spontaneously Ruptured Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Peritoneal Metastasis: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is featured by the spontaneously rupture when suffering severe cirrhosis and intratumoral overpressure. It is a fatal complication with an acute mortality. Importantly, it is served as an independent risk factor for peritoneal metastasis (PM) of HCC with poor prognosis. The systematic agents effective to extrahepatic lesions confers modest efficacy towards PM. HIPEC, as a novel strategy, has been proved by overwhelming studies that it is effective to peritoneal malignant tumors. However, there is absence of prospective study of HIPEC efficacy towards HCC.

What participants receive

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

  • mitomycin C-based hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapyProcedure or surgery

    The patients with srHCC or PM of HCC were randomly allocated to either the HIPEC group or the control group. All of them have received open liver resection and perfusion tubes had been set in the operation. For patients with PM of HCC served operation, we are subject to reach CC score at 0-1 to creating sufficient conditions for HIPEC. Finally, place the HIPEC tubes. Implementation of HIPEC was administered 3times on the 1st, 3rd, 5th days within one week after operation. We used intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion device (BR-TRG-IITM, Bao Rui medical corporation, Guangdong, China) to achieve HIPEC. The abdominal temperature was maintained at 43°C (109°F) by circulating heated saline. The perfusion volume was 3000ml of normal saline, and the chemotherapeutic agent of mitomycin C was 10mg for a 1-hour perfusion period.

What is being measured

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

  1. recurrence-free-survival

    the time from the first administration to the date of first recurrence, including local recurrence and PM and distant metastasis, or death for any cause.

    Measured: 2years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing mitomycin C-based hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Peritoneal Metastasis, run by West China 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 7 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 16 Sep 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 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Jiwei Huang, Professor (+86 18980606725, huangjiwei@wchscu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

recurrence-free-survival (time frame: 2years). 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 16 Sep 2022.
