Trial summary

Hepatectomy is the first option for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) at CNLC Ib stage. HCC patients who undergo curative hepatectomy may experience varying remnant liver volumes and thus leads to different oncological outcomes. Read more about this study

Study population: a final sample of 197 patients was included in this study. Among these patients, 70 underwent MAH (including 62 right hepatectomies, 4 extended right hepatectomies, and 4 extended left hepatectomies), while 127 patients underwent MIH (including 32 left hepatectomies, 10 right anterior hepatectomies, 17 right posterior hepatectomies, 11 mesohepatectomies, 20 left lateral hepatectomies, 21 right partial hepatectomies, 3 left partial hepatectomies, and 13 single segment hepatectomies). Using PSM analysis, 49 pairs of matched patients were identified from each group to compare outcomes.

Who may be able to join

  • histologically confirmed solitary HCC with a size of ≥5 cm
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score of 0 or 1
  • preoperative indocyanine green retention rate at 15 minutes ≤15% and Child-Pugh A classification
  • no evidence of vascular invasion or extrahepatic disease.

Who cannot join

  • not diagnosed with HCC or had an HCC measuring <5 cm
  • had confirmed tumor metastases or macrovascular invasion based on radiological examinations
  • died within 90 days after surgery were excluded

About this study

Official title: Impact of Major Hepatectomy on Recurrence After Resection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma at China Liver Cancer Staging (CNLC) Stage : a Propensity Score Matching Study

Hepatectomy is the first option for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) at CNLC Ib stage. HCC patients who undergo curative hepatectomy may experience varying remnant liver volumes and thus leads to different oncological outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who undergo curative hepatectomy may experience varying remnant liver volumes. The investigators aimed to evaluate whether the extent of liver resection has an effect on postoperative recurrence in HCC patients. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 197 patients who underwent hepatectomy for a solitary HCC lesion measuring ≥5 cm between January 2019 and June 2022. Patients were divided into major hepatectomy (MAH) group (n=70) and minor hepatectomy (MIH) group (n=127) based on the extent of liver resection. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) was compared between the two groups. Propensity score matching was employed to mitigate potential biases in this research.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Stage I and Recurrence, run by Anhui Medical 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 30 Apr 2024. 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?

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?

recurrence-free survival (time frame: 2019.1-2023.8). 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 Apr 2024.
